Coffee drinkers are a diverse lot, and if you're going to buy a gift for one of them, you better have their branding down pat.
There's the quintessential café brooder, who might need a little pick-me-up. Or how about the peppy, workout-devoted early riser? They could probably stand to have a French press in their on-the-go life, and the do-it-yourself artisan might fancy a cold-brew kit for home.
The goal of your coffee gift is to make their mornings easier or more luxurious, but hopefully both. Whatever the temperament of your oh-so-temperamental coffee lover(s), you'll be sorted out with these 34 fun and useful gifts for coffee lovers.
Here are the 38 best coffee gifts:
Amazon
Brutrek Steel Toe 2.0 French press, available at Amazon, $33
There's spill-free and there's truly spill-free. We've tested many to our disappointment, but this one is a game-changer. It also comes with a brew-stopping plunger, so they won't have gritty or over-extracted brews.
The best espresso coffee grinderAmazon

Whether their preference is talcum-powder-fine Turkish coffee or coarse-as-can-be French press, nothing like a step-up coffee grinder will improve their at-home game.

A ceramic-lined, insulated bottleQue
Que Insulated Bottle, 17-ounce, available at Madewell, $32.95

A manual espresso makerOwen Burke/Insider
Flair Manual Espresso Maker, available at Amazon, $165
If you have a friend or family member that is constantly in search of the best espresso machine south of $500, this is the ticket. They'll still need a grinder, but they can foot that bill. The Flair is about the price of most espresso pod machines, but there's no arguing as to whether or not it makes real espresso: the crema it produces is priceless. That's why we named it the best manual espresso maker in our guide.
