Us coffee drinkers are an opinionated bunch. We all agree that we like coffee (or espresso), but as for how it should be made (pour-over vs. drip vs. French press vs. cold brew), well, that\u2019s another story. While we love these passionate preferences, they can make coffee gift-giving quite the high wire act. In hopes of reducing this risk, we spoke to the most opinionated coffee lovers of all\u2014baristas\u2014to identify the best gifts for all types of coffee lovers.<\/p>\n

For 15-year coffee industry veteran\u2014and Food52 Test Kitchen Assistant\u2014C\u00e9sar P\u00e9rez, there\u2019s no such thing as too many coffee cups. \u201cI\u2019m a mug addict. If I see one I like, I get it,\u201d he said. Of his collection, his favorite mugs are the ones that carry sentimental value. \u201cI once received a ceramic version of those iconic Greek NYC to-go coffee cups<\/a> from my coworker because I\u2019m a native New Yorker. It was really thoughtful and cute.\u201d

Carlos Morales\u2014an NYC-based hospitality professional who\u2019s worked in specialty coffee for more than a decade\u2014loves investigating how different kettles impact the flavor of his coffee. \u201cIt would be nice to have a collection of kettles for different brew methods,\u201d he says. Food52 Editorial Assistant and former barista Anabelle Doliner echoes Carlos\u2019 kettle interest, citing this style<\/a> as her favorite.

For Carlos, a grinder was the best coffee gift he\u2019s ever received. \u201cThe ability to grind coffee at home is truly a delight,\u201d he said. Anabelle agrees, but believes that one specific type of grinder makes for the best gift. \u201cI\u2019d get [someone] a burr grinder<\/a>\u2014they\u2019re so much better than any other type of coffee grinder, but they\u2019re also typically much more expensive, so it\u2019s something someone might not invest in for themselves,\u201d she said.

Anabelle, Carlos, and Cesar are all in agreement\u2014the ideal gift for any coffee enthusiast is an espresso machine. While most of us don\u2019t have space (or the need) for the full-size, industrial espresso machines you\u2019ll find at your local coffee shop, there are plenty of more conveniently sized options available in our shop.

When Anabelle worked at Coffee Commissary in Los Angeles, she became fixated on perfecting pour-over coffee. This was her setup: \u201cI got a Chemex<\/a> to practice with at home. I also got a kettle<\/a> (which is essential for making a good pour-over), and a kitchen scale to weigh the beans.\u201d
