1. Burr Coffee Grinder

$99

Grinding whole bean coffee right before brewing is the first step to achieving a great cup of coffee. A burr coffee grinder is a must for brewing a great cup of coffee from your whole beans.  The burr grinder creates a more uniform/consistent particle size from your coffee bean than a blade grinder.  This consistent grind results in a more uniform extraction and a better cup of coffee.  This conical burr grinder from Capresso provides a wide range of grind sizes making it great for everything from Turkish fine to percolator coarse.

2. Coffee Bean Subscription

$20 per month

A coffee subscription like the Atlas Coffee Club gives you a chance to taste coffees from around the world, delivered right to your doorstep. Their premium single origin coffee not only tastes good but is sourced fair trade, helping ensure ethically sustainable farming practices around the world. Their coffee of the month club gives you a new roast each month, and the box also includes a postcard from each month’s country plus tasting notes & coffee history for each batch. 

3. Pour Over Coffee Set

$45

Pour over coffee gives you ultimate control over your cup of coffee, from the temperature of the water, the speed of pouring the water, to the amount of time it brews, etc. Additionally, a pour over coffee set like the one linked here is easy to take camping or with you on the go; all you need is the ability to heat water and add your ground coffee. Although they are more famous for their tumblers these days, this pour over set from Stanley is a family favorite. 

4. Espresso Machine

$450

An Espresso machine brings the coffee shop home to you! I like using the Nespresso system which uses coffee pods to easily and quickly make an assortment of types of espressos. This machine from Nespresso, the Creatista, also has an integrated milk steaming wand which lets you make a quick cappuccino or latte whenever you want (and hopefully helps you save some $ from those Starbucks drinks you would normally buy).

5. Electric Milk Frother

$30

Properly made milk foam can make all the difference in your hand crafted coffee creation. If you want a quick way to make lattes and cappucinos at home but don’t want to invest in an espresso machine with a steam wand, then this is for you! This electric milk frother lets you quickly make dense foam, airy foam, and even cold foam. It is small and compact, making it easy to store when not in use.

6. Ceramic Coffee Mug

$40

Simply put, coffee in a ceramic mug stays hot longer, meaning you can take your time enjoying the taste for longer.  I love to use unique handmade ceramic mugs when possible. There is something about a unique meaningful mug which can brighten your day. Etsy is full of handmade options but I also like this one from the site Uncommon Goods (also makes a great Mother’s Day present)!

7. Coffee Bean Vacuum Storage Container

$40

Proper coffee bean storage can keep your beans fresher for longer. This Atmos coffee bean vacuum storage container is a unique container with a vacuum pump in the lid to remove air and reduce the risk of oxidation (when oxygen from the air can change the chemistry of your beans). This is especially useful if you don’t drink coffee every day or if you don’t have a large number of coffee drinkers in your family.

I know how hard it can be to find gifts for loved ones, especially at Christmas time when you have many to buy! Christmas gifts with a coffee theme can be especially useful for something that loves coffee, but can also be difficult to find just the right item that will wow them. I hope you found something unique and useful on this list that you can buy for a loved one this holiday season (or maybe yourself!)
