    The Best Gifts For Coffee Lovers

    Whether it’s the first cup of the morning or a midday pick-me-up, coffee lovers cherish every moment of their caffeinated ritual. If you’re on the hunt for the perfect gift for the coffee enthusiast in your life, you’ve come to the right place! I can’t live without my first cup of coffee in the morning. So much so, that I even have a portable espresso maker that I pack with me when I travel (more on that below!)

    I’ve rounded up some of my favorite coffee-related gifts that will bring a smile to anyone who cherishes their daily brew. Here’s a list of thoughtful gifts that will perk up any coffee lover’s day.

    12 ounce bag of Stumptown coffee.

    High-Quality Coffee Beans

    You can’t go wrong with a bag of premium coffee beans. Opt for single-origin beans from a renowned roaster like Blue Bottle, Stumptown, or Eola Coffee Company. If you’re unsure of their preference, a subscription service like Trade Coffee is a fun way to let them explore new blends every month.

    Glass Keepcup with cork sleeve

    Reusable Coffee Cup

    For the eco-conscious coffee lover, KeepCup is fantastic brand for eco-conscious coffee lovers who want a stylish and sustainable way to enjoy their favorite brew on the go. These cups are designed to replace disposable coffee cups, which makes them perfect for anyone looking to reduce waste while still keeping their caffeine routine intact. Made with durable materials like tempered glass and natural cork, they’re super lightweight and easy to clean.

    Yeti ceramic lined espresso mugs

    Ceramic Lined Travel Mug

    Another option for commuters and travelers is a ceramic lined travel mug. For the coffee purist on your list, this mug is a total game-changer. Unlike traditional stainless steel tumblers, which can sometimes add a slight metallic taste to your brew, ceramic interiors keep the flavor pure and true to how it was brewed. Plus, ceramic-lined mugs often feel more like sipping from your favorite coffeehouse cup rather than a bulky thermos.

    For espresso-lovers, get the 4 ounce Yeti Rambler set (they also come as 6 ounce stackable mugs). And for those that like more of a traditional travel mug, I recommend Rtic Road Trip Ceramic Lined Mugs, Simple Modern Ceramic-Lined Coffee Mug, or the simply adorable Chug Jug.

    javasok on iced coffee

    Iced Coffee Koozie

    If the coffee-lover on your list loves their drive-thru iced coffees, then I recommend a reusable iced-coffee koozie like the ones by Java Sok! They keep your iced coffee colder, longer. And they keep the condensation from getting all over your cup holders. There’s over 200 colors too, so you’re sure to find a favorite.

    Outin portable espresso maker

    Portable Espresso Maker

    For the nomadic coffee drinker, a portable espresso maker like the Outin we travel with is a dream come true. These are on the pricer side of gifts for coffee lovers, but they brew an amazing espresso whether you’re at home, on the road, or even in the great outdoors. They come with two brew capabilities, both loose ground coffee or aluminum bell-shaped Nespresso style pods.

    coffee bean grinder

    Coffee Grinder

    There’s nothing quite like freshly ground coffee, and whether you go for a manual grinder (like the Timemore Chestnut) or an electric one (such as the Baratza Encore), the results are worth it. Manual grinders are perfect for travel and camping, while electric grinders offer speed and consistency, making them a great choice for daily home brewing.

    Ember coffee warmer

    Coffee Mug Warmer

    Raise your hand if you’ve ever forgotten about your coffee and found it cold. (Me. Every day.) A coffee mug warmer, like the Ember Smart Mug, keeps their drink at the perfect temperature so they can savor every sip.

    Chemex pour over

    Pour-Over Coffee Maker

    For the coffee purist, a Chemex or Hario V60 is a must-have. Pair it with a gooseneck kettle (the Fellow Stagg EKG is my fave) for a precise pour that brings out the best in their beans. The slow brewing process of a pour-over highlights the delicate flavors and nuanced notes in the coffee, making it cleaner and more aromatic compared to drip coffee or espresso. It’s perfect for those who enjoy savoring every sip of their brew.

    Bodum French Press

    French Press

    As a coffee enthusiast, I’m hoping French Press makes a come-back. It’s a classic gift for coffee lovers who enjoy a rich, full-bodied cup. Unlike pour-over or drip coffee, which rely on filtration, the French press steeps coffee grounds in hot water for several minutes before pressing them down with a plunger. This method allows the natural oils and fine particles from the coffee to remain in the brew, resulting in a thicker, more robust flavor. It’s perfect for those who love bold coffee with a bit of cream.

    glass coffee storage container

    Coffee Storage Canister

    Fresh coffee is happy coffee, and a vacuum-sealed coffee canister like the Fellow Atmos or Airscape keeps those beans fresher for longer. Or you could go with a traditional glass container too. Bonus that most also come with a measuring scoop! Plus, they look so chic on the counter.

    Oxo Cold Brew Maker

    Cold Brew Maker

    Got an iced coffee lover on your hands? A cold brew maker, like the Simple Modern or OXO Good Grips, makes brewing a batch of smooth, cold brew a breeze.

    latte art kit

    Latte Art Kit

    Help them unleash their inner barista with a latte art kit! A milk frother, steaming pitcher, and stencils make it easy to create Instagram-worthy designs.

    World Atlas of Coffee book cover

    Coffee Books

    If they’re the kind of person who loves learning about coffee as much as drinking it, books like The World Atlas of Coffee by James Hoffmann or Craft Coffee: A Manual by Jessica Easto are packed with inspiration and tips. We also love The Coffee Book: Barista Tips and Recipes, Beans From Around The World by Anette Moldvaer.

    Coffee t-shirt that says "Def Tired Pour Some Coffee On Me"

    Coffee-Themed Apparel

    From cozy hoodies to witty t-shirts that scream “Coffee First,” coffee-themed clothing is a fun way to show off their caffeine pride. It’s a safe choice for gifts for coffee lovers if you’re not sure what kind of coffee they prefer. My favorite is one I have that says, “Def Tired, Pour Some Coffee On Me.”

    Coffee Subscription Box

    For a gift that keeps on giving, sign them up for a coffee subscription box. Companies like Atlas Coffee Club or Bean Box deliver fresh beans from around the world straight to their door. Who wouldn’t love that?

    Coffee Scented Candles

    Capture the cozy vibe of their favorite coffee shop with a coffee-scented candle. Brands like Craft + Kin and 96North make candles that smell like roasted coffee and espresso.

    Milk Frother

    A handheld milk frother, like Zulay Kitchen, is perfect for creating foamy lattes and cappuccinos at home. It’s a small gadget that makes a big impact and comes in a choice of colors with a convenient stand for storing. You could also splurge for a Dreo Barista Maker Frother that not only heats your choice of milk (it has settings for plant based and traditional milk), but it also creates that perfect, barista-like microfoam for both hot and cold lattes.

    Espresso Machine

    If you’re feeling generous and looking for an impressive gift, perhaps for a big birthday or wedding, then an espresso machine is a coffee-lovers dream. There’s the classic Breville Barista Touch for a more hands-on approach to making espresso. Personally, we have the Phillips Automatic Espresso Machine in our kitchen that does a great job with just the touch of a button. There’s also the new Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier Series, which I haven’t personally tried yet, but it looks amazing.

    For something a little more affordable, but still luxurious, there’s also the Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker (it comes in fun colors) and the L’Or Barista System which uses similar style aluminum pods.

    Coffee Tasting Journal

    For the coffee nerd (and I say that with love), a tasting journal is a great way to track their favorite beans and brewing experiments. It’s like a diary for their coffee journey.

    Coffee Cocktail Kit

    Who says coffee is just for mornings? A coffee cocktail kit—complete with liqueurs, bitters, and a recipe book—is perfect for whipping up espresso martinis or Irish coffee.

    So there you have it, my top recommendations for gifts for coffee lovers! Whether you’re shopping for a hardcore coffee aficionado or someone who just loves a good cup, these ideas are guaranteed to bring a smile. After all, life’s too short for bad coffee—so let’s make it great!
