What to buy someone who loves coffee
Coffee lovers often care about the ritual as much as the drink: grinding beans, controlling a pour or taking a familiar method on a trip. The best gifts for coffee lovers fit the way they already brew and the amount of effort they enjoy putting into it. Find out whether they use whole beans, prefer filter coffee or espresso-style drinks, and need equipment for home or travel.
