Individual Items

For the finishing touch to their home coffee bar, get them one of these great coffee gifts.

If all they need is a coffee maker, give them a way to make a whole coffee shop’s worth of beverages without an espresso machine: the AeroPress Original coffee maker. The AeroPress Original makes a range of flavorful coffee drinks including regular coffee, iced coffee, and espresso style coffee for use in lattes and cappuccinos. (It even functions as a cold brew coffee maker, making cold brew style coffee in just two minutes.) It comes with its own coffee scoop and stirrer, so it has everything they’ll need to start brewing.

Another great option for hot water is the Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle. Whether they’re brewing with an AeroPress coffee maker or making pour-over coffee, they’ll thank you for the to-the-degree temperature control and the precise pouring offered by the gooseneck kettle spout. The included 1200-watt base heats water quickly, freeing up their stovetop. Plus, the built-in brew stopwatch helps them adjust their pouring to the second.

They’ll also need one of the best coffee grinders to make sure they’re dialing in their perfect morning cup. The Fellow Ode Brew Burr Grinder has a choice of professional-grade flat burrs and 31 grind settings for perfectly customized ground coffee. Plus, it’s a statement piece that looks beautiful on any countertop while remaining compact enough not to crowd the counter. Splurge on your favorite coffee lover with this state-of-the-art grinder.

The AeroPress Carafe allows for easy brewing and serving and is made of beautiful crystal-clear shatterproof Tritan(TM). The AeroPress Organizer Stand helps keep their their AeroPress Clear, Original or XL coffee maker and accessories together and at their fingertips. And the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap allows for complete control of their brewing, so they can brew a cup exactly to their liking.

Almost 99% of brewed coffee is made up of water, making good-tasting water a critical component of brewed coffee’s flavor. But water itself is often forgotten in the quest for the perfect cup of coffee. Third Wave Water offers various formulas with special mineral balances that are optimized for different styles of coffee. With formulas for espresso brewing, dark roasts and more, these water additives help precision brewers nail their perfect cup of coffee - all it takes is one pouch and some distilled water.

For the perfect stocking stuffer during the holidays, consider a coffee canister to keep their ground beans or whole beans fresh, or a milk frother for the perfect froth to top your favorite home barista’s coffee creations. A sampler of beans from their favorite coffee roasters (or even a coffee subscription to a coffee club) are a great option to pair with an AeroPress coffee maker.

Best Gifts for Outdoor Enthusiasts and Athletes

For the perfect on-the-go coffee grinder, the VSSL Java manual burr grinder will help them take a high-quality coffee experience anywhere they go. It’s incredibly durable and portable and can grind whole beans for a range of brewing methods from Bodum French press to coffee machines to pour-over. The signature lever has two functions: as a handle that can be clipped onto a backpack or duffel bag, and also as an extendable crank to help with easy rotation. Taking 60 seconds to grind 20 grams of coffee, it will help them make coffee quickly so they can get back to their adventures.

Best Gifts for Road Warriors and Leisure Travelers

Maybe your favorite coffee drinker spends more time in the car, train or New York subway than they do at home. Make sure your Road Warrior or Leisure Traveler has everything they need for a delicious cup of coffee anywhere around the world, whether they’re exploring the Italian Alps or relaxing in their favorite Airbnb.

The AeroPress Go travel coffee maker packs up neatly in its own mug for a compact and lightweight way to brew coffee in a hotel room, office kitchen, or anywhere that isn’t their home kitchen. They’ll brew and sip, then pack up and go to head back out on the road in no time.

Slim enough to fit in most car cup holders, it’s designed to amplify the sensory experience of drinking coffee while being durable enough to withstand travel. It includes a snap-in splash guard to keep coffee drinking neat even while they’re on the move.

The included internal dividers help keep items separate by default, but they can be removed for greater flexibility. The Traveller is lightweight, but it has a rigid spine that provides enhanced protection and structure. It’s also fully padded to protect their coffee setup.

For a great stocking stuffer, get them a set of durable reusable straws that will enhance their hot or cold coffee drinking - whether it’s a specialty cold brew or a Vietnamese coffee.
