If you have a coffee lover in your life, getting them the perfect gift this holiday season is not out of reach. Here, we’ve compiled a list of gift ideas for coffee enthusiasts they are bound to love.
Gooseneck Kettle
A kettle is a must-have for a coffee lover who enjoys brewing their own coffee, and a gooseneck kettle is particularly useful for someone who enjoys making pour-over coffee. Because of its curved and slender spout, it allows for more precise pour control.
Our Pick: Stagg EKG Pro Electric Kettle ($195, shop here)
Moka Pot
For the espresso lover without an espresso machine – and an espresso machine is over your budget – consider gifting them a moka pot. A key advantage of using a moka pot is that the water passes through the coffee grounds more slowly, extracting additional flavor and producing a richer cup of coffee.
Our Pick: Bialetti Moka 6-Cup Express Espresso Maker ($42.99, shop here)
Coffee Grinder
Someone who loves making their own coffee typically purchases bags of beans instead of ground coffee, meaning they can always use different coffee grinder options. Manual grinders have hand cranks and take longer than electric grinders. So we say opt for a great electric alternative with precision-cut steel burrs.
Our Pick: Baratza Encore Black Coffee Grinder ($149.95, shop here)
Pour-Over for One
Pour-over coffee is a popular brewing method because it allows for more control over the process, which includes pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a cone filter, resulting in a clean and complex cup of coffee. The option to make a pour-over for one simplifies the process when the coffee lover in your life only needs to make a cup for themselves.
Our Pick: Le Creuset Pour-Over Coffee Cone ($30, shop here)
On-the-Go Coffee Maker
Portable coffee makers are small and lightweight and don’t require batteries or electricity, making it easy to make coffee anywhere, anytime. If the coffee enthusiast in your life enjoys camping or off-the-grid getaways, a portable coffee maker is the perfect gift. The below option is easy to use and can make American-style coffee, cold-brew coffee, espresso-style coffee for lattes, and cappuccinos.
