From brewers to beans and mugs to magazines, there are scores of great things to stuff in a coffee aficionado's stocking!
Whether you're a coffee lover or you're shopping for someone who is, now is a perfect time to grab up this season's most sought after gifts. Here's some of our favorites:
Yasukiyo Wooden Dripper
A gift that won't end up hidden in the pantry!
Nothing makes for a better gift than an object of beauty that's also useful! The Yasukiyo Wooden Dripper is a handmade work of art that also produces an amazing cup of coffee. The unique look and lasting durability comes from it's construction – utilizing a centuries-old method called Yamanaka-shikki.
The result of this traditional Japanese craftsmanship is a coffee dripper that's lightweight, strong, and a joy to display and use. The intricately-carved ribs and cone design ensure that the maximum amount of nuance and flavor is extracted from the roast within, which means that anyone who enjoys an incredible cup of coffee will absolutely love the Yasukiyo.
Torch Coffee Server "Pitchii"
Coffee lovers love this pitcher of supreme quality and simple design!
From the experts at Torch in Gunma, Japan, we have the Torch Coffee Server. This elegant and practical pitcher is designed to hold about four cups (600ml) of brewed coffee and works perfectly with most of the drippers on the market. Pair it with the Torch Donut Dripper, or any of the fine drippers by Hario, Kono, or Kalita, and you will pretty much guarantee an amazing coffee experience!
The Torch Coffee Server Pitcher is handmade from special glass and is heat resistant to 120oCelsius. It's a wonderful accessory that's built to last a lifetime!
1616/Arita Coffee Cups
Elegant and simply-designed drink ware that will complement any kitchen cafe!
Any coffee lover can appreciate a gift that combines modern design with a rich, historical origin. These 1616/Arita White Series cups have been created by Japanese designer Teruhiro Yanagihara, and they're constructed of a light and durable Aritayaki ceramic that dates back to the 17th Century.
The minimalist design fits well with any contemporary décor or style, and the high quality ensures that these gifts will be enjoyed for years and years. This style range includes a small espresso cup, a medium coffee cup, and a large modernist mug for big portions.
Takahiro Shizuku Coffee Drip Pour Over Kettle
Don't skimp on your kettle when you can have the best of the best!
Every home needs a kettle, and that's even more true when speaking of the home of a coffee enthusiast! The Takahiro Coffee Drip Pour Over Kettle is a slightly-modernized take on an already adored kettle design. The original Takahiro Kettle has been a stape among coffee lovers for generations, and this updated version boasts a thinner spout for even more precision control of water flow. The kettle works with direct heat, stove tops, and IH electromagnetic cookers.
As if that weren't enough, you can't deny the sharp, classic looks of the design. The simple lines of the Takahiro Kettle glisten with the durability and shine of stainless steel, making it a piece worth using and showing off.
