Gifts for coffee lovers

People who love coffee often care less about fancy machines than about small details: how fresh the beans are, how even the grind is, whether the water is the right temperature. A gift that improves one of those details is welcome.

Start by finding out how they make their coffee now. A pour over drinker, an espresso fan and a French press person need very different things. If you cannot find out, choose something that works with any method, like a good mug, a grinder or a bag of beans.

Be careful with coffee itself. Taste is personal, and a dark roast fan may not enjoy a light one. A sampler of small bags is safer than a large bag of something you picked blind.

  1. A burr coffee grinder

    Grinding just before brewing is one of the easiest ways to make coffee taste better. A burr grinder gives an even size.

  2. A gooseneck kettle

    The thin spout gives control over pouring, which matters most for pour over brewing.

  3. A pour over dripper

    A simple cone and some filters make a clean cup, and it takes up no room on the counter.

    Easy to use, easy to clean and good for making a big pot for guests.
