EIGHT tips for brewing up the perfect celebration

1. Be your own ‘brewista’

Create a coffee house vibe and offer guests tasty toppings like cinnamon, cocoa, nutmeg, ginger and flavored creamers.

2. Coffee can be enjoyed any time

Break tradition – hosts don’t have to wait until the end of the meal to begin brewing. Welcome guests to a warm, cozy home filled with the fragrant aroma of coffee. Visitors won’t be able to resist a cup the minute they remove their coats.

3. Open before the holidays

Don’t wait until the night of your soiree to unveil that brand new French press. Play it safe and test out new coffee makers and brewing gadgets long before company arrives.

4. Create delicious dessert dishes using coffee ingredients

Create chocolate and coffee-flavored cupcakes, a coffee crumb bunt cake or a batch of coffee brownies and perfectly pair with a cup of your favorite coffee.

5. Delight guests with coffee to go

Stock up on holiday-themed to go cups with lids and send guests home with a fresh cup of Eight O’Clock Coffee for the road – a must for visitors with a long ride ahead.

6. Offer coffee options

Whether it’s a variety of flavors or having a carafe of decaf available, make sure you have options for holiday guests.

7. Plan for the holiday crowd

If brewing coffee in a high-capacity urn, consider storing and serving coffee in carafes after brewing. Carafes keep coffee hot and fresh, while urns may “burn” your brew over time.  

8. BYOC

If you’re heading over to a holiday party, be unique and bring coffee. While most partygoers bring wine, you can surprise your favorite hostess with a bag of coffee. This will be especially appreciated for designated drivers who need to stay awake to safely get partygoers home.
