We all know someone who can’t function until they’ve gulped their morning coffee or someone who treats their daily brew like it’s a performance art-piece (and we love them for it!). In honour of Coffee Month, we’ve rounded up a list of thoughtful coffee gifts that go way beyond a gift card. From sleek gadgets to stylish essentials, these picks will help elevate their daily ritual — and maybe even complement their favourite artisan beans (because let’s be real, they definitely have some).
Barista-level coffee anywhere
Th AeroPress Original Coffee Press is an all-in-one French press and espresso-style manual brewer. It’s always a hit with coffee nerds thanks to how fuss-free it makes the process of brewing pour-over coffee. It’s portable, fast and also forgiving when you’re in a rush. A fantastic gift for travellers and even coffee-lovers who have a compact kitchen.
For the slow brew ritualist
Drip coffee makers are one of the best ways to brew your own coffee at home. The Lotus Drip Coffee Maker is a luxe gift (or investment) that doesn’t take up too much counter-space and can help you wake up to the perfect cup of coffee. It has an intuitive display and hassle-free operation that simplifies the process and can brew up to 10 cups at a time. A huge plus is the 5 brew strength settings to help customise the coffee the way you like it. Enjoy a fresh cup—or 10, anytime!
Never lukewarm again
When your cup of coffee is sacred, enjoying it at the perfect temperature is as important as the beans and the grind. Ember mugs (or even Ember cups) make for a super thoughtful gift that will help retain the temperature of your beverage for up to 90 minutes or even a full day with the charging coaster. It’s portable, app-controlled to help set your desired temperature ranges and adjust for different beverages, and even has a smart LED light to let you know when your drink is at that perfect temp. A gift you definitely can’t go wrong with for every type of coffee drinker!
Fresh grounds, fresher flavour
An affordable coffee gift that’s also super useful, this KitchenAid Blade electric grinder has a 160-watt motor for freshly ground beans at a touch of your finger. It’s heavy-duty, has dishwasher-safe parts and will grind your favourite beans to the consistency you prefer, minus the noise.
Retro looks, modern perks
Smeg always has the best-looking gadgets and this retro-style drip maker is no different. It features a stainless steel filter, sleek glass carafe, and an auto shut-off function so you never have to wonder if you’ve left the coffee pot on. Plus, it comes in so many cool colours to choose from!
Precision in every pour
A goose-neck kettle is perfect for preparing pour-over coffee, combine that with temperature control and you’ll have a very happy coffee lover. The matte black finish and compact design will look great sitting on any kitchen counter.
Hot or iced, always just right
Multi-tasking gifts are always welcome, which is why this Keurig coffee maker is great because it can brew a refreshing hot or iced coffee at home. The Brew Over Ice function delivers coffee that starts hot to extract the maximum flavour, then cools down to reduce ice melt, minimizing that watered-down taste.
Whether they’re a casual sipper or a full-blown coffee connoisseur , these picks are sure to speak their love language and make their mornings more brew-tiful!
