But, but, but... you stated in your OP in the other thread:

"Not sure if either imbibes, so top of the line booze could be a
waste."

Surely you'd know if she 'imbibes' or not if you knew the bride very well?

Again, if you know the bride so well, why the heck not? I doubt she'd be
offended. Not much point in buying them a selection of expensive coffee
beans if they don't have a grinder, is there?

Just seems like an awful waste of money to me if it doesn't work out...
At an average of $14/lb for the 8 types of beans you've bought for
them - plus the load of Penzey blends must have cost you a small fortune.
