Grounds for celebration? These are the best gifts for coffee lovers in your life
Home roasting kits, funny mugs, java-inspired art: They'll love these brew-tiful ideas.
Under normal circumstances, the human body is made up of about 60% water. In my case, it's more like 60% coffee. If you see me without a cup in hand, you're probably looking at my doppelganger. I both live to sip and sip to live. So, yes, I drink A LOT of coffee. "Mainlining" has been used to describe my consumption.

Under $20 gifts for coffee lovers
What’s cuter than a coffee cozy that's also a coaster? Say that three times fast. These charming little warmers are handmade by artisans in Guatemala, so each one is unique. Filled with a cinnamon and clove combo or coffee beans, the warming aromas activate with heat. Just pop them in the microwave and they'll stay insulated — and fragrant — keeping your brew warmer for longer, and making the whole experience... cozier!
We love a gift that's pretty and practical. This pick is far classier than a chip clip and a measuring spoon, and more streamlined too. It comes in black, gold, rose gold and silver, so you can select a shade that best complements their home coffee station.
A cold cup of coffee is such a buzzkill. This simple-to-use gizmo will keep their cuppa warm all day long. It takes no learning curve — just plug it in and switch it on and you'll have piping hot joe for the sipping. Our executive editor swears by it, as do legions of fans on Amazon.
Know someone who has a Chemex coffee maker? Then this adorable little cozy is a no-brainer. It's got a little zipper, so it looks like a cardigan sweater! Cuteness aside, it's actually a very practical and thoughtful gift. It gives the glass carafe some much-needed insulation, so the coffee stays warmer for longer. It also protects against scratches and smashes.
Those boxes that filters come in are hardly aesthetic — and they get messy. This offers a little bit of class to your coffee aficionado's storage and keeps things so much more organized. The bamboo holder fits Chemex and cone-shaped filters, so it's just right for your friends who favor a pour-over.
Inexpensive gifts for coffee lovers
No coffee bar is complete without some yummy add-ins. Torani Italian syrups are well-known for being flavorful and versatile. This classic set of four will set them up for hazelnut, vanilla, caramel and French vanilla lattes. If you want to push the envelope, we also recommend the chocolate chip cookie dough or brown sugar cinnamon.
Just think of munching on these buttery cookies with an afternoon cappuccino. The demerara coating gives them a subtle caramel note, making these British favorites a richly-flavored companion to any coffee drink they accompany.
Did you know that cold brew coffee is not only less acidic than hot (and therefore easier on the stomach and teeth), but it retains more of the beans' antioxidant properties? That means bestowing this on someone is like giving the gift of good health!
Our experts tested 13 top-rated cold brew coffee makers and this one came out as the best of the best. It was one of the easiest to use, yielding a strong, flavorful brew. Plus, it fits nicely in the fridge and pours beautifully on the table.

Air is the nemesis of fresh-tasting beans. This clever canister has a patented design which creates a tight seal to keep beans flavorful for longer by forcing out air and removing oxygen from the internal chamber.
Choose from eight colors, including brushed copper, obsidian (ooh!) and the snazzy matte red shown here.
This high-precision scale boasts thousands of five-star reviews for its exceptional build, accuracy and functionality. It measures down to the gram and features a timer, allowing you to track extraction precisely. The no-slip silicone cover is a nice touch that prevents mugs and glasses from sliding around.
Sure, we appreciate a good ole ceramic mug, but half of the beauty of a great cup of coffee is lost in an opaque vessel. This set of two is made from double-walled borosilicate glass so you can admire your joe as it stays hot while your hands stay cool. These are microwave and dishwasher-safe — but we love them most for showing off the drink's color, texture and foam.
And for the true coffee lover, glass is said to be the only material that doesn't alter the flavor of your concoction in any way.
If they love coffee but crave a decadent latte without having to work for it, they'll adore this instant milk frother. It couldn’t be easier to use — just measure your milk and select either light or dense froth. Moments later, you’ll have cappuccino-worthy results. Prefer a café au lait or cortado? This gadget has a steamed milk option that delivers piping hot, froth-free goods. And on those warm days when a cool drink is in order, it even features a cold foam setting for iced lattes.
The beauty of the hand grinder is it's portable and quiet (so no one will give you stink eye if you're going at it before sunrise). This ceramic version has high-quality conical burrs that are sharp enough to cut the beans into varying consistencies without ever mashing them. Your lucky recipients will appreciate that they can customize grind consistency to a degree that is usually reserved for much pricier electric machines.
Unique gifts for coffee lovers
If their java isn't just their morning habit but their culture and way of life, they'll love this print. While we are accustomed to thinking of our coffee beans as purely brown, they actually go through a range of colors before they're bagged and brewed for our consumption. This abstract design takes you through each hue, from growth to hulling and roasting, all the way towards being a delicious cup.
Coffee and chocolate is such a classic combo. Few pair them so well than the award-winning gourmet chocolatier Compartés LA — who has been making some of the most delicious and decadent treats in the world for the past 75 years.
These truffles combine super dark chocolate with a rich and creamy Kona coffee center. And, of course, like all Compartés LA chocolates, the outside is hand-painted, so each bite is like a tiny work of art.
This is not your grandpa's instant coffee. Quite frankly, it tastes way better than it has any business doing. This 4-pack includes light, medium and dark roasts.
To put it plainly, this is some of the best coffee in the world cryogenically frozen into pods that preserve its "fresh as the day it was brewed" flavor for up to two years. What you get is the essence of expertly brewed pour-over without needing the tools or know-how. These pods are beloved by coffee luminaries like James Hoffman and Helen Russell — and coffee snobs like David Chang and Seth Rogan.
They don't have to be from the city that never sleeps to appreciate this nod to the Big Apple's iconic takeout coffee cup. This 14-karat gold charm would look good on its own or with others on a bracelet or chain. We are particularly smitten with the "removable" lid, making for an unexpected fidget.
What's better than a cup of coffee and a good book? A good book about coffee. What's better than a book about coffee? A book by James Hoffman, champion barista and coffee expert. While his "How to Make Coffee" is his more famous bestseller (and a terrific option, if how-tos are more their style), we love how this title thoughtfully takes us through the history of coffee in our culture and its journey to becoming a morning ritual worldwide. He doesn't shy away from the socioeconomic implications of the coffee trade, so they'll finish this book being a more enlightened and thoughtful coffee connoisseur.
Sipping good coffee really is like a spa for your mind (hence this clever mug featuring a brain bathing in brew). It's a cozy and relaxing cup of comfort like no other! If you don't know what we mean, you're probably not a coffee person. Coffee people get it. Trust us.
We bet you know someone with a pretty sweet coffee setup at home... which may make them a tad insufferable while traveling (or even at work, TBH). When they MUST have their daily cup (or five), and that hotel pot just won't do, enter this portable pour-over. It'll allow them to have their brew to their satisfaction, no matter where they roam. When they are done, it folds up flat for their next adventure.
They've nailed down exactly how they like to brew their beans. How about they start roasting them? This kit will teach them how to home-roast small batches of green coffee beans in an oven or on the stovetop. Sure, it's a fun activity, but they'll also learn all about roasting techniques and — likely — will refine their coffee-loving taste buds even more.
And now for something completely different. If they're still exploring their coffee-brewing style, this is a fun gift that combines a bit of immersion and percolation in one device. This switch dripper works like a pour-over, but it allows you to let the grinds steep for longer — a method that can mellow out bitterness in beans. The switch function lets you release the brew to your taste for loads of control and options for experimenting.
This fits beautifully over a range of servers, but it was designed to go with this one by Hario, making for a lovely package.
The "it" roaster of the moment, Onyx is currently getting a lot of love on Reddit boards. If you gift someone this sampler, they'll know you've done your homework.
The roasted-to-order collection features eight 4oz tasters of the brand's bestselling coffees, packed into a lovely fold-out gift box complete with brewing tips and artwork they'll admire upon opening.
This compact doodad was practically made for gifting. It's fun and novel, yet it makes a darn good cup of coffee. I'm a fan, as is our home and garden writer, who praised the brew it made for her during testing.
The AeroPress uses a piston to force coffee through a filter and into a cup, making a brew that's similar to a French press. Unlike a French press, however, its quicker-cooling brew chamber prevents the possibility of over-extraction. Some people love this diminutive device for making their coffee daily. Others adore it for being a perfectly packable size, allowing it to travel easily — be it by car, plane or backpack.
Ever try to balance your biscotti on the edge of your saucer while carrying your coffee to your Sunday morning perch? It can be done, but... couldn't it be done a little better? Finally, a saucer that was made to hold their coffee and their favorite sweet in perfect, wobble-free, much-less-likely-to-drop harmony.
Make stirring their favorite cup of java that much more special. At 5 1/2 inches, the spoons are ideal for taller coffee drinks and the smaller, rounded head makes scooping up a bit of sugar so much more refined. We also like these for scraping layers of foam to prolong the decadence of a particularly well-made cappuccino.
They may think they know what they like, but this blind taste-testing kit will challenge all of their preconceived notions. It includes five single-origin coffees from around the world that have been expertly roasted to perfection. They won't know what they are tasting until they break a sealed envelope that will divulge the brew's origin and profile info.
You might ask yourself, "Who needs another mug?" and — to be honest — we'd probably agree with you. But when a set is this artful, we change our tune. This chubby cup and saucer has an offbeat Nordic style that looks like it would feel so comfortable in our hands.
Luxury gifts for coffee lovers
Many Italian homes have a Bialetti Moka espresso pot on their stoves 24/7. But do they have one this cool?! In this collaboration with Dolce & Gabanna, Bialetti redesigns their Moka pot in the style of a Carretto Siciliano, the traditional, ornate Sicilian horsedrawn cart. It would look so gorgeous in any kitchen, and it's just a tad more accessible than a D&G jacket.
If they are serious about their latte art, there really is no other option than the NanoFoamer.
Most hand foamers have a whisk that makes a coarse froth that, while fun and fluffy, is useless when it comes to creating latte art. That kind of foam also drinks kind of… fuzzy. For someone who likes a rich dense foam, this gizmo produces a level of froth that's equal to (and sometimes better than) some of the best espresso machines on the market — but in a much more portable way.
If precision is the name of their coffee game, this smart mug will soon be their best friend. It's voted by our tech editor as both the best heated coffee mug and the household appliance he'd be most likely to save in a fire (no word on if he'd grab his kids first). This app-controlled gadget keeps that joe heated to the exact temp that is most pleasing to their palate — and maintains the temperature all day long.
Chemex fan? Us too. Chemex is known for making the most pure-tasting, sediment- and bitterness-free cup of coffee. Give a little elegance to their morning pour-over with this handblown glass version. Not only does it look sleek, reviewers say it's easier to wash.
Maybe add a few extra filters to the gift box, so they can get right to pouring.
We're going to guess that if they are fans of French Press coffee, they already have the Martha Stewart-favored Bodum Chambord. While the Chambord makes a yummy cup of coffee, glass French presses tend to break and they aren't well-insulated.
Not only does this make rich yet sediment-free 24 ounces of coffee, it keeps that coffee warm for hours. It's also beautiful to look at. I like to keep mine on my desk and pour smaller cups all day so I'm never without fresh, hot brew.
