If you're looking for the best gifts for coffee lovers it can seem like a difficult task. Most of the biggest coffee fanatics already have all of the necessary bits of equipment, cups and beans they need, right? Well, mostly. Unless you have cash to splash you won't need to agonise about buying the coffee lover in your life an actual coffee machine – although we have included a few options just in case. Instead, let us suggest some alternative options in our best gifts for coffee lovers guide.
We all know a person (or possibly a few) for whom drinking a cup of Java is about more than just a morning pick-me-up. Those people who talk about coffee flavour profiles like they’re discussing a fine wine, and to whom the words ‘instant coffee’ are a mortal insult. There’s no need to feel daunted if you’re not quite on the same hyper-caffeinated wavelength, though. In the guide below we've included coffee subscription services, adorable espresso cups, options for coffee on-the-move and much more.
Whether it’s a bean grinder, a milk frother, or just a really good cafetière, there’s bound to be something here for your favourite coffee fanatic.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
