44 Best Gifts for Coffee Lovers
For some, a cup of coffee is a morning routine or a once-in-a-while treat. For others, it's a lifestyle. When shopping for gifts for coffee lovers, think beyond cutesy “But First, Coffee” mugs and instead to what tools and other stylish items will make their brewing routines easier, more fun, or entirely new. Sipping a cup of coffee is a multi-sensory experience for many coffee devotees, so a java-y gift that can make such worship all the more special will surely be appreciated.
Below, we’ve curated a bevy of the best gifts for coffee lovers in your life. From multi-use coffee clips to at-home nitro cold-brew kegs to coffee subscriptions (like the SELF Fave Trade and Atlas Coffee Club), accessories, gadgets, and services that further enhance the coffee-drinking experience are key in this list, as well as items to make brewing more sustainable. You'll find excellent gift ideas (many of which are available on Amazon) from well-known brands like Aeropress, Fellow, Takeya, and De'Longhi. (We’ve saved the countless array of coffee machines and makers for a separate, expert guide.)
Just a reminder: If you're doing your holiday shopping, don’t percolate too long, as shipping companies are already warning of big pre-holiday slowdowns.
