Look, a gift card to a famous coffee shop might not disappoint.  But empowering your true coffee lovers to make their favorite drink at home could be a gift that keeps giving.  Of course we have some suggestions for the best home espresso makers- but we also have some more affordable drink making tools as well as suggestions for new beans to try. However, let’s start with mugs since they are one of my favorite gifts to give and receive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This kiln fired absolute unit of a mug will hold 24 oz of coffee, so your friend doesn\u2019t have to stand up 3 times to get coffee.  Also dishwasher safe, because ain\u2019t nobody got time for that otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The yeti: if they don\u2019t have one yet, it\u2019s because they haven\u2019t yet justified buying it for themselves.  Help save them from analysis paralysis, and get it for them. Minimalist design, but top notch engineering, materials AND construction.  Yes, you can put them in the dishwasher. Their coffee would probably stay hot the whole day in this thing, if they didn\u2019t drink it faster than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want the absolute bougiest, top of the line, \u201csmart\u201d temperature controlled mug- I would be loathe to keep the information from you. Don\u2019t worry, it comes in rose gold (do the other colors even matter? Cause they do exist.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Espresso Makers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want a good quality nespresso machine that won\u2019t absolutely break the bank, this one is your best bet.  The machine reads a barcode on each pod and automatically adjusts to it\u2019s optimal brew method.  It hits the mark for ease and convenience for sure. If you don’t prefer single use pods, there are some interesting reusable options to circumvent that issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good for a friend with an office job, OR your office job friend (if you work at the same place, you can probably borrow it sometimes so it\u2019s a win win. \ud83d\ude09 ) this instant espresso machine is PORTABLE my friends for all the office coffees, even CAMPING coffees.. I\u2019m sorry I may have jumped the shark with this gift!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

I\u2019m going to be honest, my personal favorite espresso maker is actually the stovetop kind.  Sure, it\u2019s no frills, and you have to watch so it doesn\u2019t burn.  There is something satisfying to the ritual though, and I don\u2019t think you will beat the price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Coffee\u2019s cafe barista does the shot and the steamed milk for you, making it the best choice for latte lovers.  Plus no pods necessary, which is always a pro in my book. That does mean it takes a little more time to load the ingredients, but then it does all the work for you and I’ve heard cleaning is actually a breeze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk Frothers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This frother doesn\u2019t require heated milk, thus making it ideal for cold drinks like iced macchiatos.  It is, unfortunately, hand operated which makes it less ideal for tech lovers, but is also affordable and harder to break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

https:\/\/amzn.to\/3gP2zGw<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

This is my favorite every day frother.  It has a protective case to ensure you don\u2019t damage the whisk end in travel, froths in seconds and comes in battery or usb rechargeable versions.  There are other colors but I prefer the stainless steel look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

https:\/\/amzn.to\/3inE57N<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hight tech, versatile milk frother comes with a proportional price tag- but it is worth it.  Cold froth, hot froth to a specified temp, steamed milk, or just a perfectly blended hot chocolate- it does it all with a touch of a button. Easily cleaned and even easier usability, this is a luxury your hot drink lovers will thank you for. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

New Beans and Lattes to Try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For us mere mortals who feel aged before our time, this patent-pending scientifically innovated star trek worthy coffee remineralizes your body rather than dosing you with caffeine high enough to threaten your life. In this case, danger coffee is a misnomer, thankfully.  It comes in at a bit higher price point, but keep in mind you are probably saving money when you brew at home anyway.  In fact, I am sipping a cup of their pre ground medium roast as we speak.  The flavor is definitely on the upper end of coffee (this is no F****rs sticks and twigs, folks) but the true star of the show is the quality of the caffeine high you get. It really is pleasant, folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of you who have drunk so much caffeine you can\u2019t feel it anymore, death wish coffee may be perfect for you. Don\u2019t say you weren\u2019t warned- it\u2019s literally in the name- this coffee has about 60 mg of caffeine\u2026 per fl oz.  For comparison, that\u2019s over 10x the caffeine in normal drip coffee! Include it in a gift basket for your die hard coffee lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bones coffee gets a special mention, because while my personal preference is a high quality, plain medium roast bean (I\u2019ll control the additional flavor ratios later) Bones coffee has some really interesting innovative flavors infused right into the bean.  Maple and bacon is my favorite so far, but if your coffee friend is looking to spice things up, macamaniac (macadamia flavored,) cinnabun, irish cream, or even mint chocolate chip ice cream flavored beans may delight. If you can\u2019t choose one, they have a fabulous variety pack. And yes, of course they have a pumpkin spice infused bean. It\u2019s called Jacked-o-Lantern.  These are also a good choice for people who want flavored coffee without a ton of added calories via flavored syrups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
