Valentines Gift for the coffee lover

stacked-cups-1

Forget chocolate and flowers, how about a coffee lovers gift basket.

We have become big fans of the morning latte. We spend some loot on our beans

but we rarely get lattes out and we figure “think how much money we are saving”

Plus everything we put in our lattes is organic and free trade. Guilt free – right?!

These cups above were handmade in Sweden by artisans for a favorite coffee house of ours.
