What Type of Coffee Gifts to Look for

There are so many choices when looking for presents for coffee lovers, but the perfect gift depends on what type of coffee lover you know. It can be daunting with all that choice, so start by having a read through the below and see if you recognise your loved one…

Cafe Coffee Lovers Gifts

Do they love a barista made coffee? Is a morning flat white a staple of their day? If so, gifts for coffee drinkers who love the cafe culture could be your answer. A stylish reusable cup or travel mug could be your answer, or even a small coffee machine with built in milk foamer for that perfect coffee shop cappuccino.

Experimental Coffee Lover

Is your loved one the adventurous type? Do they always go for the ‘special edition’ coffee of the day?

Buying any gift for an adventurous type can feel overwhelming, never mind a coffee related gift, but no worries, I’ve got you covered. Quirky coffee gifts or novel brewing methods will always be a hit with your experimental coffee lover.

Technical/Scientific Coffee Lover

We all know one, every cup has to have a precise measurement of coffee, brewed for the exact number of seconds and be stirred a specific number of times.

Finding gifts for coffee enthusiasts (or being more honest, gifts for coffee snobs…) can feel daunting. Even if you don’t know much about coffee, I’ve got ideas below on gifts for a coffee lover that even the biggest coffee snob will adore.

Coffee Culture and History Lover

As well as loving that warm hit of caffeine-y goodness, more and more people are becoming interested in the culture around coffee, and its history.

Coffee themed presents are more popular now than ever, from books to subscriptions to exotic flavours. I’ll take you through some of my favourite coffee presents below.

Best Gifts for Coffee Lovers – Coffee Beans

If you know someone who likes to experiment with different coffees, some new beans would make the perfect gift for coffee lovers Australia. Why not try out best coffee beans article for ideas..

Sons of Amazon Dark Roast

My favourite coffee, perfectly balanced with a creamy, smooth taste and a caffeinated kick. It’s expensive for a bag of beans, but I keep coming back. Will be a fan for life. – Max

Hailing from the Amazon, these coffee beans claim to be Australia’s strongest. Be warned then, these beans are not for coffee novices. The beans are ethically sourced, then roasted to the limit until they are 200% stronger than your regular jar of coffee with a high high high caffeine hit.

You’d think, for a coffee that strong, that there’d be bitterness, but the flavour is smooth, robust and chocolatey. Pour yourself a cup of this coffee and watch that beautiful crema form.

Grinders Organic Coffee

Grinders make gorgeous, award-winning coffee, and this blend is no different. Medium roasted to bring out the caramelisation, without losing the balance of flavour, this coffee is mellow and fruity with just a hint of chocolate. While medium roast gives a lovely flavour to everyday coffee, it might be a little too safe for an experimental coffee drinker, so keep this in mind.

The beans are fair trade and organic, so there’s the added bonus of knowing you’re getting an environmentally friendly cup of coffee every time you brew.

Byron Bay Coffee

Byron Bay Coffee Company believe the key to great coffee is in the roasting. Their process of finding the perfect roast profile consists of a lot of trial and error, but it results in a unique, well-balanced cup of coffee.

This organic blend is rich, creamy and delightful, although the same can’t be said of the packaging. It looks great, but isn’t the most robust I’ve ever seen.

Blacklist Coffee Roasters Pitch Blend

With a medium dark roast, this coffee is perfect for anyone looking to experiment a little more with their coffee. It’s not as rich or strong as a full dark roast, but is punchier than your regular medium.

It normally comes packaged as whole beans, meaning you’ll normally need a coffee grinder before you can brew it, but Blacklist will grind the beans before shipping them to you, which is a lovely (and helpful!) touch.

Coffee Gifts for Convenience

Know someone who loves a top quality cup of coffee but doesn’t have much time on their hands? These coffee accessories would make great gifts to save them time without compromising their morning brew.

Airtight Coffee Canister

This stylish, moisture proof, coffee canister is a great addition to any coffee lover’s kitchen. Coffee beans (whole or ground) can quickly dry out if left exposed, so this locks out oxygen, light and moisture to ensure fresh coffee for longer.

This model comes with a date wheel on top to keep track of your coffee’s expiry date, as well as a measuring spoon to make sure every cup is perfect. Keeping your coffee in this means no more daily bean grinding, saving precious time in the morning.

Insulated Coffee Glasses

It’s happened to all of us. We make a nice hot cup of coffee in the morning, then get distracted by family life, and boom… The coffee is cold. If this sounds familiar to you, or your loved one, then these coffee glasses could be the answer.

With a double layer of glass, they keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold (they even work for ice cream!). Bodum say there’s some kind of science behind it, but honestly the fact that they work, and look beautiful in your home, is enough for me.

Huskee Reusable Cup

A reusable cup is so useful for people with busy lives who don’t want to sacrifice their coffee. Add to this that most coffee shops nowadays give a discount to customers who bring their own cups and voila! The perfect gift.

I actually own a Huskee and I love it! They’re actually made from coffee husks, which are biodegradable and non-toxic, so very environmentally friendly (and pretty cool!).

I find this cup is lighter than most other reusable ones I’ve seen, and doesn’t compromise on insulation or style. It keeps your coffee hotter for longer, while still being cool to the touch. It comes in different sizes, so you can find the perfect one for your loved one.

Keep Cup

I love my many KeepCups! I have been buying Keep Cups since their early days and keep going back because they are fantastic. – Hannah S.

Full disclosure. I have lots of different reusable cups. What can I say, I love coffee! My Keep Cup is definitely one of my favourites. It’s lightweight, dishwasher safe and looks really stylish. It’s also great for those iced coffee lovers, as it holds cold drinks just as well as hot ones.

This cup is super super durable. I can’t even count how many times I’ve dropped mine and it’s never broken.

Knock Box

Simple and amazing. Wife held me back from the purchase initially but now we can’t live without it – a must if you have a decent home coffee machine. – Robert

If you’re not a coffee lover, you may not understand the benefits of a knock box, but trust me, they’re a game changer. Binning used coffee grounds is a waste of a great addition to garden compost, and a really messy job!

This stainless steel knock box is sturdy enough to do the job, and stylish enough to be left out on the counter. The inner vessel can be removed to easily get rid of the coffee grounds cleanly, and is also dishwasher safe, which is a big bonus!

Barista Essentials Kit

This kit makes a wonderful gift for anyone looking to take their home coffee to the next level. It comes with a milk jug for frothing milk, weighted tamper, temperature control and, most excitingly, pens to create the perfect latte art.

Made from stainless steel, it’s dishwasher safe and solidly made. It makes creating the perfect barista style coffee super convenient, and fun!

Coffee Makers and Machines

Looking for unique gifts for coffee lovers? There’s sure to be a new coffee maker or machine here that they haven’t tried. It doesn’t have to be a super expensive espresso machine either! You’ll even find some gifts for coffee lovers under $20 (like a manual pour over maker).

Bialetti Pour Over Coffee

A pour over coffee maker is probably the cheapest and easiest way to make fresh coffee at home without resorting to instant coffee. It works the way you’d expect from the name, you put the coffee in the filter, which sits on top of your mug. Pouring water over the coffee extracts the coffee flavours straight into your mug.

This Bialetti model is simple, yet attractive, and is a lovely gift for a coffee lover just starting to brew fresh coffee at home.

Vietnamese Coffee Maker Set

Vietnamese iced coffee, known as Ca Phe Sua Da, is on another level. This simple, reusable, set means you can make this Vietnamese treat at home. Made from just three elements, it is easy to use and easy to clean (you can even throw it in the dishwasher!).

Nothing extra is needed, no power cable or paper filters, meaning your loved one can just take it out of the box and brew. Perfect!

Asobu Pour Over Set

This coffee maker is just beautiful to look at. With a simple, yet classic shape, it will look good on anyone’s kitchen counter. This is another pour over coffee maker, but this one comes with an insulated travel cup. Perfect for those busy mornings.

The principle is the same as the Bialetti, you pour the water over the coffee grounds, and you’re left with fresh coffee in the cup. The Asobu, however, comes with its own mesh filter, so no paper filters are needed, and then there’s the cup, which will keep coffee warm for up to 12 hours as you go about your day.

Bodum Pour Coffee Maker

The best coffee I have ever tasted is made in this. You can keep coffee overnight if you don’t finish it and the filter acts like a lid. – Maylene

Another gorgeous looking coffee maker that will suit any kitchen. This pour over coffee maker comes with a glass carafe, cork band, and stainless steel mesh filter, meaning no waste paper filters. 

The slow brew (Bodum suggest 4 minutes) results in a carafe full of rich coffee, which makes about 3 cups. It can take a while to find your perfect measure of coffee grounds, but once you do, it’s worth all the hassle.

Hario V60 Bundle

This is a great gift for anyone new to pour over coffee. Including ceramic dripper, filters, glass server with lid, and measuring spoon, it’s the perfect starter kit for your coffee lover.

The glass pitcher isn’t really necessary if you’re only making one cup, as the dripper will fit directly over a mug, but it’s a thing of beauty, and useful if you’re making coffee for visitors. The glass lid fits snugly into the pitcher, keeping your coffee warm for the always-needed second and third cup.

Aeropress Espresso Maker

A handy little device. The taste is on par to the coffee I used to buy from shops, and I am very satisfied with this product. – Crystal

This clever little press makes rich, smooth coffee in under a minute. You put a filter in the press, add two scoops of ground coffee, pour in hot water, press the plunger down for 20 seconds, and there you have it… The fastest cup of fresh coffee you’ve ever experienced!

It’s so quick and easy that most coffee lovers will be sceptical about using it, but trust me, if you buy them one (and make sure they use it), there will be no regrets. No bitterness or acidity, just smooth coffee. Plus, it’s portable!

>>>Click here to check price on Amazon<<<

Breville Bambino Plus Machine

If you’re looking for a gift for a hardcore coffee lover, then look no further. This coffee maker has all the elements of a barista machine, but on a home kitchen scale.

The espresso extractor has a precise filtration system, to ensure full flavour and a velvety texture. The milk foamer is a real treat for anyone who can’t survive without their morning latte. It heats milk automatically, meaning an easier process for beginners. The foam is a lovely texture, but if a cappuccino is more up your street, then this probably won’t make enough for you.

Gifts for Serious Coffee Nerds

Some people are VERY particular about their coffee. The science and precision of the brewing is what really does it for them. These could be the best gifts for the coffee geek in your life. Don’t be intimidated when it comes to buying these serious coffee lovers a gift though. Here are some great gifts for coffee nerds that they’re sure to love!

Espresso Measuring Glass

If you’re thinking of buying a gift for someone who loves creating different coffees at home or is very particular about the layers in their latte, then this measuring glass is the perfect gift. It’s great if you’re looking for small gifts for coffee lovers.

This little glass comes with four measurements inked on the side, to ensure the perfect amount of espresso in every cup. It fits perfectly under most espresso spouts AND it’s dishwasher safe, I mean, what’s not to like?!

>>>Click here to check price on Amazon<<<

Precision Coffee Scales

I can hear you. You’re thinking that scales for weighing coffee sounds ridiculous. Well, I promise you, if you know someone who is super particular about their coffee, scales are one of the must have gadgets for coffee lovers.

Powered by AAA batteries and made of plastic, it is easy to use and wash afterwards. The large platform will hold a variety of sizes of brewers, meaning it’s likely to be compatible with what they already own. The only issue could be the lag with the display, but in a home environment, this isn’t a deal-breaker.

Electric Gooseneck Kettle

This quirky kettle is adorable, full stop. The thermometer on the outside, the gooseneck spout and the wooden accents mean this would be a gorgeous addition to any kitchen.

The gooseneck allows for greater control when pouring water, meaning your coffee lover will get precisely the amount of water they want in their coffee. It’s faster and safer than most stovetop kettles, with auto-off and anti-scalding handle.

Stovetop Gooseneck Kettle

This gorgeous kettle is perfect for serving drip coffee or immersion brews. As with the above, the gooseneck spout allows for controlled and precise pouring, and the industrial design means it looks great while pouring.

It’s handwash only, which can be a bit of a hassle, but I think it’s more than worth it.

Pod Coffee Machine Lovers

Show your loved one that their pod coffee machine can be more eco friendly with these great biodegradable and reusable coffee pod packs.

Biodegradable Coffee Pod Pack

Pod coffee machines are a wonderful thing. A barista style coffee in seconds, right when you need it most and without the expense of a coffee shop. The pods themselves, not so great. While many companies are now working to develop environmentally friendly pods, there’s still a long way to go. No need to completely throw out that machine though, there are options.

These coffee pods is biodegradable and compostable and are fully compatible with Nespresso machines. With plenty of roast grades and flavours available, they make the perfect fairtrade gift.

Pod & Parcel Bumper Pack

Another option for your loved one with a Nespresso machine, Pod & Parcel are on a mission to recreate quality cafe coffee in Australia’s homes.

Again, the pods are biodegradable and compostable, meaning they’re planet-friendly and guilt free. The speciality grade arabica coffee makes for a great tasting coffee that rivals your local coffee shop. Anyone with a pod machine would love this coffee gift set!

Gifts for On the Go Coffee Lovers

Smart Coffee Warmer

These make really unique gifts for coffee lovers. This mug warmer is perfect if your loved one is always forgetting about their coffee and then drinking it cold.

It works by gravity induction, meaning you simply pop your mug on it and away it goes, so you don’t even have to remember to turn it on or off. Perfect!

You do have to use a certain type of mug (thin-walled, flat bottom, weighing over 13oz), but this is hardly a dealbreaker, and swapping out your mug is a small price to pay for not having to drink a cold cup of coffee.

>>>Click here to check price on Amazon<<<

Reusable Drink Carrier

You’ll know by now that I am a huge advocate for reusable coffee cups. They’re great for the environment, and generally keep your coffee warmer for longer.

The problem is, if you buy more than two coffees, you have to use a coffee carrier, which aren’t reusable, and may not even be recyclable. All your eco-friendly hard work gone. Enter, the reusable drink carrier.

Designed to carry up to four reusable cups, it works with Australia’s most popular brands. The inner liner comes out for larger cups and pops right back in for smaller cups. Made from recycled plastic, this cup holder is sturdy, dishwasher safe and durable. And best of all, it’s made right here in Australia.
