Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to labor over your Chemex recipe to be a “coffee person.” Coffee people are everywhere — all it takes is an undying love of hot water drawn through a pile of ground-up beans. From a $14 stocking stuffer to the best damn drip brewer you can buy, here are 25 ideas to help you shop for everyone from your buddy who spends hours sweating their water-to-coffee ratio to your dad, who is only in it for the caffeine.

$30.00
Fellow’s little coffee canisters are simple to use and nice to look at. Dump beans in them, push the lid on and twist until you see a little green circle on the top. When twisting, you are literally sucking oxygen from the container, creating a space for beans to sit and not slowly stale.
Elemental Beverage Co. Single Origin Sampler
Elemental Beverage Co.
elementalbeverage.co
$26.96
Cold brew coffee versus iced coffee is not a discussion of better and worse — they’re just different.

Le Labo Body Scrub
Le Labo

Ensure you never burn your coffee with Fellow's electric kettle. According to the Specialty Coffee Association, the recommended temperatures for brewing pour-over coffee is between 195°F and 205°F.
