Gift giving is hard. If you have coffee lovers in your life, chances are they already have a favorite mug and a favorite bean. What can you give them that they’ll appreciate? Something that will remind them of you every morning as they’re enjoying their favorite brew?
To help you out, I’ve put together a list of 6 different gift ideas for the coffee lover in your life (or for you). There are gifts for every budget, so you’re sure to find one that works for you.
A New Kettle
Coffee starts with hot water, and hot water starts with a good kettle. No doubt your coffee lover has a kettle – a utilitarian model that heats water. But the Fellow Stagg EKG Kettle is where form and function meet. The EKG Kettle features precision pour spout, variable temperature control, an LCD screen, a 60-minute hold mode, a brew stopwatch, and a sleek minimalist base. Select from four different colors.

Yeti Travel Mug
I thought all travel mugs were interchangeable – a cheap plastic lid on a metal thermal cup. Then I got a Yeti. I was surprised to find it still holding heat long after lunchtime. If your coffee lover doesn’t have a Yeti yet, this is one simple gift they’ll really appreciate. (paid Link to Amazon)
Wax & Wick Candle
The Wax & Wick Espresso Soy Candle is made in America and features long-burning soy wax and the aroma of espresso and chocolate. (paid Link to Amazon)
James Hoffmann’s The World Atlas of Coffee
Here’s the perfect book to thumb through while enjoying a cup of joe. The World Atlas of Coffee takes the reader on a tour of coffee-growing countries, with full color photos and descriptions of cultures where coffee is a way of life. (paid Link to Amazon)
Burr Grinder
The coffee lover in your life deserves a good grinder. Blade grinders work in a pinch, but a burr grinder allows for the most consistent and adjustable grind. My favorite is the Rancilio Rocky grinder, with 55 levels of grind. The Rocky grinds without imparting heat to the beans, preserving the aromas of your roast.
