Christmas gift ideas for coffee lovers
Coffee is bae, am I right? Honestly, I’m not sure I would have gone through college, university, and 2 kids without my daily dose of caffeine. Christmas is approaching fast, and you might be looking for gift ideas for the coffee lovers in your life, without simply giving them another silly coffee mug (not that there’s anything wrong with it). So, I came up with a list of coffee-related gifts to hit the mark on Christmas.

Coffee Subscriptions
Many companies offer coffee delivery subscriptions so that you can have the best cuppa joe right at home, instead of driving to Starbucks 4 times a week.
Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters
Based in Calgary, Alberta, this Canadian company prides itself on the fact that their coffee is 100% direct trade. Their goal is to be the local place where you go get your coffee. Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters offers a coffee subscription service where you can build your coffee subscription, and the shipping is free in Canada and the USA.
You can save 50% on the first month of subscription with the code SAVE50. Build the subscription box for you or for a loved one right here.
I obviously had to try their coffee, and I was so sad when I finished my bag. So, trust me when I say that their coffee is amazing. I also got myself a bag of Espresso coffee beans, but forgot that I don’t have an espresso coffee machine anymore… I guess I’ll try it someday!!!
Coffee beans
Coffee lovers will tell you that a cup of coffee made from freshly-grounded beans is the best. I swear, there is a difference! It tastes like heaven. While I still always have a pot of Folgers in my pantry, I love trying different brands of coffee beans to support smaller businesses.
Koa Coffee
I discovered Koa Coffee very recently and I am so excited to try their coffee. Called “Best in America” by Forbes, Koa Coffee is made from Kona coffee harvested by hand in Hawaii, on the Mauna Loa volcano. How badass is that?
You can order different bags of coffee beans or get a coffee subscription order here. Due to the pandemic and the increase in online shopping, make sure to order sooner than later to have your presents on time for Christmas!
Coffee machines
Having a coffee machine makes all the difference when it comes to saving on trips to Tim Hortons or Starbucks, plus you save the planet by using a coffee mug. It’s a win-win!
The best coffee machine option really depends on the person. I will always have a regular 12-cup coffee maker for my daily morning routine, but I sure miss having an espresso machine. A French Press is also a must for a lot of coffee lovers. Here are a few options for you:
1st in coffee
1st in coffee is a coffee machine supplier that offers many awesome brands, like Jura, Elektra, Rocket, and Rancilio. They focus on your satisfaction so you know you can trust them with your purchase.
They sell more than coffee machines; you can also buy coffee and other accessories. Get FREE shipping on orders over $50!
Espresso machines
Jura S8 Black
Get $400 off the price of this espresso coffee machine until November 27! I am honestly dreaming about this machine. It offers many different kinds of specialty coffee drinks and has a touch screen display.
Buy the Jura S8 Black here.
Nespresso VertuoPlus by De’Longhi
A Nespresso machine is a classic for the home or the office. The espresso is dreamily creamy, just as I love it. The only downside is that it only uses Nespresso cups, which isn’t super eco-friendly*.
*Edit: I was just made aware of the fact that Nespresso offers one of the best eco-friendly solutions on the market. The cups are recyclable, the coffee grounds are compostable, and you can bring back the cups to a Nespresso boutique, a recycling center, or send them back through the postal service where the coffee will be composted and the aluminum will be given a second life. So, I would like to apologize to Nespresso, their sustainability program is AWESOME. Learn more here.
Get the Nespresso VertuoPlus here.
Coffee makers
Capresso CoffeeTEAM PRO Plus Therm
Now, this is my type of coffee maker. It comes with a grinder and a thermal carafe so your coffee stays hot for more than 30 minutes. You can simply pour the beans in the grinding chamber and the machine will take care of grinding the right amount of coffee depending on the number of cups being brewed! I might actually change my 12-year old coffee maker for this one.
Get the Capresso CoffeeTEAM PRO Plus Therm here.
Hamilton Beach Single Serve Coffee Brewer and Full Pot Coffee Maker
I bought this coffee machine a few years ago as a Father’s Day gift for my ex, so he left with it in the divorce. I loved that machine. It was easy to use, you could make yourself a single cup of coffee without using the 12-cup pot, and it was simple enough to program.
This machine is sold on Amazon, not on 1st in coffee, but I loved it so much that I had to share it with you. Get it here.
Coffee Accessories
There are a lot of awesome accessories out there for coffee lovers. Here are the must-haves:
Coffee Grinder
A coffee grinder is a kitchen essential that goes beyond coffee. You can also use it to grind herbs and spices, as long as you wash them after every use.
Get the Capresso Cool Grind Pro Blade Grinder here.
Reusable Coffee Filters
You know how much I love to promote eco-friendly solutions. Even though paper coffee filters are compostable, it’s even better to have a reusable one. They are also available for Keurig coffee machines so you don’t need to throw K-cups in the garbage ever again.
Get the Kinto 4-cup Stainless Steel Cone Filter from Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters here.
Keurig machines usually come with a reusable coffee filter but if you don’t have one, you can buy mesh filters on Amazon.
Milk Frothers
Who doesn’t like to have warm milk with a bit of foam in their coffee? Wait, actually my sister drinks her coffee black… Well, if you are like me and pour a lot of milk in your coffee, a milk frother is a must! There are 2 options: manual and automatic.
Buy a manual Bodum Chambord Milk Frother here.
Do you prefer a pitcher as baristas use? Get a 12 oz. Milk Frothing Pitcher here.
Do you prefer an automatic one? Get a Capresso Froth Max Automatic Milk Frother here.
Coffee Mug Warmer
Honestly, why do I not own one already? The cold season is upon us and my coffee gets cold in the blink of an eye. Although being a mom allowed me to reheat my coffee in the microwave (it grossed me out when my nana used to do this, now I get it), a coffee mug warmer is an essential item, whether you are working from home or at the office.
Get a Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer here.
Coffee Apparel
I love wearing silly t-shirts with funny messages like this “I like coffee and maybe 3 people” shirt. Here are a few t-shirt ideas for coffee lovers:
I Run On Coffee And Christmas Cheer
A Day Without Coffee Is Like…
Today’s Good Mood Is Sponsored By Coffee
I Run On Coffee, Chaos, & Cuss Words (wow, I never thought a shirt could summarize my whole personality…)
No Coffee No Workee (with Baby Yoda!!!)
And finally, this adorable Mother-Baby set, omg!
Okay, coffee mugs
I could not end this post without a few coffee mug gift ideas, right?
Can you believe that I am watching Friends for the first time ever? Well, this is why this mug immediately caught my attention!
A unicorn coffee mug? Uh, yes please!
A cute stainless steel insulated travel mug for days where you need to leave your home.
Ok this one actually made me laugh out loud.
I told you, adulting is HARD. It’s the exact main topic of this blog haha!

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
