Timemore Go Cordless Grinder<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I saw this product and immediately fell in love with it. If you are a filter coffee lover looking to improve your brews like me, it offers the practicality of a portable hand grinder and the precision of an electric grinder. Plus, it is rechargeable via USB, the design is top-notch, and the price is also great. \u2014 Maria Jose Parra<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tornado Duo Brewer from Brewista<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I saw this brewer while on the showroom floor at Chicago CoffeeFest, and it truly was love at first sight. The way the glass swirls and the gold accents, it is the most beautiful brewer I\u2019ve seen in a long time. And it isn\u2019t just a pretty face! The double-walled glass means it retains water temperature when brewing and the ribbed swirling design on the inside helps each cup extract well and slowly. It is my go-to brewer these days. \u2014 Brit Alexandria<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee Subscriptions!<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When people ask me for coffee recommendations, I always tell them to pick what makes them happy\u2014and subscriptions work the same way. A coffee subscription is a lovely gift that keeps on giving, and you don’t have to scrounge through anyone’s “best roasters” list to find a subscription service: nearly every roaster offers subscriptions you can customize, so pick what you like! Pick a local roaster or a brand you’ve seen on Instagram! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, I love the weekly subscription from YES PLZ, who send you a bag of coffee a week (they tailor their offerings based on what they’re digging, which I adore\u2014I hate choosing), but I’ve also recommended subscriptions from brands like M\u00e1quina Coffee<\/strong><\/a>, Three Keys Coffee<\/strong><\/a>, and Vignette Coffee<\/strong><\/a> (what’s currently in my rotation). \u2014 Ashley Rodriguez<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1Zpresso Manual Grinder<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I’m a big fan of making coffee while traveling and camping, and I added the 1ZPresso Manual Grinder to my travel coffee kit this year. It’s super durable, portable, and reliable whether you’re making coffee by the campfire or in a hotel room. It’s become my daily driver at home too! \u2014 Anne Mercer<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sibarist Fast Flat Filters<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can never have too many coffee filters. Barcelona-based Sibarist offers a variety of filters made from a proprietary blend of organic paper fibers. The result is an unbelievably fast flow rate, so say goodbye to stalled brews and long drawdowns. The filters are designed to fit flat t to minimize bypass and have already become the go-to filter in the competition scene. \u2014 Michael Butterworth<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soul Chai Powder<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Great Chai is authentic and packs a nice, spicy punch\u2014if you agree, you need Soul Chai in your life. It is a spiced Chai powder that comes in both a caffeinated Masala Chai and a decaffeinated Rooibos option and can be made using a whisk or handheld milk frother. I love it because it comes without any added sugar, so I can add whatever sweetener I feel or go without. Each hand-packed tin offers around 40+ cups, so you get so much Chai packed into one beautiful blue and red package. \u2014 Brit Alexandria<\/em>

How to Taste Coffee by Jessica Easto<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There’s nothing classier than gifting a book, especially if it involves food and drink. Published in October 2023, “How to Taste Coffee” is a quilt of sensory science, practical activities, and coffee stories. It’s perfect for those friends who are interested in coffee but maybe not obsessed with it (yet). For bonus points, try some of the exercises together in person when you’re together for the holidays with your people. For triple bonus points, pair it with Coffee Project NY’s Around the World 12 Days Coffee Tasting Box,<\/a> quite possibly the coolest holiday sample pack I’ve ever seen. \u2014 Miranda Haney<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loveramics Brewers Jug <\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have always loved vessels designed with a scientific approach and thoughtful research. This is why the Loveramics specialty jug (and cups!) would be a great gift. They also have a very sophisticated, aesthetically appealing design, and you can play and experiment with your sensory skills with the different types of cups in their range (they make cups designed to enhance specific taste sensations like sweet<\/a>, nutty<\/a>, and floral<\/a>). \u2014 Maria Jose Parra<\/em>

Swiss Water Decaf Subscription<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The ‘death before decaf’ days are well over now that delicious decaf is easy to find and brew. Coffee’s true fans are here for the experience, caffeine or not. We’ve been drinking a lot of late-night decaf in our home, and there’s nothing like a guiltless midnight cappuccino.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Swiss Water subscription is a great way to explore the flavor possibilities of decaf with coffees from roasters around the country. Since most roasters only offer one decaf option, going the subscription route via Swiss Water is a great way to aggregate quality decafs into one ordering interface and simplify decaf discovery. \u2014 Garrett Oden<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellow Stagg Tasting Glasses<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a sucker for simple, classic mug and glassware designs. Fellow\u2019s Stagg Tasting Glasses look sleek, and the double-walled cup and flared lip design make it a tactile experience for all coffee drinkers. \u2014 Anne Mercer<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Belong: An Anthology of Colombian Women Coffee Farmers<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lucia Bawot beautifully documents the stories of 35 women coffee farmers in Colombia, sharing stories of family, loss, and responsibility tied to the coffee we consume. This book so moved me\u2014not only is Bawot a brilliant photographer, but the stories she shares prove the power of listening and asking questions. \u2014 Ashley Rodriguez<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jennings CJ-4000 Scale<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve used this scale for ages. It\u2019s an excellent starter scale for weighing out coffee and making pour overs. Even if I\u2019m just making coffee at home, it\u2019s easy to use and won\u2019t break the bank. \u2014 Lydia Stopler<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
