Let’s face it, we all love a good cup of joe. Coffee can give you the jolt you need on a morning where simply getting out of bed seems like an insurmountable task. A hot cup of coffee can give you comfort and warmth on a cold, rainy afternoon. It can be the perfect punctuation mark at the end of a delicious meal. And it can be the catalyst that brings you and your friends together for a catch up. But while we all enjoy coffee, there are some who are truly passionate about it. The kind of people who talk confidently about acidity and “notes of cinnamon and dark chocolate”. The kind of people who drink espresso… for fun! The kind of people who wrinkle their noses as flavored syrups and will happily wait for what seems like at least 4 hours for their barista to finish making their aeropress coffee.
Most of has a person like this in their family or friendship circle. You may have someone like this living with you under your roof. The good news is that their coffee snobbery is also a perfect gift-giving opportunity for you. It’s one area in which you can never go wrong. Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, or you just want to show how much you love them. Let’s take a look at some coffee gifts that any lover of the black stuff would be delighted to receive…

You’ll find that everyone from the big mega-franchises of the coffee world to independent artisanal roasteries sells some form of gift card.
Their very own espresso machine
