Affordable and easy to use, it makes some of the best coffee without bitterness for devoted fans.
The AeroPress is probably the most affordable and accessible way to get a coffee at this high-quality level. You can find many articles and videos with recipes and methods since it is very versatile. My parents just offered one to my husband for his birthday last year, and he is very impressed with it.

Most coffee machines come with a plastic tamper. While it does the job, there is no comparison with a nice heavy one. Not only does it feel better, but you also get more consistent results. Measure the inside of your filter basket to guarantee the proper fit of the tamper. There are hundreds of options, designs, and colors at an extensive range of prices. It can be an exceptional gift.

Don’t overthink it at first. Even a cheap tamper on Amazon will make a huge difference compared to the flimsy plastic tool that came with your machine. My current machine came with a decent machined all-aluminum 58mm tamper, but I upgraded it with a heavier 58mm model with a pleasant wenge wood handle. It looks good, but I prefer a slightly shorter handle. I dream about upgrading to a custom-made Reg Barber.

On Instagram, we received a lot of demands on which tamper we use. Unfortunately, ours is unavailable for the moment on Amazon. So here is one suggestion for a great price. A little bit pricier, you can’t go wrong with this beautiful Olive Wood Tamper.

You must select one with the correct diameter since espresso machines can use different portafilter sizes depending on the brand.

I have a soft spot for a good-looking and well-crafted product. A kettle is typically not an object that elicits any emotion. Still, the first time I saw pictures of the Fellow Stagg kettle, I was intrigued that making such a pedestrian object look beautiful was possible. It is a lot for heating water, about $200 with the wood handle when you can find a decent electric kettle for a third of that price but for a Christmas present, who is counting 😉

We wrote an exquisite article about our baby: “Fellow Kettle, Put Some Luxury in Your Morning Routine.”

The French press may sound fancy to many, but it is one of the most approachable and affordable coffee methods. It produces excellent results to let you appreciate tasty fresh coffee beans.
Bodum, a well-known brand for the French press, has all the styles and capacities to please your coffee enthusiast’s addiction.

We have the Chambord model, but not in copper 😉

A perfect stylish Christmas present for any coffee lovers.

A knock box is not the sexiest Christmas gift, but it’s mess-free disposal of the espresso puck— a metal or plastic canister with an anti-slip rubber grip that collects coffee grounds.

Breville has a good-looking knock box, but we have a Dreamfarm Grindenstein (red or gray), which works very well.

If you are like us, we love coffee cups! Coffee cups make the perfect present for any coffee lover in your life! Having the right cup will make the coffee experience much more enjoyable. Would you like to learn why? Our terrific article is: Make the Best of Your Coffee With the Perfect Cup!

We don’t own a Chemex®, but according to the coffee community, If you are a fan of pour-over coffee, you can elevate your home brewing game with a Chemex® brewer. Furthermore, it has an iconic look and looks good in your kitchen. You can find a Chemex® for just under $50, but you’ll need to buy Chemex® filters too.

Grinding fresh coffee beans daily is the best thing you can do to elevate the quality of your morning coffee. One of the best value options is the Solis Scala burr grinder. Compact and capable, it will let you enjoy fresh coffee beans with your coffee drip, pour-over, or French press without breaking the bank. There are many reasons to treat yourself with a burr grinder if you want to enjoy better coffee.

The Capresso Infinity Plus Burr Grinder is another excellent compact option for any coffee brewing method other than espresso.

If you want to spend less money, a manual burr grinder is a great idea for a true coffee enthusiast. Some high-quality options under $50 deliver great performance.

Check the Hario Mini Mill Plus; it’s under $40.00. You cannot go wrong; which can be an excellent choice to take with you on camping trips if you NEVER want to compromise on the quality of your coffee, even in the wild.

For a while, I was looking for a well-designed product that could grind fine enough for espresso at an attractive price. My research of an affordable manual coffee grinder that can do everything led me to the KINGrinder K1.

Please read our detailed review of the KINGrinder K1 here.

I have always wanted this mug because I (Audrey) am a slow coffee/tea drinker. Ember Mug² is a smart mug that keeps your hot drink at the exact temperature you want! We know a few people who own one, and they love it.

A silicon coffee tamper mat is not the sexiest present, but it’s functional, and your coffee lover will appreciate it daily! We have this Silicon coffee mat (see picture). Great price, and I like that convenient notch to position better the portafilter’s spout.

The Bodum’s pour-over is cheaper than the Chemex® and makes a decadent, pure, and crisp coffee. It is ridiculously cheap and well-designed. I offered one to my husband, and he loves using it.

If you prefer to brew one or two cups at a time, like me, one of the best coffee makers in the world costs barely more than $10. The Hario V60 is a pour-over dripper that you can directly use above your cup or mug. It is recognized as one of the best-designed drippers by baristas. It is available in ceramic, plastic, glass, and different colors. Experts recommend the plastic option since it is the easiest to warm up. Great with us since plastic is also the cheapest. Make sure you use adequate filters.

“Perfect measurements make for a perfect brew.” The perfect gift for pour-over lovers. If your at-home barista wants to make the perfect tasting cup of coffee, time after time, a coffee scale is the ideal tool. The Hario V60 scale is inexpensive yet offers everything you need to make a consistent cup of coffee.

We are big fans of James Hoffman’s YouTube channel. The World Atlas of Coffee is a book with historical details and tips about coffee tasting, from processing to brewing techniques. And this book could be a nice touch on your coffee table.

A coffee distribution tool evenly spreads espresso grounds in the portafilter by rotating the leveling blades. It helps prepare a flat coffee puck and makes applying even pressure with the tamper easier. A distribution tool’s price can vary from $20 to $160 for the original OCD. Make sure you select one with the correct diameter since espresso machines can use different portafilter sizes depending on the brand.

The Moka pot is the iconic Italian coffee maker. The Moka pot is a great and affordable way to make a good-tasting coffee at a low price.
It brews coffee under pressurized water by steaming through the coffee grounds. The result is a full-bodied aromatic coffee.
Read more about how to brew with this little piece of Italy.

I recently purchased this coffee-stirring tool on amazon. It has a lovely wood handle, and it is more pleasant to use, and I get better results than a toothpick. However, it quickly makes a mess, and I strongly advise using a funnel on the portafilter while stirring.
A dosing funnel is a small metal accessory that fits on your portafilter’s rim and helps direct ground coffee to the filter when you grind your coffee. It limits the mess on your countertop and the waste of delicious coffee. Make sure you select a funnel with the correct diameter since espresso machines can use different portafilter sizes depending on the brand.
Those are inexpensive accessories that can dramatically improve the espresso’s quality.

Here are some suggestions for your barista-lover to level up his latte art skills: Star coffee pitcher is an excellent entry-level pitcher with measurement scales on both sides. The Motta Europe pitcher is a classic in the coffee world (high quality with a high price tag).

The Flair classic is a manual espresso maker for true espresso lovers. The idea and the design are simple; a single lever to force water through a small, compressed puck of coffee. It’s portable and has a very avant-garde approach. This is the best way to make a great espresso for under $200.
