Stumptown Coffee Roasters Blend Trio

View on Stumptowncoffee.com

"I’ve tried a lot of coffee brands that I love, but there’s no brand I am more loyal to than Stumptown. It’s all in the brand’s signature taste. All of its blends, each different in their own right, have this sort of nutty, caramelized back note that I love. My personal favorites are the Hair Bender and Holler Mountain for their particularly dreamy notes of chocolate and caramel, which are both included in this set here. You can’t go wrong with it." — Kristin Montemarano, Food Commerce Writer

East Fork

View on Eastfork.com

Handmade in North Carolina, East Fork makes gorgeous ceramics for any occasion. Their 12-ounce mug is dishwasher- and microwave-safe and comes in eight gorgeous colorways. It is a favorite among Food & Wine staff, and you'll often find it it has a waitlist, so act fast.

“I didn't understand what all the hype was about until I finally got to try out one of East Fork's popular mugs about two years ago. Straight from the box, it became my go-to daily mug for coffee and tea. I had to get a couple more so my boyfriend wouldn't keep stealing my favorite mug!” — Danielle St. Pierre, Senior Commerce Editor

Cometeer Medium/Dark Box

View on Cometeer.com

Coffee enthusiasts may roll their eyes at the thought of instant coffee. But the Cometeer Coffee Box will almost certainly prove them wrong. Using liquid nitrogen to flash-freeze coffee at minus 321°F, these flavor-packed pods — a collaboration between well-known coffee roasters, including Counter Culture Coffee and Joe Coffee — preserve as much flavor as you'd expect of any cup of coffee, instant or not.

The best part is it takes all the effort out of brewing your favorite cup. Add the frozen puck to your mug with 6 to 8 ounces of water (either hot or iced) and stir. The coffee is made without preservatives but still has an 18-month freezer life.

Tip Top Cocktails Espresso Martini

View on Tiptopcocktails.com

The drinking experience is similar to drinking out of a regular coffee cup. The lid screws off, and there's no plastic cutout for your mouth to find. And get this: You can even brew a pour-over directly into the mug's wide mouth.

Blue Bottle Coffee x Kinto Coffee and a Cookie Set

$33 at Bluebottlecoffee.com

For those who like to enjoy a little treat with their morning or afternoon cup, the Blue Bottle Coffee x Kinto — Cafe Cup & Cookie Plate is a gorgeous, useful cup and saucer duo.

The De'Longhi Espresso Maker can turn any kitchen into a full coffee bar. An editor-tested favorite, this machine can brew espresso pods and ground beans. The rapid cappuccino system regulates the temperature and can brew multiple cups quickly. And while espresso machines can often come at much steeper price points, this is a solid option for a quality machine that isn't the splurgiest of purchases.

Ember Mug 2

Orig. $130 $100 at Amazon $103 at Target View on Nordstrom

If you know someone who takes so long to finish a cup of coffee that it's lukewarm or even cold by the last sip, you'll change their life with the tech-forward Ember Smart Mug 2. It was among our favorite mug warmers we tested. This modern-looking mug keeps your favorite drink hot by allowing you to set and maintain your preferred temperature via your smartphone. The charging coaster provides an hour and a half of battery life, and the cup is safe to hand-wash (and can be submerged up to one meter deep).

Breville Milk Cafe Frother

$160 at Amazon $160 at Williams-Sonoma $160 at Wayfair

For latte and cappuccino fans, the Breville Milk Cafe is a must. This device makes frothing milk easier than ever: Choose the appropriate frothing disc, add milk, select your temperature, and hit start. "This tabletop milk steamer blew me away, and I'm a pretentious coffee lover with 13 years in the business," says Jashinski. "The texture is nearly perfect, and you can choose between a latte or cappuccino attachment, depending on your desired level of foam. Not only can you set the exact temperature you want, but there is also a setting for cold foam." If you'd like to gift a Nespresso option along with a machine, we also like this one.

$164 at Amazon $165 at Williams-Sonoma $165 at Sur La Table

For pour-over or tea drinkers, there is no better upgrade than an electric kettle that can be controlled down to a degree. And, quickly. When we tested the best electric kettles, we loved the Fellow Gooseneck Kettle for its precision, accuracy, and modern good looks.

“I got the Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle as a gift, and if I knew how much it would upgrade my pour-over routine, I would have bought it for myself sooner. It heats water way faster than my stove, and the gooseneck spout is great for pouring slowly and precisely while I’m still waking up in the morning. Plus, I love how it looks on the counter.” — Mary Claire Lagroue, Associate Commerce Editor

Cuisinart Programmable Coffee Maker

Orig. $100 $75 at Amazon $100 at Target $100 at Williams-Sonoma

These glasses from the popular coffee brand De-Longhi (and a favorite among our editors) offer a classic and functional design that gives the illusion of floating liquid. Made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass, the double-walled construction ensures the glasses are cool to the touch while maintaining the internal drink’s temperature.

From espresso to American style, this quick and seamless coffee device makes brewing java an effortless task. "Far and away the best bang for your buck when it comes to home brewing," says coffee veteran Noah Jashinski, who has worked with Intelligentsia and Blue Bottle. "I have used this at home, in hotel rooms, traveling in Europe, and camping, using boiling water in a pot on an open flame. At a price lower than 99% of brew gadgets, it's hard to argue not buying one."

For more detailed testing insights (plus why we think it's one of the best coffee gifts out there), see our full AeroPress review.

MiiR Pourigami Pour-Over Coffee Maker

$30 at Amazon $30 at Miir.com

The Miir Pouragami is a pour-over that offers function without sacrificing flavor, scoring a spot as our favorite travel option during our pour-over test. Three walls fit into each other while resting on top of a mug, producing a balanced cup of coffee. We loved its convenient collapsible design that fits neatly inside a small travel pack. That said, if the person on your list isn’t a camper but is simply low on storage space, this is also a great gift option.

Nespresso Mini Espresso Machine

$179 at Amazon $180 at Target $180 at Williams-Sonoma

Anyone who appreciates a rich espresso shot needs a Nespresso machine at home. As a gift, the Essenza Mini is an ideal pick — it's compact, reliable, and not nearly as expensive as other Nespresso machines, yet it still offers the same great taste and experience one would expect from the brand. If you're looking to gift something more splurge-worthy, we recommend the Nespresso Creatista Pro Espresso Machine or the Nespresso Gran Latissima Original.

Acacia Pearl Scale

View on Bluebottlecoffee.com View on Seattlecoffeegear.com

Of all of the best pieces of coffee gear, one of the coolest gifts for anyone who wants to upgrade their coffee game is a coffee scale, says Miami chefs Alex Meyer and Luciana Giangrandi of the Michelin-starred Boia De. The Acaia Pearl Scale is equal parts functional and sleek, monitoring the weight and time as you brew coffee. Plus, Bluetooth connectivity allows users to sync the timer with their smartphone. "Whether you're doing espresso, pour-over, moka pot, AeroPress, or French press, a scale will improve your consistency and quality."

Compact and easy to use, the Moss & Stone is a great gift for anyone short on time or kitchen space — or both! Add water, then coffee grounds, and start brewing.

Golde Superwhisk

$25 at Golde.co

If their kitchen countertop isn't blessed with an espresso machine that does the frothing for them, a handheld frother can achieve the same effect. We like this travel-friendly one from Golde.

"This compact electric whisk is mightier than it appears; it froths milk with gusto for creamy lattes without the bulk of a large espresso machine. Plus, it recharges with a simple USB cord.” — Lucy Simon, Editorial Assistant

Torani Coffee Syrup Variety Pack

For the person who already has an espresso machine and always orders the creative offerings at their local coffee shop, bring the barista experience home to them. Torani's syrups are a classic for a reason, and they come in large enough containers to last a long time.

“When my husband and I got an espresso machine, we decided to go all out and purchase these syrups to make our drinks taste like our favorite coffee shop orders. I usually make iced coffees, so I add half a pump of one of the syrups to my glass of ice and then pour in the shot of espresso and almond milk. I always sip using my reusable straws!” — Bridget Degnan, Associate Editor

YETI Rambler 20 oz Tumbler

$35 at Amazon $31 at REI View on Yeti.com

Jot Ultra Coffee

$20 at Amazon View on Jot.co

CB2 Marie Coupe Cocktail Glasses

$29 at CB2

While we love espresso martinis, they're best enjoyed when served in the proper cocktail glassware. These classically shaped coupes come in a set of six and are perfect for that post-dinner (or, pre!) cocktail. Of course, these glasses will serve multiple purposes and last for years to come, so be sure to gift them to the coffee and cocktail lovers in your life.

Mr. Coffee Iced Coffee Maker

Orig. $40 $26 at Amazon $40 at Target Orig. $80 $50 at Jcpenney.com

Another helpful coffee gift for the person who spends too much at coffee shops, the Mr. Coffee Iced Coffee Maker turns water and coffee grounds into the same great-tasting iced coffee you know and love from your go-to coffee shop. And if you're pressed for time, rest easy knowing that all you have to do is add water to the base of the coffee maker, use the scoop to measure and add your grounds, put ice in the tumbler, and press start. Seriously: It's so easy that you'll have no excuse to spend $7 on iced coffee every day.
