Do you know anyone who is serious about their morning brew? Whether you are shopping for yourself or the coffee lover in your life, these coffee related gift ideas from Amazon will be well received.
Purchasing items from links in this post may potentially reward me with a small commission. I only recommend high quality products that I am actually familiar with in my posts.
A Gift List for Coffee Lovers
The basic idea I had in mind when creating this gift list is to list things that I would be happy to receive myself. In fact, I have received many of these items as gifts! These gifts are perfect for Christmas, birthdays, or any other occasion.
These gifts range from $20 up to around $150 and include mugs, coffee makers, coffee, and coffee accessories. Hopefully you’ll find these ideas helpful when shopping for the coffee lover in your life. Feel free to leave feedback if there is some way you think I can improve this list.

1. Yeti Rambler 12 oz Cafe Cup
I should first mention that I am a huge fan of Yeti products because of their easy to clean, no-nonsense design and the extreme durability. They come in a variety of different styles and colors.
The Yeti Rambler 12 oz Cafe Cup is one of the newest offerings from Yeti for the person who needs a spill proof option that will also fit in most cupholders.
This style is the same as the bottle series with a shorter height and a new cafe lid. I find that 12 oz is the perfect size for a decent cup of coffee.
2. Yeti 14 oz Vacuum Insulated Mug
The Yeti 14 Ounce Vacuum Insulated Mug is a fantastic way to keep your coffee super hot for hours while offering the traditional feel of a mug. This mug works best for those who like larger drinks (10-14 ounces) but feels awesome to hold and to use around the house. This mug is available in multiple colors and uses the same lid as the Yeti 30 ounce tumblers.
3. Yeti 20 oz Vacuum Insulated Tumbler
The Yeti 20 oz Stainless Steel Tumbler is one of the best insulated tumblers on the market. This tumbler uses a simple design for both the lid and the tumbler itself, keeping it easy to use and clean. The Yeti tumblers are available in a variety of colors.
The stainless steel is much thicker than most tumblers, and you won’t need to throw it away after dropping it. Many other brands of tumblers have little flaws that make them a pain to use after a while, but the Yeti will remain a dependable option to keep your drinks hot or cold for years.

4. Coffee Bean Variety Pack
Bean Box is a subscription service to high quality batch roasted coffee. Using freshly roasted beans substantially improves the taste of your home-brewed coffee compared to the store-bought alternatives.
The Bean Box Gourmet Coffee Sampler is a sampling of what Bean Box has to offer. If you don’t (roast your own coffee) like me, this is your next best option in terms of convenience.

5. Aerobie AeroPress
The AeroPress Single Serve Coffeemaker is a great gift for any coffee lover who doesn’t already own one. It’s a brewing method for everyone because it makes a variety of drinks and is very forgiving to mistakes in the brewing process.
The AeroPress can make regular coffee based drinks as well as concentrated coffee (similar to espresso) for lattes and Americanos. This awesome device deserves a spot in anyone’s coffee collection.

6. Bodum Colombia French press
The Bodum Columbia Thermal French Press is a stainless steel, vacuum insulated french press that uses an upgraded plunger design over other french presses. This coffeemaker helps to perfect the french press concept by maintaining the water temperature throughout the brewing process. Many folks have a french press, but they likely don’t have a really nice one like this.
Additionally, this french press is much more travel friendly than most others (since they are usually made of glass) and makes a fine gift for anyone who enjoys bold coffee. I actually received my Bodum Columbia french press as a gift and I have enjoyed it for the past several years. You can see other french press options in my guide below if you wish to go this direction.

7. KitchenAid Electric Kettle
This KitchenAid Electric Kettle is a simple, no-nonsense kettle that looks beautiful in your kitchen. This particular model has 1500 watts of power and heats water much more quickly compared to many of the other options out there.
Kettles are very useful to have in your kitchen for both tea and coffee brewing. If you wish to use a manual coffee method such as the AeroPress or french press, you will need a kettle to heat the water for brewing.
8. Baratza Encore Grinder
Aside from the coffee itself, the quality and consistency of your grinding has the greatest impact on the flavor of your coffee. The Baratza Encore Burr Grinder is widely considered to be one of the best entry-level options for grinding coffee.
If someone you know still uses a blade grinder or perhaps they don’t grind their beans at all, this gift would basically change their life.

9. The Breville Milk Cafe Electric Milk Frother
If you know someone who enjoys lattes, cappuccinos, or even hot chocolate, the Breville Milk Café would be well received. The Breville Milk Café is an automated milk steamer and frother with a precise temperature control. It comes with a steaming disk for heating the milk with a small amount of foam, and a frothing disc which heats the milk with a substantial amount of foam.
There are many milk frothers out there, but the Breville Milk Café is the best and most beautiful one by a long shot. Most others are not dishwasher safe and heat very small amounts of milk (despite their large size). The Milk Cafe pitcher holds enough milk to make 3 people a decent size latte, and can easily go in your dishwasher. Breville has thought of every convenience with this appliance, and I feel it is worth every penny.

10. Nespresso Essenza Mini by Breville
The Nespresso Essenza Mini Original Espresso Machine by Breville is for espresso lovers who don’t want the fuss and expense of dealing with traditional espresso machines. The Nespresso machine is a pod-based system that is incredibly simple to operate. The pods feature high quality espresso-ground coffee in a variety of roast levels and regional flavors. Although there are many types of Nespresso machines, the Essenza Mini by Breville is one of the most price competitive options and comes with a small sampling of pods to get you started.
Espresso from this machine is rich and syrupy as it if came from an authentic machine. This is due to the Nespresso being equipped with a real pump. Since the pods contain ground coffee, this is a one-stop solution to high quality coffee. Pair it with a nice milk frother (such as the Breville Milk Café) and save someone the expense of five dollar lattes for years.

Other Possibilities
Are you looking to get more creative in your gift giving? I have some other ideas that you may find helpful.
If you want look into a new coffee maker or brewing method, I have written a helpful comparison post which details several different ways to brew coffee and recommends my favorite products for each category.
For folks who are very serious about their coffee, my all time favorite gift idea is to get them started roasting coffee at home. This could include a home coffee roaster, green coffee beans, and a book on roasting coffee. Someone did this for me a few years back, and I’m quite glad to be still enjoying this hobby. You can investigate this idea more in my post about coffee roasters for beginners.
If you know someone who would benefit from this list, please send it to them!
Happy Brewing!
