Make a Personal Coffee Blend

Martha Stewart Living, December 2003

Spice up a gift of coffee by creating a distinctive flavor. Mix one or two teaspoons of cinnamon or nutmeg into a pound of freshly ground coffee beans; or scrape the seeds from four vanilla beans with a paring knife, and add them to a pound of coffee. For the best flavor, use a medium-bodied coffee, such as one from Kenya or Colombia. Scoop into a coffee bag with a coated lining, available at kitchen-supply stores. Finish with a ribbon and a decorative sticker.

    Does anyone know where I can find inexpensive vanilla beans? I would appreciate it if you could... the only beans I have found have been $6 for two, and that is fairly expensive!

    Do you think I could use already ground coffee, such as Gavilia?
