The best gifts for coffee lovers have the potential to complete their morning routine, or add a spring in their step on their morning commute when the New Year hits.
When shopping for a loved one, it helps to hone in on a theme or passion, and there are few more wholesome interests than an interest in coffee. Buying Christmas gifts for coffee lovers can be tricky though. It's a fast-paced industry, and if you want to buy them something they'll actually use, it can help to consult a gifting expert. That's where woman&home steps in - and particularly me, our Head of Shopping.
I've tested dozens kitchen appliances, from the best Ninja air fryers to market-leading coffee machines, and have a personal interest in in perfecting my home brewing. When out and about, I'll actively seek new and interesting coffee shops to expand my horizons, and I frequently treat myself to a new bag of beans when a blend piques my interest. So this guide comes to you hand-selected for coffee-lovers, by a coffee obsessive.
