Tis the season to be caffeinated … coffee-related Christmas gifts.
1. Books
The World Atlas of Coffee is the new book from Square Mile s James Hoffman. It is described as the “ultimate guide to coffee contains comprehensive details on the beans and brews of more than 35 countries.” I want my own copy.
2. Coffee subscriptions
There are many brilliant subscriptions and it’s a great Christmas gift. Take your pick. From Pact (their coffee for a £1 here) to the fantastic Hasbean to Blankbox Coffee to Kopi (try a free bag!) to 8point9 to Origin to Aromaah and so on etc etc.
3. Home brewing
I already have an Aeropress, a Hario DripPot and a Rok Espresso machine amongst other things at home, and all of those would alone make fantastic presents. I’d love a Kalita Wave too and check out this Cores Brewer Mug for an all-in-one brewing experience and cup combined.
To get a head start, check out these three great bundles from Coffee Hit – an Aeropress Brew Bundle, a v60 bundle and a clever brewing bundle – all great Christmas gifts.
Check out classic hand grinder such as the Porlex Mini Ceramic Burr Grinder or the Rhino Hand Grinder would both be brilliant.
4. Cups
So there are KeepCups including the funky glass made KeepCup Brew and these are the standard industry bearer in different sizes and a myriad of colours (several million sold worldwide).
By the way, I love this device (thanks to @paul4july on twitter for the spot) which aims to give cyclists the ultimate portability.
5. Hot Chocolate
For those of you seeking a festive alternative to coffee, look no further than Kokoa Collection who produce amazing single-estate hot chocolate. They currently supply Saint Kitchen and I heartily recommend their products. Available to buy through various stockists including Ocado.
… finally, be sure to visit our local indies to see what great gifts are on sale too!
So, with all the above in mind, what coffee gifts do you want Santa to deliver for you?
