It's that time of year where we stress ourselves out trying to work out what is the perfect gift for the people in our lives.

And sometimes we try and work out what they should get for us.

So this is a list of 10 things.

10 ideas of coffee gift of aimed to keep these on the cheaper side of things.

A couple of them are expensive.

Most of them are not too much.

So let's start with the first recommendation, which is for the person who has everything the impossible to buy for.

I know I have some of those in my life, and I would recommend the ember smart mug.

I know it's absurd.

I said it was absurd when I reviewed it earlier in the year, and I still feel it's absurd now, but I still use it almost every day.

I still really enjoy the experience of having my coffee be the exact perfect temperature all the time, right through the whole cup of coffee until I'm finished.

Whether I get distracted or not, it is very silly.

It's expensive, but it is great.

So if you've got the budget, and you have that difficult to buy for person.

I think this is a great called The Next recommendation is one for the coffee nerd in your life, and it's this coffee.

A Global History by Professor Jonathan Morris.

Now I've known him for a number of years.

Now he's an academic.

Working in coffee almost exclusively.

Now on this book is like a little machine gun of information straight to the brain.

It is small.

It is not too expensive.

It's £8 on Alison right now, but it is jam packed with information.

I don't think I've read a book, this information dense and yet still incredibly readable, possibly ever.

Or certainly in sometime.

It is a great little book that I recommend highly.

If you want a ton of history, a ton of information, a ton of background on coffee, this is a great gift.

Now, if you have a collector in your life, then I have an idea for you, and it's one of our things here.

It's the Little Espresso cup from tens hundreds thousands.

It is a limited edition run.

There is one run ever.

It's a collaboration with artist Maggie Jang on It's a representation off the colors that coffee goes through from flower took up.

That is a beautiful little explanation of all those symbols on the saucer itself.

These are limited.

They're going quickly.

If you want one, grab it.

There's nothing down below now.

Next gift is for you if you want to spread the love right.

If you want to share the gift of great coffee with other people, what would I recommend?

And it's actually a classic in the field.

It's the era press you could give the air press go to, but the air oppress the classic.

I think it's a superb gift.

I'll tell you why.

I have met hundreds, if not thousands, of people who don't really care that much about coffee but haven't air press and they all seem to just really enjoy it.

It is the least disappointing coffee gift I think that people ever receive.

And so if you're trying to get someone into brewing good coffee in the mornings, good coffee for themselves in their office, in their home.

Wherever I think this is a great gift, spread your passion and your addiction to great coffee a little further, given her press continuing the theme of spreading the love If you want to give the gift of fresh ground coffee, if you want to give someone a grinder good, a little bit of budget, then I would recommend the air grind Bye made by Knock.

This is about 100 £110.

At the moment, I think online.

It is not cheap, but is super well built, really nice to use, really good results.

There are better, fancier, more expensive hand grinders.

But I think that the price value quality thing here is just right.

Fits inside Neri Press.

It's a good little grinder.

I would recommend it.

And now the gift.

That is not really for you, but it's really for me.

And, you know, we've all been guilty of that gift.

It's okay if you're gonna do that, though, I would say give a copy subscription, give a gift that you can share a little bit.

I'm not gonna recommend any particular copy subscriptions because there are way too many, and I haven't tried much to them.

And I have a bias here in my own.

But six months, 12 months give someone a year of really great coffee.

That is an incredible gift, made all the better.

If you happen to be sharing it with them now, what to give the person who's just getting into coffee.

I'm going to be a little biased here, and I'm going to say, Give them the world atlas of coffee.

Look, I know I wrote this, and that makes this a deeply biased recommendation.

But I tried to write it for people who are at that stage in their coffee journey.

It might be that they just started a job in coffee and they're really loving it.

Or it might be that they just started drinking really great coffee at home, and they're loving it.

Either way, this book is there to kind of found the flames of that initial passion but also be a kind of guide book to make sense of this big, wide, huge, crazy, complex world of specialty coffee.

There's so much there that it can be overwhelming, and this is designed in many ways t take that pain away and make it easy and fun and approachable.

So I hope you understand me recommending the book now for these last three recommendations, the's going to fall under the category off stocking stuffers, little gifts, maybe something even for a secret Santa if you take part in one of those things, too.

So three cheap, wonderful little gif ts that I would recommend.

Firstly, it's this.

It's a cupping spoon.

It's the Rainbow Big Dipper from Messy.

So now the company's been makes you feel fancy and it makes you feel professional, and it makes you feel good.

And when it looks this good, well, everyone will be jealous of you.

And no one can claim to have picked it up by mistake.

It will be clearly yours.

I think the finish on this is really cool.

I think it's beautiful.

Spoon.

It's not too expensive.

It's a really great gift.

My next recommendation is this.

It's a cheap set of digital scales.

Now these air down to like £8 on Amazon.

Right now, that's super cheap.

And if you make coffee at home, they're essential, right?

They don't do anything fancy.

They just wait a point.

One of a gram if you're making espresso, if you're weighing ground coffee, if you're making a pore over there super useful for everything and they're a great little gift.

Don't make sure to explain it, because on its own, it's probably a little bit confusing.

And last but not least, I'm gonna do a little self recommendation again.

As a little stocking stuffer, I think coffee playing cards are a great little gift.

We went with a couple of artists on this, and they did.

Amazing job on we have.

The King is a producer.

We have the queen as a roaster.

We have Jack as a barrister on this, a special Joker card that is particularly beautiful, too.

We really love these.

They're a great gift.

They don't even have to be a coffee lover to enjoy a beautiful set of playing cards.

They're really nicely made their enjoyable to shuffle deal with Hunter to play card games with.

Have you liked them?

Maybe enjoy them, But let me know your thoughts.

Let me know what appears out of this list.

Let me know if you have a great little find, a great little gift that you want to share with other people.
