Okay, friends. This was the EASIEST gift guide to make. And the weird thing is, I don't even drink coffee! My husband, however.... that's a whole other story. Just going through these things (and a few that didn't make the list), I realized how much money he has invested into coffee over the years. YIKES. I mean, we all have our things, don't we? Anyways, these are [almost] all of his top picks, so you know they've got to be good! Let's get started!
1) Yeti
Keeps your coffee hot for hours and hours and hours and hours.
2) Local Coffee
I didn't know this for the longest time (because I'm no coffee drinker), but you always want to make sure to purchase the beans as close to the date given as possible (shelf life is only supposed to be a few weeks), and get them whole bean. Supporting local is always great, and local roasters are usually a lot more intricate with flavors and more fresh than what you may get at the store. I linked Dev's favorite!
V60 is the standard device for specialty coffee. It's V-shaped at angles of 60 degrees. It takes only 3 minutes, and the cone shape and ridges bring out coffee flavors that you wouldn't otherwise get. They come in ceramic, glass, plastic, and metal -ceramic being a solid option. Make sure to buy filters along with this gift so it can be ready to use right away!
4) Scale
Any sort of food scale will help your coffee lover end up with a more precise and consistent flavors/brewing process -used for measuring water and grounds.
Easy for travel, you can adjust the size of the grind, and the ceramic burr in a manual grinder helps each ground to be more consistent and predictable. This one has 4.5 stars, with over 6,800 reviews!
Generally easy to use, and you can't beat the packability. Solid pour over vessel, easy to clean, and the top notch gift that your coffee lover likely will not have yet. They got started through KickStarter a while back... cool to support a growing company!
7) Chemex
This classic pour over coffee vessel is great if your coffee lover enjoys entertaining. Again, make sure to buy filters along with this gift so it can be ready to use right away!
This is an awesome, affordable, and great value way to make coffee. This way of making coffee gets pretty close to the quality of espresso without having to use a machine that costs hundreds. It's made of plastic, so this is also great for travel!
True coffee enthusiasts are always interested in trying the best cup they can get their hands on. This will give them that chance, shipped right to their door! Totally customizable to your budget and their coffee drinking habits, you truly can't go wrong.
This brewing machine helps produce an ultra smooth, creamy, iced coffee at home. Especially great in the summer time, it is usually only accessible at coffee shops... until now!
Good espresso machines can cost hundreds, if not thousands, not to mention the upkeep and maintenance for all the tubes and parts. This simple solution has no electronics, and gets your coffee lover that beloved espresso shot without even leaving the house.
Honestly, this one doesn't make sense to me. But I quote Devin... "Arguably the best home grinder you can get." It is a ceramic burr grinder, which consistently grinds whatever size you want, it's simple to change size, and it's super easy to use. I don't understand why it's so expensive... but I'll take his word for it!
Well, I hope that oddly specific gift guide was helpful for you! I definitely learned a lot going through it. I wish I liked coffee, but I'm probably better off not being addicted to another caffeinated beverage. I'll stick with my Dr. Pepper and Chai Lattes for now. Be on the look out for more Christmas fun on the blog soon! Can't wait to share with you!
