Posted by Vinod Jethwani on

If you have a loved one who is mad about their coffee, why not fuel their passion for the good stuff!

This silly season, we’ve created the ultimate coffee lovers gift guide. Included are a selection of our own Beancraft gift packs, as well as other recommendations for stocking stuffers that will impress the coffee-obsessed.

 

Christmas Gift Guide for Coffee Lovers

 

1. COLD BREW LOVERS REJOICE PACK

The Hario cold brew pot is an essential item in the fridge for every cold brew-lover. It makes the perfect beverage for those hot summer days and is a super affordable gift.

Simply steep coffee grounds in the internal permanent filter for up to 12 hours, combine cold brew with water and enjoy over ice - with milk or black. It's a great summer time cooler.

The Mizudashi Cold Brew Coffee pot is made with high quality heatproof glass, as with all the Hario products, and is a gift that will stand the test of time. We’ve included two of our fave coffees in the pack so your coffee loving friend can get brewing right away.

2. COFFEE SHIRT FOR HER

There are a lot of cheesy coffee-slogan T-shirts out there but this one is simple, cool and minimal.

The shirt and its brand Vixsa have been designed by two Australian mums, and we love to support local businesses. So this ticks all the boxes.

3. FILTER LOVERS GIFT PACK

We’ve put together a filter coffee essentials pack, which includes our newest roast: Single Origin Hacienda Pilas from Costa Rica.

Sourced from a very special microlot within the Hacienda Pilas farm -La Virgen- this beautiful limited edition filter displays stone fruit notes and caramel-like sweetness. The plantation adheres to strict sustainable and social labour practices and is Rainforest Alliance and UTZ certified.

We’ve teamed the Hacienda Pilas with our Kercha Woreda single origin from Ethiopia, as well the Hario Metal Drip Decanter and Mini Slim Pro hand grinder for the ultimate filter lovers gift pack.

The Drip Decanter has a finely etched mesh filter, which allows minimal sediment to pass through. This provides clarity in the cup, which you typically don't see from traditional paper filters.

Combined with the portable hand grinder from Hario, this set is perfect for home and holidays: perfect for the filter coffee fan.

4. THE DAILY GRIND

A household name in Australia, Breville has come up with the goods for coffee lovers. The staff here at Beancraft HQ have these Breville Smart Grinder Pro grinders at home. We’ve tried and tested a few home mechanical grinders and can’t find better. Again, we have no affiliation; we just love them and reckon there’s some pretty cool technology on these grinders.

Smart ‘dosing’ technology automatically adjusts the dose for your needs. Choose between 'cups' for French press or Filter, and 'shots' for Espresso to get the right dose for your coffee's needs.

The Breville Smart Grinder Pro is a conical burr grinder. This type of grinder is commonly used in commercial environments due to their consistent grind for a balanced extraction. They also turn more slowly to minimise heat transferring to the grinds to maximise flavour.

Serious coffee lovers will know that it’s best to grind on demand. This offers café-freshness that far surpasses pre-ground coffee. Available at most major home electrical retailers and department stores: shop around for the best price.

5. THE ASPIRING BARISTA GIFT

We’ve long been fans of the Barista Basics team. Their coffee courses teach how to identify all the key variables that go into making espresso-based coffee. “It’s a power session that combines cutting-edge barista techniques with expert knowledge and advice.”

An experience gift for the coffee fanatic who ‘has it all.’

6. THE COFFEE PLUNGER RE-MIX

Your parents probably have a retro model in the back of her kitchen cupboard but this Bodum Chambord in a flash copper finish brings the humble plunger into the 2020’s! Often overlooked, the French Press is a wonderfully simple way to brew coffee at home.

As coffee grounds are filtered through the fine mesh sieve, oils and fine suspended particles pass through into the cup, resulting in a richer, heavier bodied coffee than other brew methods.

We’ve combined the three cup Bodum Chambord French Press - perfect for your loved one’s morning cup - with our chocolatey Heritage blend and most popular cafe house blend Enchanté.

12. BRUER COLD DRIP SYSTEM

Cold brew coffee comes with a neat little bench top system and is a gift that keeps on giving.

Over the course of several hours, the Bruer extracts different components from your beans lowering the acidity and bitterness while unmasking the smooth, naturally sweet, complex origin flavours of your favourite coffee.

The top dripper lifts off to create a classy serving carafe, and with warmer weather around the corner, this cold brew system will be sure to get a heavy workout over the coming months.
