20 Best Gifts for Coffee Lovers: Sweet and Useful

If you know someone who swears by making their daily cup of coffee in a French press, then look no further. This press by Fellow is made from double-walled steel, so it keeps coffee hot for hours at a time. The plunger features a fine mesh strainer, so fewer grounds end up in the cup, and the all-direction pour lid means there’s no tricky lining up to do with the pour spout.

Mug warmers are the gift you could give everyone from grandpa to your significant other. Our team of testers tried out a bunch, and this model was given the top spot in our list of the best mug warmers. Thus, it takes the top spot in our list of best gifts for coffee lovers.

Our testers explain: “The hot plate operates with just one button, allowing you to toggle among three different heat settings, from 105 to 149 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s simple to use and gets the job done every time. After 4 hours of continued use, the auto-shut-off feature gets to work and the power button will flash red until the warmer cools down to 97 degrees Fahrenheit. Though a mug doesn’t come included, we like the freedom of using whatever mug we have clean at the moment.”

Never sip on a cold coffee again. Thanks to the Ember mug, your brew will stay warm to the last drop. The mug keeps whatever you’re drinking at the temperature you set in the Ember app, and it can stay on for about an hour and a half without needing to be charged.

Senior Commerce Editor Mike Epstein reviewed this mug and said: “At this point, the Ember’s a known quantity: The definitive ‘smart’ mug, it allows you to set and keep your hot drinks to a specific temperature,” he said. “It’s a classic combination of my two types of gift recommendations: The luxury item that your giftee wants but won’t buy and the lifestyle gift that solves a specific problem in their everyday life.”

Storing beans in their original bag is fine, but chances are they’ll keep a lot longer when they’re vacuum-sealed. This container keeps air out, so the beans won’t oxidize as quickly. There’s a valve on the top that lets out carbon dioxide so that it isn’t trapped in with the beans, either.
