Coffee is everything to some people, myself included. There’s nothing like that little kick of flavor and caffeine in the morning to help you enjoy life, love, and even work. Therefore, this holiday season you might want to consider getting a coffee drinker you know a gift that’ll help him enjoy his habit.
Here are ten of the best gifts you can get for a coffee enthusiast.
1.Cuisinart Coffee Machine – There’s no better gift for the average coffee drinker. This is the crème de le crème of serious coffee machines, and with a built in coffee grinder and water filter, this is a great way to make mornings mean something for the coffee drinker in your life. It’s expensive, though; plan on from $50-100.
2.Braun Aromatic KSM2-B Coffee Grinder – If you don’t want to spring for a Cuisinart, you can still give the gift of freshly ground coffee with this great coffee grinder. It’s cheap enough to be affordable for anyone (about $20), and it’s got enough power to evenly grind the beans and make a great cup.
3.iGourmet.com Coffee Of The Month – Flavored coffees, Arabica blends, 100% full brews-if you have no idea what any of that means, you might want to play it safe and get your coffee lover a coffee of the month membership , which samples the best coffees around. It’s the gift that keeps helping you wake up every morning, and they won’t soon forget it.
4.Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee – Coffeefool.com claims that the average person has never had a real cup of coffee. Coffee, they say, has a very short lifespan, and 90% of the coffee sold in the United States is past its prime. Coffee Fool corrects this tragic error by offering fresh, aromatic coffees, the best of which being the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. It’s extremely expensive ($30 for 8 ounces), but exhilarating in a way no other coffee is. If you don’t want to spend that much on some beans, they’ve got less expensive coffees that are also great.
5.Custom Coffee Mug – Making a gift yourself can be a great way to add a little personality to a stock item. Giftmugs.com lets you design your own mug by sending in any graphic for them to print on a lightweight mug, and with a little bit of creativity you can make a memorable gift for a coffee lover.
6.Slim Line Briefcase Thermos Bottle by Thermos – This superb thermos will run you about $30. It’s made by Thermos, the company that practically invented well-insulated drink bottles. It’s also touted as unbreakable, and will provide enough coffee for most peoples’ days. This thermos is very compact, too, making it a great choice for coffee drinkers on the go.
7.VacuVin Vacuum Coffee Saver Storage Jar Set w Pump – if your coffee drinker prefers grounds, it’s essential to the flavor and aroma of the coffee to keep it out of the open air. A vacuum equipped coffee jar gets rid of the air and ensures that each cup of coffee’s as good as the first one out of the bag. This is a great gift for a coffee drinker, and not too bad at around $20.
8.William Bounds Cinnamon & Chocolate Mill Set – I like my coffee black. Not everybody does, though, and they love accentuating their coffee with other flavors, making the Cinnamon and Chocolate set from William Bounds all the better. It’s also great on cappuccino and espresso drinks, and the chocolate is calorie free, making this one coffee pleasure that doesn’t have to be guilty.
9.Urnex Clearly Coffee Liquid Coffee Pot Cleaner – Coffee pots need to be cleaned, or the water starts getting contaminated by the particles that get caught in it. This miracle fluid makes it a breeze, though; you simply put the liquid into the coffee machine and run it with some water a few times. In seconds, your gift-ee will be thanking you for this cheap and easy-to-find stocking stuffer.
10.Starbucks Whole Bean Coffees – Starbucks, the undisputed king of retail coffee, also makes some spectacular whole bean coffees that’ll brighten any day. Many coffee drinkers claim that Starbucks is the best thing on Earth; others think it’s a corporate devil. Hopefully, the person you’re buying for is of the former persuasion. If that’s the case, a bag or two of the good stuff should keep them satisfied; these are rich yet simple coffees that any coffee fan should be able to get behind.
