Coffee Gift Ideas

1. Coffee Scoop with Bag Closer

With a sleek Finnish design of handcrafted pressed birch and a crisp white top layer, the recipient can measure their coffee and also keep it fresh using one tool. The slot in the handle of the scoop is the right width to use as a seal on the bag of coffee so it will last longer.

It will last for years to come as a handy coffee accessory with a little kindness and the occasional application of food grade wood oil to preserve the finish.

2. Cyclist’s Coffee Holder Attachment

Cycling and coffee seem to compliment each other and as their energy wanes, they can reach for their coffee mug or to-go cup with this fun attachment to their bike. It comes in four colors (red, lime green, white, and black) so you can match their gear with precision.

Unlike the angled water bottle holder, this one is made to attach to the handlebars so the coffee cup remains upright, secure, and within easy reach as they ride.

If you need coffee on the go, then these cool travel coffee mugs would make a great addition to your collection.

3. Blue Bottle Traveler’s Coffee Kit

Blue Bottle has paired up with the bag maker Timbuk2 to create two essential coffee kits for those who are traveling for short trips or indefinitely wandering. The ‘Weekender’ or the ‘Sabbatical’ kits contain, within a custom Timbuk2 leather and waxed canvas bag, all the tools needed to hand brew and sip delicious coffee.

Whether they are just taking a day trip or are on the road, give them the ability to make amazing coffee while traveling, wherever the road takes them.

4. 3D Latte Foam Art Maker

If they’ve caught the 3D latte art craze, but don’t have access to an espresso machine, this little device can create the type of textured milk needed to create these fun works of art.

With a little practice, they will be making 3D cats and bears with milk foam. Be sure to brush on some chocolate features to make them come to life. This foam-making device is a fun way to explore latte decorating right in their own kitchen.

5. Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Sugar

It can be hard to replicate the taste of their favorite latte or caffeinated concoction from the coffee shop at home, but this specialty sugar infused with real vanilla can’t hurt. They can sprinkle it over their latte foam or mix it in for fragrant and sweet vanilla flavor to make their coffee even better.

They might even find themselves bringing it with them to the coffee house to make their drink taste just right. It comes in a lovely glass tube with a cork stopper, which will brighten the kitchen counter nicely.

6. 24 Karat Gold Plated Reusable Coffee Filter

For those who already have a great home coffee brewing set-up that takes #4 cone filters, get them the Frieling/Cilio 24 karat gold plated reusable filter. This isn’t just a marketing ploy, it really is gold plated stainless steel, and the intention is to help reduce flavor intrusions from the brewing water, previous coffees, and the filter itself.

Gold is a non-reactive metal that will keep flavors of other coffees from contaminating the perfect brew, so they can enjoy unadulterated coffee the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

7. Vacuum Sealed Coffee Saver

This neat tool is great for the coffee enthusiast that is not able to finish a bag of coffee within the optimum freshness window, or for those looking to improve their coffee bean storage solution. Keeping air out prevents the coffee from losing its vigor, which makes for a better tasting brew.

This tinted container will also keep the damaging effects of light away as well. It holds up to 1.1 lbs of coffee, tea, cookies, or whatever else needs saving. It also includes a food pump, which helps break the vacuum seal, making it simple and effective.

8. Le Nez Du Cafe (The Scent of Coffee) Revelation Kit

If your coffee loving buddy wants to hone their skills in the art of scent identification for the purpose of coffee (or wine) tasting, this exhaustive 36 scent kit and identification booklet will help with finding the right descriptive word for the bouquet over time.

By sniffing the vials included in this kit and becoming familiar with the subtleties of different aromas, it opens the doors to a sharper sense of smell. This is very useful in the professional world of coffee tasting and cupping and is a sure hit for the serious sipper.

9. Cool Beans Coffee Ice Cube Tray

Iced coffee gets new meaning if they make the ice cubes out of coffee too! This fun silicone ice cube tray makes coffee bean shaped ice, which is a great addition to the iced coffee drinker’s gear. When you make the ice cubes out of coffee you can be sure it will stay undiluted as they sip their iced coffee beverage.

The tray is dishwasher safe and the silicone means easy removal of the cubes. Be sure to pick up two for the avid ice user, as each tray only makes 8 large cubes.

If you like cold coffee, you’ll love these coffee cold brew devices.

10. No Spill Centripetal Force Coffee Holder

For the inner geek, this coffee cup holder uses science so that users can carry a full mug without a lid and not spill it. The secret is the property of centripetal force which will keep the beverage in the cup when the user is walking or even performing tricks such as swinging it over their head in circles. This neat holder is meant to impress others with the ability to defy expectations and impress with the powers of physics.

11. Java Log Firelog
