Coffee makes the world go round for many of us. It starts our day and ends a good meal. For coffee lovers, the tools they use to make coffee and the coffees themselves are of great importance. Gifting a coffee lover is easy; the gear is great!

Treat Someone to a Peaberry

Calling coffee a bean is really a misnomer. It's actually a fruit that forms in two halves inside a paper husk. When the fruit forms as a single berry instead of two halves, it is called a peaberry. Peaberry coffee cherries are denser in their consistency and many believe they offer a more intense flavor.

Every coffee-growing region of the world is a little different. Hawaii is well known for coffee plantations, and the Kona peaberry variety is well-known for a hearty flavor with a fruity finish. If your coffee lover has the capacity and interest, order them a bag of green peaberries to roast on their own at home. Kona peaberry is sure to be a great gift.

For the On-the-Go Coffee Lover

A portable espresso maker can thrill any coffee lover. From those who love to camp to a busy student or working parent, being able to grab your espresso and go can really get the day off to a wonderful start.

Consider pairing this with a quality thermal mug that will fit easily in the cup holder of any car. Your recipient will appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity.

Wonderful Gift, Really Good Cause

There are many coffee farmers who don't get a fair share of their labors. With quality fair trade coffee and a pretty heat-activated coaster, you can extend the scent and flavor of your coffee and keep your cup warm.

The coaster can be heated in the microwave. The contents, including cinnamon, cloves, and coffee, will smell amazing. The exterior, made of handwoven fabric from Guatemala, will look wonderful. Finally, your freshly brewed fair trade coffee will brighten your day and make the world better for producers and artists around the world.

Cold Brew Gifts

If you've got a cold brew fiend among your loved ones, treat them to a bag of something delicious from the Tiny Footprint Coffee Company. Their products are rebuilding the Ecuadorian Rain Forest and creating happy cold brew drinkers around the world.

A cold brew bottle that contains a filter built right in would also be a great gift, and you might think about giving them two; one to drink from now and one to make the next batch. Cold brew coffee is mild, smooth, and delicious. Many who enjoy it like to keep it coming.

French Press

There are many methods of brewing coffee, and a French press can be used to make hot or cold brew coffee. If you're going to gift someone a French press, pair it with

a good thermos

a grinder or a good bag of coarse ground coffee

a teapot or hot pot

A French press requires the user to handle boiling water and a timer before they have had their first cup, so make sure that your recipient can at least manage this activity before turning them loose with your gift. French press coffee is hearty and delicious. A large press and a thermos is a wonderful way to gift this robust coffee choice so your recipient can share.

Pour Over

Pour-over coffee is made with a custom filter, medium-coarse ground coffee, hot water, and a good eye. While the Chemex pour-over carafe is most popular, many find that they have great luck with other tools. Additionally, Chemex, which was known for its glass pour-over carafes, now offers a thermal variety. This coffee is smooth and yummy, and a thermal carafe means there's no fuss or need to transfer to a thermos.

The trick to good pour-over coffee is to wet the filter prior to adding the beans. In your gift package, make sure to add an extra package of the filters and consider including a timer so your favorite coffee chemist gets their cup done exactly to their taste.

It's said that coffee is a magic potion made of roasted beans, and for many of us, this is exactly true! Find out what your favorite coffee fan loves best and build up their stock of beans, or treat them to a burr grinder.
