Espresso your love with these 12 wonderful gift ideas for the coffee lover in your life

For those who need a lot of coffee and quickly

Okay, you may have to stretch your budget a bit, but we love it Moccamaster KBGV Select. Not only does it look great on the kitchen countertop, but it also delivers delicious coffee very quickly – it only takes six minutes to brew. Moreover, it brews quite quietly. Make sure you invest in some paper filters.

If you want a more budget-friendly option, consider the Smeg drip filter coffee maker

For those who want to make espresso drinks at home

The Delonghi Stilosa espresso machine may be as back-to-the-basics as an espresso machine can get, but that's okay because it produces excellent shots of espresso. A milk frother is also included, so you can quickly turn a shot of French Roast into a latte. Of course, as an espresso machine, this means there's a bit of a learning curve. But that makes this the perfect entry-level machine for novice baristas.

If you're on a strict budget, consider being even more affordable Casabrews espresso machine

For those who have little time

This slightly larger version of the is easy to install and use Nespresso Vertuo Pop is the perfect coffee maker gift for anyone who wants great tasting coffee but just doesn't have the time. But make no mistake: this is more than a one-stop shop. It detects Nespresso Vertuo pods of different sizes and delivers up to four cup sizes. Plus, it comes in six colors, many of which are festive.

If you want to automatically add some milk to your one-time coffee, consider the DeLonghi Lattissima One

For those who want to take their coffee on the go

This cup from Kinto is perfect for travelers and people who like to drink coffee on the go. While being able to drink from any angle is unique, that's not the only thing that makes it special. It keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for six hours. And because it's made of stainless steel, it's not only BPA-free, but it won't impart unnatural flavors to your coffee.

If you want something a little more stylish, consider the KeepCup reusable coffee cup made of tempered glass

Coffee filters for the environmentally conscious

If you give your loved one a new drip coffee maker, be sure to provide him or her with coffee filters so he or she can make a cup of coffee right away. For that purpose we recommend the If You Care brand because they are unbleached and compostable. Not only does this weigh a little lighter on everyone's conscience, but there are also no harmful additives in the coffee itself.

If you like something a little more traditional, you can't go wrong Melitta #4 Bamboo coffee filters

For when you want the latte experience

Just because someone owns a drip coffee maker doesn't necessarily mean he or she can't taste lattes at home. Meet this milk frother from Maestri. Because it's hand-held, it's easy to use and easy to clean, leaving you with a decadent lather. And because it has a rechargeable battery, you don't have to worry about buying and throwing away single-use batteries.

If you want a milk frother that can also steam the milk, take a look at Instant Milk Frother

Tamping espresso in style

First, almost any appropriately sized tamper will do. However, sometimes you need a tool that inspires, like the Gladwise Espresso Tamper. The classic walnut wood and stainless steel materials give it a weight that is not only easy to use, but also makes you feel like you know what you are doing. Just make sure it fits your espresso machine, i.e. any model with a 54mm filter basket.

For creating the perfect consistency of coffee grounds

If you don't go the pod route, you'll need well-ground (and fresh) coffee. And not all coffee grinders are the same. Burr grinders like the Baratza Encore offer the kind of even results an espresso drink enthusiast needs, not to mention that it has 40 grind settings. And since the price is reasonable for this type of grinder, this is the perfect gift that won't hurt your wallet too much.

For a cheaper alternative, the OXO burr grinder is very popular

For those who like to see their own coffee creations

JoyJolt coffee mugs are oven or microwave safe up to 350°F and are dishwasher safe. But what makes this coffee so fun is the fact that the double-walled design allows you to see your own coffee creation, not to mention the fact that the drinks stay hot (or colder) longer while feeling cool to the touch.

If you want a better price, you can go to the 8 Oz. Sweese clear coffee mugs come in a set of four

Reduce pod waste

The CAPMESSO reusable vertuo pods have a number of advantages. First, you don't have to worry about creating a ton of extra waste from the single-serve pods for Nespresso Vertuo machines like the one above. In addition, you can use any fresh coffee you want with the pods.

If you want an alternative, consider stainless steel BRBHOM reusable Vertuo pods

Spice up the holidays with autumn and winter flavors

Giving a Nespresso machine is not enough. Your loved one needs good coffee with it. In the spirit of the holidays, be sure to add something festive, like this collection of 30 capsules, including Pumpkin Spice Cake, Peppermint Pinwheel, and Gingerbread flavors.

If you prefer more traditional options, check out the Nespresso medium and dark roast capsules

Keep that coffee warm until the last drop

Unless your loved one has a coffee thermos, those festive coffee drinks are going to be cold. That is, unless you also give them a coffee cup warmer like this one from VOBAGA. There are three temperature settings, an automatic shut-off and a long cord for easy placement.
