More about Christmas in Brisbane
Tired of giving your special guy socks, undies and ties every Christmas? If you're looking for a unique (yet practical) gift that's sure to impress him, then read on.
This year, why not give him a coffee inspired hamper from Brisbane's iconic merlocoffee? If your special guy is a coffee lover with an unmerciful palate, an amateur DIY barista, or just the occasional caffeine fiend, a custom-created coffee hamper from merlocoffee will do the trick.
The coffee house has announced a unique range of coffee-inspired hampers that will make any dad, husband or special someone think they've hit the jackpot. Coffee inspired goodies on offer include:
Jamaican Blue Mountain: The world's most desired coffee which is grown in the eastern end of Jamaica in the majestic range of hills known as the Blue Mountains. Coffee aficionados can indulge in 100 percent unblended Jamaican Blue Mountain at any BarMerlo espresso bar or merlocoffee Torrefazione* for a limited time.
Merlo Chocolate Coffee Beans: Described as heaven on earth, the Merlo Chocolate Coffee Beans bring two of the world's oldest (best) flavours together - chocolate and coffee. "Using top grade dark Cadbury couverture chocolate and our own espresso beans, we have found the preferred taste fit we believe will satisfy both Merlo coffee lovers, and chocolate fans, while maintaining the antioxidants which abound in both".
Merlo Coffee USB cup: Your dad will be able to keep his coffee hot all day when he used the Merlo Coffee USB cup warmer. All he has to do is plug the cup's USB cable into his computer and the coffee stays hot!
The team at merlocoffee can create any hamper you like, just pop in to the factory at 104 McLachlan Street, Fortitude Valley.
