Gifts for Coffee Lovers

October 7, 2020

Gifts for Every Type of Coffee Lover

Everyone has “that one friend” who seems to have a coffee cup surgically attached to their hand. You know that if you give them a gift that has anything to do with coffee, you’ve handed them a winner.

Sometimes, we want to go beyond giving the typical gift card or bag of beans from the local coffee shop. Here’s a list of gift ideas for any coffee lover, whether they’re just in love with their Keurig machine or they’re venturing deep into the world of cupping (tasting).

Gifts for Coffee Connoisseurs

Please don’t call them coffee snobs. Learning to appreciate different types of coffee can be a wonderful and rewarding adventure. After all, some people appreciate the difference between great cheeseburgers and so-so cheeseburgers. It also happens that there’s a wide variety of items you can get a true coffee lover that are affordable and will be appreciated.

Coffee Brewers

If you know how your coffee drinking friend brews their coffee, you’ll also know what they don’t use to brew coffee. Beginners especially will start out brewing using a single method before they experiment with others. This opens the door for another type of coffee maker.

Hario V60 Dripper
hario v60 pour over kit
See this kit on Amazon

This is one of the easiest ways to learn the Pour Over method of brewing coffee.
The V60 dripper is set at a 60 degree angle, allowing for the perfect amount of water to drip through while still letting air escape.
This kit has nearly everything the budding barista needs to get started with the pour over method. Just add a scale, timer (a phone app will work) and a water kettle with a thermometer.

Chemex Coffee Brewer

See the Chemex Coffee Brewer on Amazon.

Famous for being a Pour Over brewer with style, the Chemex was designed by a German chemist and looks like a lab flask. The modern, museum-worthy styling always intrigues guests and would be a nice addition to any coffee bar. A Chemex also requires special filters so if your coffee lover already has a Chemex brewer, more filters will always be warmly received.


French Press
sterlingpro french press coffeemaker
The SterlingPro French Press Coffee Maker on Amazon.

A tried and true method for brewing coffee. Some may not appreciate the amount of grounds left in their cup but it’s an easier method of brewing compared to the pour over. It can also be used to mimic other types of drinks such as chai tea since you can add all types of spices and leaves.

SterlingPro Double Wall Stainless Steel French Coffee Press

We love the machinery and especially love the double wall. This model has a newer double screen design that filters out more sediment. It sure beats out that glass French press we grabbed at the discount store for ten bucks.

AeroPress Coffee Maker

Check out the AeroPress Coffee Maker on Amazon

Alton Brown’s favorite method of brewing does take some practice to get right but it’s a great method to master since it’s so portable. It eliminates the problem of lingering sediment that occurs when using the traditional French Press. This is a great idea for coffee lovers that travel and may not have time to spend time at a premier coffee shop.
This model even has a tote bag.

There are also AeroPress competitions.
Here’s a place to find new AeroPress recipes.
The dice were very popular and have unfortunately sold out but there are phone apps that do the same thing or you can visit this random recipe generator online.

Like the Chemex, Aeropresses use special coffee filters.

Syphon/Siphon
hario glass syphon coffee maker
Click to see reviews on Amazon.

One of the most complex methods of brewing coffee is accomplished with a Syphon or Vacuum Pot. This is a scientist’s dream machine. Perfect for anyone who misses the fun they had with the Bunsen burner in their high school science classes.

Coffee Scale

coffee scale
Click to see on this scale and others on Amazon.

Yes, every barista wannabe will be weighing both their coffee and their water. They also come in handy when measuring other things out in the kitchen.

You can get scales with timers which is one less thing your coffee making friend will have to worry about.

Coffee Kettle

gooseneck kettle
Click to check out this 40 ounce coffee kettle on Amazon.

Coffee kettles can be spotted by their unique gooseneck spout. This gives more control over the flow of the pour. They come in stove top versions and electric models.

If you get a stove top model be sure to get one with a thermometer as this is an important piece of the coffee brewing puzzle.

Coffee Grinder/Mill

If you decide to pick out a grinder for your coffee fiend, go with a burr grinder over a blade grinder. Blade grinders won’t evenly grind the beans, leaving the flavor varied and always underrated.

On the less expensive end of the mill spectrum, go with a manual grinder over an electric model. The cheaper electric models, which often double as spice grinders, can heat up the beans, causing a loss of flavor and disappointment all around.

Also, make sure that the grind is adjustable from coarse to fine grounds. The coarseness varies depending on the brewing process.
Here’s a nice example of an electric burr mill from Cuisinart.

cuisinart automatic burr mill
See the Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill on Amazon.

Click here to read our review of the Capresso Infinity Coffee Grinder Model 560.

Here’s a great example of a manual coffee mill.

Two things that coffee beans should never come into contact with are air and light.

Pour Over Stand
