The best gifts for coffee lovers, chosen by a barista

This pour-over is a compact coffee station in one, simple set. It's perfect for those transitioning from instant coffee to specialty brews and comes with a coffee canister, four filters, a filter holder, and a pour-over cup. It's brilliant for single-servings, but if they're a big home, they might need something more substantial.

The OXO is a specialist in the nation's favorite brew: filter coffee. It's simple, sleek, and chic, whilst also meeting the SCAs Golden Cup Standard for quality. We gave it full stars in our review: it can make a single portion or eight cups. All we could fault is the relatively short 'keep warm' function.

If you know they already have a complete coffee station, this is the next essential. The Picopresso is no bigger than a soda can, making it the perfect portable espresso machine. The coffee it brews rivals machines twenty times the size, although it can't texture milk.

Gifting a grinder to someone who doesn't already own one means gifting them a whole new world of coffee flavors. Whilst there are plenty of coffee grinders on the market (my favorite costs around $350), this is the best one for budgets.

Cozy, lazy Sundays aren't complete without a French press. There are plenty of options on the market, but this is one of my favorites (and one of the cheapest). Designed with Danish simplicity and durability, it's an easy gift to give someone who loves a coffee at the weekend.

This is a row of Bodum for a reason. All their coffee products are incredibly giftable; they're reasonably priced with a premium feel. This pour-over is packed with well-considered features, including a silicone sleeve and a useful pouring spout. It's one of the best pour-overs that I've tested.

Cold brew is this year's coffee trend and I love it. There are lots of bulky cold brewers, but this petite option is all you need. It can make enough concentrate to last a week and is faultless on flavors. It won't become clutter if you think they'll use it, but if you've never seen them drink an iced coffee, this might not be for them.

Coffee lovers will drink coffee on the go, so this is an easy gift to give. Crafted from coffee husks, this boasts incredible sustainable credentials as well as a super stylish aesthetic. It's nice to hold, easy to drink from, and my favorite travel cup of all time.

If you were after a small token rather than a grand gesture, this mug is not to be underrated. I use mine every day and it's wonderful. The stoneware is insulating and thick without feeling clunky and heavy. It also has enough capacity for a considerably large (12oz) cappuccino.

Hoffman is the authority on all things coffee. If your friend is interested in discovering the details behind coffee making, they need to read this. You'll start them on a lifelong love affair with Hoffman's books (there are plenty to get through).

Another little token, this coffee canister is perfect for storing beans, coffee grounds, or some petit fours in too. It's crafted by Le Creuset which is practically a guarantee for luxury, longevity, and a higher-than-average price tag. If you have the budget, I'd recommend buying a couple.

This is one of Oprah's favorite things this year. I hate to say I told you so, but I did. I've been in love with this kettle for years. The spout achieves a super precise pour, accurate temperatures, and it looks stunning on the countertop too. The Fellow is expensive for a gooseneck kettle, so only get one if they're passionate about pour-over.

A frothy coffee feels like the ultimate treat. It might take a little more time to make, but it's worth it. I love Smeg's milk frother, because it's beautiful and pretty perfect at texturing milk: hot or cold, oat or dairy. However, this is a real splurge, so only suits big budgets.

Coffee and chocolate are a match made in heaven. Not only are they both delicious, but if you pair chocolate and coffee flavor profiles, they can enhance each other's nuanced notes in infinite amounts. There's no need to guess, Bean Box have done it all for you in this lovely tasting box.

The scent of coffee is intoxicating. Nobody recreates it quite like La Montana's natural luxury candles. Inspired by traditional Spanish cafés, this is infused with coffee, brandy, black tobacco, and leather. It's deliciously comforting, rich, and reminiscent of old-fashioned cafés.
