Searching the BEST gifts for your coffee lover friend/family member/coworker? We’ve compiled a list to help you choose the most helpful (and fun!) present that they’ll use time and again. While some of these gifts are for making coffee, others are for bringing coffee on-the-go or just drinking it at home.

A while back, y’all requested gift guides based on price point, as well as gift guides for specific people in your lives.
This week is all about coffee lover gifts.
Who is this gift guide for?
We all know someone who looooooooves coffee.
So this gift guide is for any and all coffee lovers in your lives.
This guide is not for a professional barista, but for someone who enjoys the process of brewing coffee and trying new things with their daily cup of Joe.
These coffee gifts are great for holidays, as well as birthday presents and more.
The Best Gifts for Coffee Lovers
We’ve got a little bit of something for any coffee lover in your life.
You can provide your person tools to help them make the best coffee at home, whether these gifts are in the form of coffee mugs (in different materials, too, like stainless steel and ceramic), coffee brewing equipment and more.
We’ve also got more specific equipment, like a cold brew system for a cold brew lover. And we’ve got coffee subscription boxes, too, in case you want to serve your coffee obsessed loved one an experience that includes unique coffee beans.
No matter what you’re looking for, we’ve got a little something here for you!
A little more about this gift guide:
My friend, Valorie, scoured the Internet to find the best coffee gifts (and coffee gift ideas!) out there.
She knows her stuff, y’all, since she’s an incredible friend AND barista… and she’s fielded lots of coffee-related questions from me over the years. Because I have lots of questions about everything. #surprise
A few years back, she and I teamed up for a #NationalCoffeeDay series, and we made several coffee-infused cocktails. Check out Guinness Cold Brew Coffee, The Siciliano, Grapefruit Vodka Coffee Cocktail and The Ginger Pomegranate Experiment were all part of this fun series!
All that’s to say that Valorie has written the ultimate guide of gifts for coffee lovers. Hooray!

Why? The locking mechanism and auto-seal technology means it really actually won’t spill or leak. The double walled cup means your coffee stays hot (or cold!) for hours. Really.
The Contigo mugs come in a really wide range of colors, and they fit really nicely in your hand, too. They’re also so easy to clean—just throw them in the wash.
Pair these with a gift card or a bag of coffee, and you’ve got a gift that your loved one will be thanking you for over and over again.
The thing is, a lot of coffee lovers won’t buy it for themselves because they’re intimidated by the glass! But it’s much sturdier than it looks. Just warn them not to put it on a hot stove or, you know, throw it at the wall, and the Chemex will last for years.
Don’t forget to get them the matching filters! And if you’re feeling really generous, a scale goes a long way to making a better cup of coffee.
The mugs are stoneware, so they are sturdy. They will always need to be hand washed, but that’s worth it for something so meaningful!
Trade has two amazing coffee subscription programs. Your recipient either receives a 12 oz. bag of single-origin specialty coffee once a month, or two 12 oz. bags of a blended coffee once a month.
These are both great deals and everyone can use either one or the other. After they’ve gotten their first bags, they can give Trade feedback so that they are receiving coffee that matches their tastebuds.
It’s a great craft project for kids, too, so spend some time helping your niece or nephew paint the mug for their parents. It’s a great way to pass time, and it makes you everyone’s friend.
The mug is safe to use in the microwave and dishwasher after they’re baked to lock in the color. Still, hand washing is recommended.
These mugs almost always have to be hand washed, but that’s okay—it’s worth the extra work.
There’s this one that turns a plain starry night into diagrammed constellations. Or if you want to give them something a little closer to earth, buy the mug that brings Bob Ross’s art to life when you pour the hot coffee in. Maybe best of all, you can personalize one of these to show a beloved photo when the mug heats up. What a sweet gift is that?
This coffee mug has its own built in heater to ensure that your coffee stays warm. And it’s not arbitrary—you hook up Ember to an app on your phone and set the exact temperature you want Ember to hold your coffee at.
It has an hour of battery life, so you can walk around the house with it, or you can leave it on the charging coaster so that it keeps your coffee warm indefinitely. If you’re wandering around with it, an indicator light will let you know when the battery is running low.
The Ember mug is made of stainless steel, but it has a ceramic exterior for looks (and to reduce scratching.)
This mug needs to be hand washed, and treated pretty gently in general. But what an exciting and convenient idea! This is a great gift for your friends that can nurse a mug for hours.
Many, if not most, commercial specialty coffee shops use the Toddy cold brew system. Your loved one probably doesn’t need to make 5 gallons of coffee at once, though, so this home brewer version will be enough for them.
The Toddy is designed to hold coffee and water in a filter inside the top plastic chamber for 12-24 hours. Then, drain it into the glass below. If you’re using the filters, the clean up is very easy!
