Whether they’re a budding home barista, a Chemex devotee, or somewhere in between, we have gift ideas for every kind of coffee lover.
Uncommon Goods; Amazon
From morning cup obsessives to occasional coffee drinkers, coffee lovers span a wide range in their dedication to roasted beans and delicious brews. But wherever they land on that spectrum, they’re sure to appreciate a coffee-related gift.
Coffee itself is a storied item with centuries and centuries of history across the world. It has been used in everything from religious rituals in Yemen to sprawling 17th-century coffee houses in the UK. One line throughout history, though, is the careful way coffee is brewed. To this day, coffee drinkers may take a sacred pour before starting their day or chug a freshly brewed cup for afternoon energy.
Whether the coffee drinker in your life loves a curated bean or a flavored, sugary beverage, here are some great gift ideas for every kind of coffee enthusiast.
The 39 best gifts for coffee lovers:
Trade Coffee
Trade Coffee Subscription, available at Trade, from $40
Trade makes our favorite coffee subscription and it’s easy to see why: the brand offers a huge variety, tons of options for delivery size and frequency, and free shipping. Your giftee will set up their subscription, tell Trade how they prefer to brew their coffee, how they take it, their ideal roast and flavor profile, and the company matches them with their ideal beans.
Kruve
Kruve, Inc. EQ Glasses, available at Kruve Inc., $42.49
If they’re really into tasting their coffee, here’s how you can help them learn to do it like the pros. This insulated glass is designed to amplify the notes in coffee, helping them appreciate it in a whole new way.
Williams Sonoma
Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee and Tea Maker, available at Amazon, $28.81
We recently tried this and couldn’t have been more impressed: goodbye gritty French-press coffee! This one truly gets all the grounds out.
Bean & Bean
NYC Top 4 Bundle, available at Bean & Bean, $79
For the coffee drinker who appreciates beans with a story behind them, AAPI-owned Bean & Bean is the perfect pouch of caffeinated goodness. Rather than being from your typical grocery store or cafe brand — which can still be delicious, of course — Bean & Bean is an NYC-based coffee company run by a mother-and-daughter team. The bundle includes four different packs of coffee, each with its own source and tasting notes, and there are at least 100 cups worth of coffee in this gift.
Amazon
If you know someone who is on the brink of becoming a coffee snob (affectionately), then this book will take them over the finish line. Uncommon Grounds tells a fascinating story of the caffeinated bean and how it has been woven into and shaped many cultures across time.
Amazon
Baratza Sette 270, available at Amazon, $399.95
Whether their preference is talcum-powder-fine Turkish coffee or coarse-as-can-be French press, nothing like a step-up coffee grinder will improve their at-home game. This one from Baratza is for the true espresso aficionado and can grind more finely and precisely than your standard burr or blade grinder.
Uncommon Goods
Ceramic Greek Coffee Cup, available at Uncommon Goods, $15
Bring them all of the New York City nostalgia with this ceramic version of the classic NYC takeout cup.

De’Longhi 3-in-1 8-cup Specialty Coffee Brewer, available at Amazon, $169.95
This is one of the smallest electric coffee brewers on the market and received the Specialty Coffee Association’s coveted home brewer certification; an accolade that takes many months of testing and refining to achieve. We’re smitten with this little coffee brewer — and they will be, too.
Amazon
BLK & Bold Rise & Grind Coffee Blend 2 pk, available at Amazon, $28.00
Not only is this blend unique with flavors of lemon and caramel, but BLK & Bold also donates 5% of its profits to support at-risk youth across the country.
Fellow
Fellow Ode coffee grinder, available at Fellow, $299
There’s a different grinder for just about every type of coffee, and Fellow’s Ode is the best grinder for pour-over and Chemex coffee at home (within reason). Someday, they might want to soup up the machine with some fancy burrs, but this will get them headed in the right direction.
Amazon
Destalya Hammered-Copper Turkish Coffee Maker, available at Amazon, $13.99
This coffee maker is one a lot of coffee lovers might not have, and it won’t crowd their kitchen. It’s simple and understated, but charming as can be.
Angel’s Cup
Angel’s Cup Coffee Subscription, available at Angel’s Cup, from $8.99/month ($3 shipping within the US; $13 to Canada)
Coffee, much like beer, is undergoing a renaissance, and there are more options than many of us know what to do with these days. Angel’s Cup sends an increasingly curated box (there are several options) to help them taste a flight of several samples or receive a bag tailored to their palate each month.
Que
Que Insulated Bottle, 17-ounce, available at Amazon, $32.95
This could be their new favorite coffee (or tea) mug and water bottle. Our favorite thing about this is that it doesn’t impart any metallic or plastic-y tastes like some other options out there.
Amazon
Harold Import Co. Milk Frother, available at Amazon, $24
A no-fuss, classic-style manual milk frother fits in with whatever coffee getup they have on their counter. Or for more ideas, you can read our guide to the best milk frothers here.

Etsy
Coffee Guide Print, available at Etsy, $5.48
As self-proclaimed coffee lovers, they should probably know these breakdowns. But just in case they forget, this cool poster reminds them of the difference between a breve and a black eye. This is also an instant digital download, so it’s a great last-minute gift — roll it up with ribbon and you don’t even need to get an extra frame.

Gaggia Classic Pro, available at Amazon, $439
Our top pick for the best espresso machine for most people, the Gaggia Classic Pro has been around for decades, and there’s hardly a home machine more classic.
Read our guide to the best espresso machines.
Ember
Ember Generation 2 Mug, available at Best Buy, from $129.95
This life-changing mug will alert them when their coffee gets to the optimal temperature — and keep it from cooling after that.

Amazon
Matow Dual Head Coffee Leveler, available at Amazon, $35.99

Amazon

Copper Cow Coffee
Copper Cow Coffee Vietnamese Pour-Over Kit, available at Amazon, from $10.99
If their home-coffee routine is getting a little dull by now, here’s something they might not have tried, or might be missing from their local cafe.
Amazon
Jabuka Twisting Alphabet Game, available at Amazon, $19.93
Because all coffee hounds are bookworms, too, right? And, yes, it would be cool if they were real coffee beans, but we all know they wouldn’t last.
Dylan Ettinger/Insider
Hario Skerton Pro Manual Coffee Grinder, available at Amazon, $37.85
That noisy old blade grinder doesn’t only wake up everyone in your house, but it doesn’t really make the best coffee either. A handheld coffee mill makes supremely uniform grounds at a fraction of the cost of a quality burr grinder. As for the noise, you’ll finally get to sleep in.
Williams-Sonoma
Aeropress, available at Target, $39.99
For the peripatetic French-press enthusiast or the home barista looking for something new and perhaps not so expensive as espresso, the Aeropress can’t be beat.
Amazon
Fellow Prismo, Pressure-Actuated Attachment for Aeropress, available at Fellow, $30
This might not make bonafide espresso per se, but it will certainly get the Aeropress devotee in your life a little closer to what they’re after. And if they haven’t yet mastered the Aeropress, feel free to send them this way.
Uncommon Goods
Kissing Couple Mugs, available at Uncommon Goods, $65
Everyone knows a coffee-loving couple in need of these.
Atlas Coffee
Atlas Coffee Subscription or Gift Set, available at Atlas Coffee Club, from $60

Owen Burke/Business Insider
Kruve Coffee Sifting Device, available at Kruve, $76.49
Apart from fresh beans, the real trick to making the best humanly possible cup of coffee lies in properly sized and consistent grounds. The Kruve sorts out the odd bits and will help them find the perfect grind setting, and in turn, the perfect cup of coffee every day for the rest of their life.
Amazon
Bialetti Mokka Espresso Pot (3-cup), available at Walmart, $51.83
This should be a staple in every household. Easy, rich, and oh so crema-y when done right.
We recommend this pot with no reservations. Check out our full guide to stovetop espresso makers here.
Zwilling J.A. Henckels
Zwilling J.A. Henckels Sorrento Double-Wall Espresso Glasses (Set of 2), available Zwilling, $17.99
If they’re going to go through the trouble of making espresso, they may as well drink it right. These insulated glasses are microwave safe, but they won’t need to reheat their drink because the double walls keep hot drinks hot for longer.
Amazon
Evak Fresh Saver Airless Canister, available at Amazon, from $17.95
If you know someone who’s opening their coffee bags and letting them go stale, this is a quick fix that will blow their mind. These canisters are stackable and great for herbs and other sundries as well.
Amazon
Chemex Classic (6-cup), available at Amazon, $46.98
Stylish and sophisticated, yet simplistic. This is the kind of understated elegance anyone can appreciate.
Read our guide to the best drip coffee makers here.
Yeti
Yeti Rambler 10-ounce Stackable Mug, available at Yeti, $25
For remote life, wherever that may take them, be it the couch or the cabin.
Owen Burke/Insider
Flair Manual Espresso Maker, available at Amazon, $165
If you have a friend or family member that is constantly in search of the best espresso machine south of $500, this is the ticket. They’ll still need a grinder, but they can foot that bill. The Flair is about the price of most espresso pod machines, but there’s no arguing as to whether or not it makes real espresso: the crema it produces is priceless. That’s why we named it the best manual espresso maker in our guide.
Driftaway
Driftaway Explorer Box, available at Driftaway, from $33
If they’re forever in search of the perfect roast, here’s how they’ll find it: this sampler box comes with five different coffee flavors.
Amazon
IParts Plus More Reusable K-Cups (4-pack), available at Amazon, $9.95
If they love the convenience of the Keurig, but not at the expense of the environment, these reusable K-cup pods are a worthy compromise.
Check out our full guide to coffee and espresso pods here.
Amazon
“How to Make Coffee: The Science Behind the Bean” by Lani Kingston, available at Amazon, $17.29
Because we could all use a few pointers on our morning cuppa.
Monin
Lavender Syrup, available at Monin, $11
Coffee on its own is great, but some people like it even better when it’s spruced up and sweetened with dessert-like flavors. Monin makes gourmet syrups used in boutique shops across the country, from a soft rose flavor to French vanilla. Gift one or a handful to make their days a lot sweeter.
