According to many surveys of various sizes, one of the most common gifts, presentations, and tokens of attention is coffee. A fragrant drink that you fall in love with once and for all rarely turns out to be inappropriate. Coffee as a gift is a case when you need something not very expensive, but at the same time useful and necessary. The design of the gift is also important - just putting it in a bag is not at all original, but the aesthetics of giving is also held in high esteem. But it’s worth starting with how to choose the right coffee.

Buy gift sets for coffee lovers at the Boffo boutique - a wide selection of gifts

What gift will please a connoisseur of an invigorating aromatic drink? A beautifully decorated set with ground or coffee beans and sweets, a chic basket with a geyser coffee maker and special types of coffee. In the Boffo boutique you will find a coffee gift ranging in size from a small set in a box to a large, elegant basket.

Features of choice

You rarely find good coffee in the mass market. To do this you need to look into a coffee shop, and finally, to do this you need to be “in the know.” If you know that the person to whom the gift is intended brews coffee only in a Turk, Chemex or press, you can please him with plantation coffee. Varieties from small auctions, where small farms are engaged in the sale of crops, are increasingly appearing on sale. The drink has a very rich taste, and its bouquet will be appreciated by a true coffee lover.

The most preferred varieties are Colombia Excelso Sierra Nevada, Brazil Ipanema Dulce.

You can place a beautiful Turk in your coffee set: it definitely won’t be too much for a coffee lover.

Secrets of choice:

if the person for whom the coffee is intended is a person of fast affairs, in an eternal hurry, super busy, give him an espresso mixture;
if you know that a person loves coffee, but is happy to use it at work, where it is possible to drink only an instant drink, give just such a thing - there are also elite varieties among them;
For those who have a coffee machine, freshly roasted Italian coffee will be a good gift.

There is single-origin coffee: such a product is grown in a certain country and on a certain plantation. What the final drink will be like is influenced by climate, geography, soil composition, and so on. It turns out to be a truly original taste.

Espresso blends, unlike single-origin beers, consist not only of Arabica; they are often supplemented with Robusta. The ingredients stabilize the taste. Italy and Sweden are leaders in the production of espresso blends.

Flavored coffee is often given to women. Three flavors are called classics of the genre: vanilla, chocolate, caramel. There is no need to specially add syrup to this coffee: you can immediately buy coffee with the taste of Baileys liqueur, for example.

Coffee machine

A good coffee machine is the real dream of any coffee lover (if he doesn’t already have one). It differs from a coffee maker primarily in that it allows you to brew coffee from beans, rather than from pre-ground coffee.

This allows the drink to fully reveal its rich aroma and taste, which suffers greatly within 15 minutes after grinding.

Good, expensive coffee machines are equipped with smart programs that allow you to configure a whole lot of parameters - from the strength of the drink to the subtleties of the cappuccino maker.

Modern models work on the “one button” principle - you just need to load the necessary ingredients into the machine and select the desired program.

Such machines are often equipped with a function for saving settings, which is very convenient for a large family or office - the user just needs to select his name and the machine will prepare the drink according to his preferences.

However, this does not mean that cheap coffee machines brew a bad drink. They differ from expensive analogues only in that they require the user to perform more steps for preparation. The coffee machine will be a good, although not cheap, present for your home or office.

How to present?

It’s great if you decide to present ground coffee (or any other) in a set: that is, the drink itself plus an addition to it. Of course, the components of the gift should be related thematically.

With sweets

To give coffee in an original way, you can complement it with different sweets.

Chocolate. Well, where would we be without this textbook solution! If you have been to European cafes, you may have noticed that even a cup of coffee is often served (for free) with a couple of slices of chocolate. Give chocolate with special flavors, beautifully decorated. Bitter, milky, porous - a variety of options will do.

Honey. You are mistaken if you think that this sweet addition is only suitable for tea. A beautiful jar of honey (which also has a huge selection of varieties) is always convincing and not very banal.

Jam, jam. They can also go well with coffee drinking. Especially if you cooked them yourself: a natural dessert can be beautifully decorated by wrapping the lids in napkins and tying them with ribbons.

Spices. You should definitely give them as a gift if the person for whom it is intended loves Indian or Oriental coffee. Cardamom, cloves, allspice and, of course, cinnamon will complete the gift.

Cane sugar . There is an opinion that it allows the taste of coffee to develop more than the usual white refined sugar. Cane sugar can also soften the bitterness present in coffee.

Candies. Probably the first most common option. These can be sets of sweets with liqueur, waffle, nut, and cognac fillings. If the gift is intended for a foreigner, give him candies that are considered a brand of your “sweet” industry.

Marshmallow/marshmallow. Pleasant, delicate delicacies that also have many admirers. Many people will not refuse to taste sticky marshmallows or chocolate-covered marshmallows with a cup of coffee. Fortunately, today these products are also produced in quite interesting packaging. There is no need to think about how to beautifully pack the gift; the sweets are initially in presentable boxes.

If you give instant coffee, you can present it along with a thermal mug: convenient for those who often drink coffee at work. If you are presenting a product in grains, you can give it along with a spoon (with a beautiful engraving or an unusual design).

Coffee bouquet

Another way to be considered original is to present a coffee bouquet. You will have to practice a little before you can arrange such a bouquet beautifully and reliably. Although there are options, as they say, for beginners. The main thing is to pack a pack (packs) of coffee and sweets in cellophane, secure everything together with a good bandage, and then select the packaging, as if you were doing it for a flower bouquet.

It will be even easier to make a coffee bouquet in a basket. Surely you've seen what flowers look like in a small basket (it can be with or without a handle). You also need to buy one, you can lay it out inside with a beautiful openwork napkin. A jar (pack) of coffee, a package of flavored sugar (today it is sold in the shape of a bridge, a heart - cinnamon, lemon, wild berries, etc.), sweets are also sent there.

And to make the basket still resemble a flower one, you can decorate the perimeter with real flowers (or, if you have such a skill, with chic flowers made of crepe paper).

Gift box

This is a very popular way of giving a gift today. These boxes look like souvenirs. You need a box, or better yet a small plywood box. But it must be quite roomy to accommodate a pack of coffee, as well as a dessert with a mug. If you are giving capsules for a coffee machine, it is also beneficial to present them in a gift box.

Laying it on a flat plywood surface is not an option. You need special decorative shavings that perfectly fill the space.

If you wish, you can decorate it with sequins, beads, or even scattered small fragrant caramels in attractive wrappers.

You can fit many more useful themed items into the gift box.

Mugs. And remember what coffee cups should really be like - small, elegant, fragile in appearance. If it's a set (cup, saucer) that's also nice.

Cookie. Take the most delicious varieties of cookies by weight. Better yet, bake it yourself according to a proven recipe! If the New Year is coming, then ginger cookies plus your favorite coffee is just a recipe for a good mood and salvation from the winter blues. Pack the cookies in cellophane and tie them with ribbons.

Syrup. Many people cannot refuse a couple of drops of aromatic syrup in their coffee, because it is truly delicious. You can take mini bottles and offer several flavors at once.

Turk. As already mentioned, there are never too many of them. It could be a Turk with a gift engraving, with an unusual handle, and so on. A pack of coffee, Turk, sweets is a win-win option for any occasion.

Coffee card . You can make a card yourself from designer cardboard, “bathing” it in coffee aroma.

Book. A book is known to be the best gift. And this is so: a cup of coffee and an interesting book - these are the little things in life, which in fact are not little things at all. If you have even the slightest idea of what you can do to please your loved one who loves books, choose just such a pair: coffee and a book.

Marshmallow. It's almost like a marshmallow, only lighter, smaller and often cuter. This delicious decoration looks more than appetizing on coffee with milk. If you still don’t have a classic photo on Instagram - a hand with a cup of coffee and inviting and festive marshmallows on its foam, take it urgently, it lifts your spirits.

Montpensier. Retro candy jars are back in fashion. You open such a cute, touching tin, and there are caramels powdered with sugar - a beauty that you immediately want to drag into your mouth. There's something nostalgically sweet about it. Older people who remember how valuable these jars were will certainly appreciate this addition to their coffee.

As you can see, decorating a gift is a significant part of it. Even the banalities that you present as a sign of attention play with completely different colors if you decorate them with taste and imagination. The anticipation of opening a gift, unwrapping packages and ribbons is also a pleasure, and you can give it. And coffee seems to taste even better when served this way!

I'm not very knowledgeable about types and varieties of coffee. How do I choose a really good one?

It is obvious that this is what a coffee lover needs to give as a gift. But this is where the ideas may end: a large selection of varieties can lead to despair. If you know the person you're choosing a gift for, that's great, but what if you don't?

There are several win-win options:

Monosort. This is coffee that is grown in a certain country on a certain plantation. The taste of the drink is influenced by a huge number of factors: climatic and geographical conditions, soil composition and much more. The result is a unique taste that is unlike anything else. Manufacturers select the best beans for single varieties, so you can be sure of excellent quality. The name often refers to the country where the coffee grew.
Espresso blends. If single-origin beans consist exclusively of Arabica, then Robusta is often added to the espresso mixture. This is not done to reduce the cost of the final product (or not only for it). Robusta helps stabilize the taste and gives the drink richness and strength. The result is excellent taste regardless of the cooking method. Pay attention to espresso blends roasted and packaged in Italy and Sweden - they know a lot about their production here.
Flavored coffee. This coffee is often taken as a gift for the fair sex. Three flavors are considered classic and combine perfectly with the taste of an invigorating drink: chocolate, vanilla and caramel. Types with the aroma of famous drinks, for example, Baileys and Amaretto liqueurs, as well as unusual varieties with the taste of desserts, such as tiramisu or Panna Cotta, are incredibly popular.

Is it possible to put sweets (and what kind) as a gift? Will this not offend the taste of a real gourmet?

The rich taste of coffee is wonderful in itself. But over the thousand-year history of consumption, gourmets have developed several combinations that perfectly highlight its qualities - for example, sweets and spices. Presented with coffee, they can be a wonderful addition to your gift.

Chocolate. This combination has become so classic that some European coffee shops serve several pieces of chocolate with every cup of coffee ordered. A chocolate bar or chocolate candies in a beautiful package is a perfect gift with coffee. We recommend paying special attention to handmade chocolate with the addition of berries. Their slight sourness combined with the sweetness of chocolate and the invigorating richness of coffee is a real pleasure. Traditional Sicilian chocolate also goes well with the aromatic drink. It is produced by hand using a special technology: the result is a surprisingly rich taste and an interesting porous consistency.
Honey. The unusual combination of coffee and sweet fragrant honey is becoming increasingly popular. Moreover, honey can be served along with coffee in beautiful rosettes, or it can be added directly to the drink. We recommend considering an unusual honey soufflé as a gift. Its unusual consistency and huge palette of different flavors will delight a true gourmet.
Jam. Freshly baked bread, smeared with the freshest butter and delicious jam - such additions to coffee are usually served in Italy and France. Therefore, it is not forbidden to put a jar of Italian citrus fruit jam in a gift package for a coffee lover - it will come in handy!
Spices. Spices are absolutely necessary if the person you are choosing a gift for is a fan of Oriental or Indian coffee. Cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, cloves - all this will give the drink a unique aroma!
Cane sugar. There is an opinion among gourmets that it perfectly reveals the notes of coffee and softens its characteristic bitterness. For lovers of everything unusual, you can choose a flavored version of sugar (for example, with lavender or strawberry).

What else can I give besides coffee?

Choosing good coffee is only half the battle. Coffee lovers understand that it also needs to be brewed correctly and served beautifully. Pay attention to useful accessories that will help you prepare and serve a delicious aromatic drink. They will properly reveal the taste and aroma of the beans and will always be useful to a true coffee lover.

Geyser coffee maker. An indispensable thing for those who love freshly brewed coffee, but do not have enough free time. Allows you to quickly prepare excellent coffee, while the stove is guaranteed to remain clean! Italian coffee makers are leaders in quality.
Cezve. A classic way to make coffee at home. Turkish coffee is thick and incredibly aromatic. Copper Turks are usually beautifully engraved and look very elegant, making them a great gift.
French press. A convenient method of brewing coffee using a French press is gaining popularity. If the coffee is ground coarsely enough, the French press drink will be rich and quite strong. In addition, French press coffee is convenient for brewing in the office or during a picnic.
Pen for drawing on milk foam. A great gift for creative people! A coffee lover who appreciates not only the taste, but also the appearance of the drink, will be happy with such a gift.
Cups. The good thing about this gift is that you can choose something to suit every taste and budget: from democratic-minimalist glass to Wedgwood porcelain.

Geyser coffee maker

Geyser coffee maker Walmer Blackwood for 6 cups, 0.3 l, metallic gray color

Expected arrival

The famous Italian invention - the geyser coffee maker - must be made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum conducts heat perfectly and this is exactly the material for which the structure was designed, which has already become legendary today. This coffee maker consists of two compartments - the lower one, into which you need to pour water, and the upper one, which contains ground coffee. Boiling water first heats the coffee with steam and only then brews it, rising through the tube. The coffee turns out just great!

How to beautifully wrap a gift with coffee and is it necessary to do it?

This point should never be underestimated: a bright, exclusive design will highlight your gift and draw attention to it. In fact, it is the beautiful packaging that turns a set of items into a real gift.

Compare how much more advantageous the same thing looks when it is successfully included in a beautiful, elegant and original package. This is no longer just a useful item, but a real gift, prepared with care and love.

How can you package coffee beautifully?

Craft box. Perhaps the best packaging option for coffee. Thick craft cardboard will withstand small amounts of water. This is non-marking and wrinkle-resistant packaging. In addition, unlike shiny plastic wrapping, it is easily recycled and in this regard more environmentally friendly. The porous structure allows the products to breathe, and condensation will never accumulate in such packaging. Just touching the material evokes a feeling of warmth and comfort. And such boxes are often decorated with bright thematic designs.
Wooden box. A very original design for a coffee gift. Suitable if you decide to give something fragile and bulky along with coffee, such as cups or latte glasses.
Wicker basket. A beautiful and elegant frame for a gift set. It allows you to easily and beautifully package coffee, candies and other accessories. A gift in a basket will create a holiday mood.

What if I don't have time to pack? Where can I get a good coffee gift set?

A great option would be to buy a ready-made gift set. Our store offers many options that true coffee lovers will appreciate. The unsurpassed quality of the products will delight them. In our sets we put excellent varieties of coffee, roasted and packaged in Italy, delicious and beautiful handmade chocolate, original jams, aromatic cane sugar, and complement them with useful and beautiful accessories - geyser coffee makers and Turks. And all this at a very reasonable price.

We pay special attention to the beautiful packaging of coffee as a gift. Our designers have developed a unique craft box specifically for special coffee sets. The warmth of natural material is combined with an exclusive thematic pattern in a classic red and black color scheme. Such a gift will be remembered for a long time!

You can buy all the components from us - craft boxes, wooden boxes, wicker baskets, bright filling - and pack the gift yourself. For a coffee gift, we recommend choosing our branded coffee box with a unique print and a narrow paper filler in red, black or beige. These exquisite color combinations will highlight the original design of the box. The box can also be tied with a brown (café au lait color) or red satin bow, which will give the finished set an additional touch of elegance.

How to make a gift from coffee beans?

The coffee gourmet will love everything related to coffee. A handmade souvenir made from coffee beans would be an appropriate gift. The easiest option: making a photo frame or pencil holder. All you need to do is cover the surface of the intended souvenir with an adhesive base and attach coffee beans to it. Additionally, you can decorate with what you have at hand: beads, bows, hearts, flowers.

But making a coffee bouquet as a gift will require time and patience.

You will need:

Kinder Surprise cases or other plastic jars;
paper twine;
glue gun:
coffee beans;
large bead;
container for ready-made flowers;
gypsum;
acrylic stones.

Let's start the process:

We pierce the case through with an awl. We thread the twine through the hole. We secure the knot so that it does not slip out. Wrap the egg in tight rows of twine. Don't forget to use glue. We make 3 of these “barrels”.
Now, using a glue gun, we lay rows of coffee beans on them. The cases must be completely covered with them. Lay out the top with grains in the shape of a flower: one is the middle, the rest are petals. Work your way down to the base, gluing the grains in rows.
Wait for the flower to dry. Attach it to the wire at one end. Place exactly the same flower on the other end. We put the third flower on another wire, and attach a large bead to the other end. We got flowers.
Pour liquid gypsum into a container for ready-made flowers. Insert ready-made flowers. We wait a little for them to hold on.
We lay out the top of the “gypsum soil” with acrylic stones. Let the product dry. The result was an original coffee bouquet.

Hand your coffee bouquet to the recipient. A true coffee connoisseur will appreciate your souvenir.

An invigorating aroma, a bitter taste and a charge of vivacity - it is for these qualities that coffee beans are so valued. True coffee lovers prefer a natural drink rather than its instant substitutes.

Expensive gifts for a coffee lover: top 10 options

If you want to give something really spectacular and chic, then you should choose a more expensive gift. These are products that greatly simplify the process of making coffee and will take their rightful place in any kitchen. Among them:

Coffee grinders

You can choose both automatic and manual products, which can be made in a modern or retro style. An excellent solution for those who prefer to buy coffee beans. Millstone models are optimal for preparing a drink in a coffee maker, knife models - in a Turk.

Espresso coffee maker

A high-quality coffee machine is expensive, but it is completely worth its cost. This is a great opportunity to feel like a true barista, trying different variations of the drink every day, and without spending effort on preparing them. The presence of a special nozzle for cappuccino will be an additional plus.

Moka

The geyser coffee maker is simple and functional - an original Italian invention. The drink is prepared very quickly, and therefore you don’t have to waste precious morning minutes on it. At the same time, the coffee has a pleasant taste and pleases with the presence of foam. The cost of the product depends on the volume of the drink that can be prepared at a time - from 50 to 900 ml. In addition, this is a great opportunity to switch from instant to natural coffee - the preparation process will not cause the slightest difficulty.

Chemex

An alternative method of making coffee that was invented in the USA and has spread throughout the world. A Chemex is a glass container similar in appearance to an hourglass. Thanks to a special filtration system, it is possible to obtain a medium-strength drink with a mild taste and rich aroma. The product looks original and stylish, and the brewing process itself turns into a fascinating procedure.

Aeropress

A unique design that was developed for making coffee at home. Using such a device is very simple, which has ensured its worldwide popularity - this is one of the youngest and simplest methods of brewing a drink. Such a purchase saves a lot of time, and therefore even if the recipient of the gift has never used it before, he will certainly appreciate its functionality. Due to the fact that coffee is poured with non-boiling water, its taste characteristics are similar to espresso, although it is somewhat inferior in strength, but the aroma is much richer.

Gift coffee set

Not only a coffee pot, but also a set of cups, decorated in a similar style. It will be useful for those who like to invite guests and at the same time pay special attention to the issue of table setting.

Master classes and courses

Some people like to enjoy a ready-made drink, while others put their whole soul into preparing it. The opportunity to learn how to create all sorts of designs, add spices correctly and brew different types of coffee will surely delight the owner of such a gift.

Gift certificate to a specialty store

If you don’t know what to give, then you should give a certain amount - its owner will independently choose what he really wants.

Mid-price gifts

Coffee – bean or ground. Here it is important not to make a mistake with the variety, especially if a person is well versed in this and has his own preferences. Giving a coffee lover the wrong type of coffee is the same as “delighting” a woman with the wrong shade of lipstick. Your gift will either be given away or left to gather dust on a distant shelf. Therefore, it is better to find out the person’s tastes in advance. If this is not possible, take a classic blend of Arabica and Robusta in a ratio of 80/20 or 100% Arabica. Dark roast is suitable for lovers of a strong, rich taste. Choose Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica as the country of origin. Coffee from Mexico and Africa is not for everyone, as it has a pronounced sourness.
Capsules for a coffee maker, but only if you know exactly the model of the device.
A set of syrups with different flavors is a wonderful gift for a coffee lover. Suitable for both the drink itself and for baking or cocktails.
Coffee couple. There are plenty of options, from classics to designer pieces.
Turk - copper, stainless steel, heat-resistant glass.
Milk frother. It can be given to a person who loves cappuccino, latte and everything that falls under the definition of coffee with milk foam.
Book of recipes for coffee drinks.
A high-quality thermal mug, on which you can make a memorable engraving.
Coffee service. It can have 2, 4 or 6 pairs.
Coffee grinder – ideally a millstone, but a knife grinder is acceptable. There are manual and electric ones.
Set of spoons. They can be decorated with an engraving with a name or logo.
Paintings, posters on the theme of coffee, books and encyclopedias about coffee.
Kit for growing your own coffee tree.
Geyser coffee maker. We classified it as a mid-priced gift because it is cheaper than other types, but still produces a decent quality drink that will appeal to a novice coffee lover.

Coffee gifts: what to give to a coffee lover/coffee lover?

There are two important mutually exclusive facts on the topic of “coffee as a gift”:

Coffee is a good gift that suits a wide range of people, and for a variety of occasions: be it New Year, February 23 or March 8.
Moreover, if the birthday person drinks something higher than instant coffee or Turkish coffee, then you can definitely “fly by” , because with a high degree of probability he has already formed his own taste, and he simply will not use an inappropriate birthday gift.

In this material I will try to give advice on how not to miss a gift for a coffee lover, or just a coffee lover. If you really, really don’t know a person’s tastes, then skip straight to the universal coffee gift - a good set of coffee cups.

Original gifts

Coffee-related gifts will undoubtedly delight coffee lovers

Attention should be paid to the following:

stencil in combination with a bag for cookies. This set will help give your cappuccino an unusual look. You just need to grate the chocolate on top using a stencil, and an image of a heart, a leaf or some kind of inscription will appear. If you attach a cookie bag to the cup, it turns out amazingly beautiful;
decorations, interior items made from coffee beans. A topiary that is placed on the desktop is suitable as a gift for a man. A woman can be presented with a set of jewelry;
gel flavor. With its help, the aroma of your favorite drink will be present everywhere (at home, at work, in the car). Naturally, you will like such a present.

There are many gifts that would appeal to true connoisseurs of coffee drinks. The main thing is to take into account the character, tastes and interests of the person for whom the gift is intended. Without any doubt, you will be able to avoid making a mistake in your choice.

The main thing: find out your preferences and tastes

This is generally universal advice when gifting any person with anything. But as banal as it is, it is also important. In relation to the coffee theme, it is worth finding out at least the type of coffee drink that the “hero of the occasion” prefers: instant, Turkish, geyser, Americano, espresso, cappuccino, etc.

The second question is what equipment he already has: a Turk, a geyser, a drip coffee maker, a carob coffee maker, a grain coffee machine.

The combination of answers to these questions usually hides a clear clue as to what to give. Finding a gift for a coffee lover whose tastes you know is quick and easy. Below are some specific cases.

Ready-made gift ideas for coffee lovers:

1. Turks and everything connected with them. For example, a person loves Turkish coffee, but he doesn’t have a normal Turk - we give a copper Turk! A person loves Turkish coffee and already has a Turk - we are giving an electric Turk, not for home, but it will come in handy for travel. If your budget allows, then you can give a Turk with an automatic shut-off - this is an almost automatic coffee machine for Turkish coffee.

2. Geyser coffee makers/Italy/classic. Maybe the birthday boy was talking about how he liked the coffee from the geyser coffee maker that he drank in Italy? Or does he just love Italian culture and everything connected with this country? If he doesn’t have a geyser yet, we give him a geyser coffee maker.

3. Americano, alternative, black coffee in large portions. A person loves Americano, but makes it anyhow, brewing it ground in a cup, for example. As an option, you can give a good drip coffee maker; this is the most correct device for preparing such a drink.

If a person loves Americano and has a drip coffee maker, we give accessories for alternative brewing methods. In this case, great coffee gifts are: a funnel/hario/pourover, a Chemex (solid!) or an AeroPress (you're an expert!). He will try new facets of a familiar drink and develop his talent as a barista.

Naturally, the same things are suitable for lovers of alternatives as such. But usually they already have such tools. Backup options in this case are special precision scales or a special kettle with a comfortable long spout for even water flow.

A person loves espresso, but due to the lack of technology, he buys it in coffee shops. There is a huge selection here, from relatively inexpensive carob coffee makers to grain machines for 200,000 rubles. As a matter of fact, my site is dedicated to the choice of coffee machines and coffee makers, so I’m sending them directly to the rating of inexpensive but good coffee machines for the home and to the rating of coffee makers under 10,000 rubles.
The recipient loves espresso and already has a carob coffee maker. We give accessories for it. The first and most important thing is a coffee grinder , here you need to additionally find out if you have one. If not, a burr grinder would make a delightful gift. In fact, a coffee grinder is a great gift for lovers of any coffee drinks. Cooking in any way from freshly ground grains is a serious step forward. A coffee grinder is not in favor only if a person has a grain coffee machine.

If an espresso lover already has both a carob coffee maker and a coffee grinder, then there are still enough options in the range of choices: a tamper (but you need to know the diameter of the carob or at least the model of the coffee maker, they are not universal), a knock box, a pitcher (if you like milk drinks ).

A typical milk frother jug.

If the birthday boy likes milk drinks and has a regular carob coffee maker (as in the photo above) , then a separate milk frother would be a wonderful gift. Moreover, the same option works if a person has a coffee machine - a grain machine, but with a manual cappuccino maker.

We approached the owners of grain coffee machines. So, if the machine has a manual cappuccino maker, and milk drinks are in use, then in addition to, again, a separate milk frother, you can get a more budget option - a milk pitcher. Yes, as is the case with owners of carob coffee makers.
The most difficult thing is with the owners of coffee machines - milk machines. A coffee grinder and milk devices will no longer come to the rescue; a tamper and a knock-box are not needed. Then we give away coffee cups!

Coffee cups are generally a universal gift for a coffee lover, but it’s still worth knowing the tastes of the recipient, because different drinks require different cups and giving, for example, a mug for an Americano to an espresso lover is bad manners. Therefore, the ideal option would be, for example, this set of coffee utensils of different sizes from Delonghi made of double-walled glass:

But I think it’s better not to give a capsule coffee maker. You are thereby, perhaps against his will, tying a person to specific capsules, and they are not suitable for everyone, plus in the long run they also eat up the budget, be healthy. A capsule unit is generally not a very universal thing for the home; you need to come to it yourself, assessing all the pros and cons. At the same time, if a person already has a capsule coffee maker and uses it, then a year’s supply of capsules of a suitable system will be appreciated, no doubt.

For coffee lovers. 7 reasons why coffee drinkers live longer

Coffee is one such habit that everyone promises to quit on January 1st. There are many reasons for this. The damage it causes to the body, the coloring properties that appear on tooth enamel, are not a small price to pay...

Fortunately for coffee lovers, there is no urgent need to give up the drink. Research has found that coffee also has great benefits. In fact, 20 studies have shown that people who drink coffee are more likely to live longer than those who quit. As it turned out, those who drink coffee reduce the risk of early death by 14%. Even if you drink decaffeinated coffee, it will not reduce your risk.

Those who want to save money and tooth enamel are surprised. It sounds paradoxical that one of the main passions can be useful. Below are 7 reasons why coffee can increase your lifespan.

Despite all the benefits of coffee, pay attention to 10 negative consequences of drinking coffee

Coffee prevents the risk of seizures

Recent research from the American Heart Association found that those who drink one cup of coffee a day reduce their risk of heart attack by 20% over the next decade. This property was usually attributed to tea.

Coffee prevents heart disease

Thanks to caffeine, coffee has a positive effect on the heart. In reasonable quantities, caffeine is good for the heart by improving metabolism. It not only stimulates the central nervous system, but also breaks down fatty tissue.

Of course, too much caffeine will be harmful. Although, the real impact of this drink on the development of coronary heart disease is questionable.

Drinking coffee reduces the risk of suicide

A 2013 Harvard study found a link between coffee consumption and a reduction in suicide rates. Adults who drank two to four cups of coffee a day were half as likely to commit suicide as those who abstained. The study also showed that the effect was achieved only with a caffeinated drink.

Decaf coffee did not have this effect. Caffeine in small amounts works as a mild antidepressant by promoting the production of more dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine.

Drinking coffee prevents the development of neurological diseases

Coffee helps curb the onset of neurological diseases that usually appear in old age. Some studies have shown that coffee drinkers reduce their risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease by 65%. Some also experienced a 32-60% reduction in the likelihood of developing Parkinson's disease.

Coffee reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes

A 2004 study found that drinking coffee before meals increases the amount of glucose in the body after meals. It has also shown an increase in insulin resistance, which has a positive effect on diabetes prevention.

Consider how it can help offset the effects of smoking cigarettes, although nowadays most people prefer electronic devices. However, coffee has a negative effect on those who already have diabetes. You may be interested in the article 10 interesting facts about diabetes.

Coffee helps the fat burning process

As noted, caffeine affects some metabolic processes. It can enhance metabolism by 3-11% and burn fat tissue more easily. Some studies have shown that it helps burn fat by 10% for obese people and 29% for those who are in shape. Be that as it may, mocha coffee with white chocolate and double cream will not help in the fight against obesity. All the sugar will negate the effect of caffeine.

Drinking coffee helps protect the liver

The liver is a vital organ. Some common diseases can lead to cirrhosis of the liver. The disease disables the liver, turning it into scar tissue. Coffee may help protect the liver from cirrhosis. Those who drink at least 4 cups per day reduce their risk of disease by 80%.

Coffee lovers can rejoice. Your barista is preparing a drink of immortality. Of course, the 15% longevity benefit only works for non-smokers. If you want to reduce the harm from smoking with a cup of coffee, nothing will work.
