Coffee lovers can be some of the easiest people to buy for, since almost anything that touches their routine gets used. Here are gift ideas across a range of budgets, not just what we happen to sell.
Under £15
- A bag of good single origin beans from a local roaster
- A pouch of flavoured sugar, like Dirty Vanilla or Midnight Mocha, for stirring into their usual cup
- A simple pour-over dripper if they do not already have one
- A milk frother, the small handheld kind, for anyone who drinks their coffee with milk
£15 to £30
- A proper travel mug that actually keeps drinks hot for hours, rather than a basic one
- A set of two or three flavoured sugars for someone who likes variety, such as The Full Set
- A subscription to a coffee roaster for a few months, which keeps giving after the gift itself is opened
- A decent burr grinder, entry level ones start to appear in this range and are a real upgrade from a blade grinder
£30 and above
- A stovetop moka pot, which brings a genuinely different coffee experience for not much money
- A quality pour-over kit with a proper gooseneck kettle
- An AeroPress, popular for its consistency and ease of travel
- A larger bundle of flavoured sugar 5 packs for someone who drinks a lot of coffee and would go through singles too fast
What to consider when picking
Think about how they actually take their coffee before buying equipment. Someone who drinks it black every day probably will not use a milk frother, but they might appreciate better beans or a flavoured sugar to change things up occasionally. Someone who already has strong opinions about their setup usually prefers consumables, beans, sugar, syrup, over new equipment they have not chosen themselves.
