It's simple to use: Just add coffee, water and let it steep.” We also recommend Hario's Mizudashi, our favorite cold brew maker.

This graphic poster defines the differences between a macchiato, cortado or latte with an image of each one. You can print it yourself at home, use a local shop or upload it to an online printing service for home delivery. It's the perfect addition to their at-home coffee bar.

Ask any coffee enthusiast and they'll say that Mark Pendergrast's "Uncommon Grounds" is the definitive book on the history of coffee. In nearly 500 compelling pages, he tracks the history of the caffeine-packed bean from its discovery to its status as a luxury good.

This beautifully illustrated A to Z of everything coffee related will be a delight for connoisseurs. It’s authored by UK barista champion Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood, who’s also published "The Business of Specialty Coffee" for those interested in the commercial aspects of coffee.

For people who already own an espresso machine, this useful accessory will enhance their coffee-making experience.

Plus, the rubber sleeve means you can knock out your coffee without waking the whole neighborhood.

Acme has a gorgeous range of simple porcelain cups made in its 100-year-old ceramics factory in Tajimi, Japan. We particularly love these 10-ounce handleless cups that come in two subtle colors.

If you're shopping for someone who's nerdy enough to know what "cupping" is — essentially a standardized coffee tasting — they'll appreciate this spoon. Designed in cooperation with 2016 World Brewers Cup Champion Tetsu Kasuya, it blends elegance and functionality and comes from one of the most respected brands in coffee.

Does the coffee lover you're shopping for need a wave of coffee to wake up? Inspired by the Japanese woodblock print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," this cotton tee was designed by gloopz at Design by Humans and comes in seven colors.

Associate updates writer Maxwell Shukuya used a Moka pot for years. "Even though it technically doesn't make espresso, it's one of the cheapest, low-effort ways to make a latte at home," he says. Since it's made almost entirely of metal, it'll also last for decades. However, keep in mind that the "6-cup" designation is a bit misleading, given it only produces around 9 ounces of (strong) coffee.

For the coffee lover who is also a pet parent, acclaimed barista and latte artist Michael Breach creates custom latte art portraits. “People send me a reference photo of a person or pet and I basically create it by hand and send them stills and a time-lapse video of the creation coming together,” he says.

Having used Kruve products before — including the sifter and EQ coffee glasses — we can confidently say the company produces high-quality goods. Just check out the detail on these espresso glasses, which are made from handblown glass. And thanks to their double-walled construction, your espresso will stay warmer for longer.

“Achieving a uniform density of coffee in the filter before tamping is crucial for a great espresso,” says Celli, who recommends this ingenious, Italian-made tool designed to distribute the ground coffee evenly in the filter. “It's compatible with any portafilter and significantly improves the consistency and quality of coffee extraction.”

Fresh beans are essential for tasty coffee, so a vacuum-sealed storage container is a must-have. The airtight seals on these containers extend the life of your beans so they last longer than if they were stored in the paper bags they come in from the store.

Written by world-famous coffee expert James Hoffmann, this global compendium covers the countries where coffee is grown, the farmers who grow it and the cultures surrounding its consumption. It’s illustrated with color photographs of places that’ll inspire wanderlust in coffee lovers, like Uganda, China, the Philippines, Thailand, Haiti and Puerto Rico.

This is an excellent subscription for people who like variety and surprise. Black & White’s roasting team chooses the coffees for this subscription at the beginning of each month for your home delivery. “They buy exotic naturals and really do a good job sourcing the coffee," Hendon says.

This portable, insulated mug is recommended by Edmonsond. “For a coffee lover on the go, a ceramic-lined, BPA-free travel mug such as those made by Fellow will keep coffee hot, is easy to clean and doesn’t absorb odors," he says. Its gorgeous, sleek design is just a bonus.

This attractive pour-over gift set comes from the Chicago-based coffee makers at Intelligentsia. It comes with the company’s Frequency Blend beans, which promise “hints of golden raisin, raw sugar and molasses.”

Shukuya says the best thing about the Gaggia Classic is its simple construction. "Since parts are widely available and the guts of the machine aren't complicated, anyone can mod, repair or refurbish these machines with a little bit of research," he says.

Pro barista, coffee roaster and latte artist Cortney Kern recommends two grinders by Baratza for coffee aficionados on different budgets. “When you spend a little more, you’ll get less fines in your brew basket. Fines are an enemy because they clog the channel of hot water at the bottom of the brew basket in the filter, which causes overextraction and more bitter cup results," Kern says. "I recommend the Baratza Encore as a starter grinder. But I own a Baratza Forte BG on my counter at home, which uses flat burrs and produces the least amount of fines."

For hardcore coffee lovers, Hendon recommends this professional-quality coffee scale, which he describes as “top of the line.” For a cheaper alternative, he says that he enjoys using the DiFluid Microbalance.

If you’re on the hunt for an espresso machine with a built-in grinder, then this highly rated option from Breville could be a good choice. The grinder has 25 settings and sits on top of the machine to save counter space.
