Gevalia Kaffee – Coffee House Party

Several weeks ago I was asked to host a Gevalia Kaffee Coffee house party and to share some great tasting Gevalia coffee with a few of my friends. Gevalia coffee is one of our favorite brands and we love to brew a pot of it in the morning, but that is not the only time we enjoy it!

We love to use their coffee to make Iced Coffees on hot Summer days, in various recipes and it’s our favorite coffee to use when we make homemade coffee flavored ice cream!

Before I tell you all about my house party, do you know what a Fika is? A Fika (Fee*kah) is a Swedish tradition that’s all about taking time during the day to indulge in the simple pleasures of life, like coffee and good company. Well, I decided to invite a few close friends and a few family members over to my home last weekend to enjoy a Fika with me!

For my Fika house party, I was shipped a box of goodies from Gevalia which included: bags of Gevalia coffee, stainless steel travel coffee mugs, stainless steel coffee scoops, Gevalia coffee coupons, etc. I also supplied a few of my favorite desserts like a triple berry trifle, maple pecan coffee cake and a few other delicious treats.

Once the coffee was done brewing, I served it in the supplied travel mugs and then asked my guests what they thought of the coffee. Every guest told me that it had a smooth taste, wasn’t bitter, wasn’t too strong and they felt it had a nice aroma. I then asked them how it compared to their current brand and 7 out of 8 people told me that it was better than their current brand of coffee! Wow, I was really surprised about that!

We held our Fika outdoors since it was a beautiful afternoon and I really enjoyed spending time with everyone who attended. My friends Kathy & Tom had to cancel (she has the flu), so we did miss seeing them. Regardless, we decided to just sit outside and enjoy the sunshine during our FIKA which was really fun.

Towards the end of my little party, I served everyone some homemade coffee ice cream that I had made in my ice cream machine using some Gevalia coffee. It was delicious and apparently, I didn’t make enough because it was gone in less than 30 minutes. When I make homemade coffee ice cream, I always and I mean ALWAYS use Gevalia House Blend coffee because it gives the ice cream a beautiful smooth taste without it being over-done.

Once my party was over, every guest left with Gevalia coffee coupons, their stainless steel Gevalia coffee mug and coffee scoops. They all told me that they had a wonderful time and that we should all get together once a month for another Fika! Yay!

I would like to thank House Party and Gevalia for supplying us with all of our goodies for our Fika party!
