The Best Gift Ideas for the Coffee Lover in Your Life

A true coffee lover will own a cupping spoon to best evaluate the coffee they're drinking. It's dorky, but it's fun. Just be careful if you buy this for someone you live with because you'll start to hear a lot of slurping.

Stojo's travel cup is there when you need your coffee on the go, and then out of the way when you're all buzzed up.

The Mug from East Fork will quickly become their favorite mug — and it's handmade in the US.

Yep, hot sauce for coffee exists. If they're someone who loves everything hot, both in temperature and flavor, Ojjo hot sauce is the perfect addition to their pantry thanks to notes of cocoa, vanilla, molasses and cinnamon, along with a significant kick.

Aeropress was considered the greatest travel coffee brewer of all time before the travel-sized version of it came out. Its latest Travel Brewer uses the exact same manual brew dynamics but comes in a tidier package.

James Hoffmann is a former World Barista Champion, roaster owner, coffee consultant and, most recently, a successful Youtuber. More importantly, he knows more about the past, present and future of coffee than most human beings, and his writing is clever enough to make reading fun.

So they don't need to necessarily be a coffee freak to reap the benefits of a coffee scrub, but a quality scrub leans on the natural exfoliating properties of sugar and coffee grounds along with the moisturizing and nourishing powers of natural oils.

A quality reusable cup is an essential tool for the daily coffee drinker. They can use it around the house, grab and go when they head to work or tote it along when they head downtown for a weekend brunch. Hitch's water bottle and coffee cup serves this function and more, allowing them to bring along water, too, ensuring they stay hydrated.

For those who want to boil water the old-fashioned way, Bonavita's iconic gooseneck kettle is the way to go. It has optimal water-pouring control, and it doesn't weigh itself down with extraneous bells and whistles (except the one that blasts when the water is boiling).

This weird little device is the fastest way to make hot coffee cold without watering it down. Freeze the insert, dump a pot in the carafe and drop the icey block inside. Ice cold in 90 seconds.

Few pour-over devices are as iconic as the Chemex, which is a permanent fixture in the Museum of Modern Art. Makes sense since the coffee that comes out of a Chemex can be quite a work of art, too.

Trade connects dozens of coffee roasters across the country with those craving yet another cup of joe. Give the caffeine addict in your life a few bags to keep them jittery until their next shipment comes.

Fellow’s little coffee canisters are simple to use and nice to look at. Dump beans in them, push the lid on and twist until you see a little green circle on the top. When twisting, you are literally sucking oxygen from the container, creating a space for beans to sit and not slowly stale.

Barataza's Encore grinder is, hands down, the best overall coffee grinder you can buy. Stop buying pre-ground coffee, and you'll realize how much you've been missing out on this whole time.

Watch competitive baristas at work (yes, they exist) and you will, without a shadow of a doubt, see a handful of Acaia’s scales. Beyond the basic timing and weighing duties, they record all sorts of historical brew data, allowing the user to recall what they made yesterday and identify why it was good (or bad). Get this for serious pour-over coffee enthusiasts.

Say good-bye to K-cup brewers because Oxo made a coffee machine that can do double duty: it makes a single-serving if you're drinking on your own, and you can toggle it to brew large batch brews for those long-haul work sessions.

No one likes lukewarm coffee. Ember mugs keep your coffee at your desired temperature for up to 80 minutes on a single charge. If you aren't going anywhere, you can keep the mug docked on its charger to keep your brew hot all day.

Do they travel often? If so, this compact hand grinder is the upgrade over crappy hotel coffee.

Simulating barista-style pour-over, it's a coffee maker any coffee nerd will appreciate.

For most, coffee is the first thing they think of in the morning. With this coffee alarm clock, it can literally be the first thing they see, as well. Set it up the night before and in the AM, a piping hot cup of joe will be sitting there waiting for them when the alarm goes off.

Get an espresso maker and it'll pay for itself. No reason to spend upwards of five bucks for a shot when you have Breville's Barista Express. It requires some more tinkering than entry-level models, but the espresso that comes out of it rivals what you might get from a cafe.
