Buying for a coffee lover? Skip the novelty mugs and go for something they’ll actually want to unwrap. Whether they’re a beans-before-breakfast kind of person or just love a good brew on a slow Sunday, here are the best Christmas gift ideas for coffee lovers – featuring our favourite picks from the Essenza range.
Stock their pantry with the best beans
Coffee drinkers are always chasing that perfect cup. Help them get there with a fresh supply of small-batch roasted beans from right here in New Zealand.
Essenza’s Diavolo is a fan favourite for a reason. Big, bold and complex, it’s ideal for anyone who enjoys a strong, dark roast with character. Prefer something a little smoother? Velluto is beautifully balanced, with mellow notes and a velvety finish.
Want to really spoil them? Gift a coffee subscription and let the beans keep coming all year.
Give them the tools of the trade
Even the best beans need a good setup. Whether your coffee lover is an espresso diehard or a French press fanatic, there’s an accessory to suit.
Ideas that always hit the mark:
-
A digital scale for perfect brewing ratios
-
A grinder for freshly ground beans every time
-
A reusable coffee cup for stylish sipping on the go
You’ll find a curated range of gear on the Essenza site, including machine-and-subscription bundles for those ready to upgrade their home setup.
Don’t forget the chocolate
No coffee-themed gift is complete without something sweet to go with it. The West Coast Cocoa range makes it easy, with hot chocolate blends that feel like a warm hug in a mug.
The Deluxe Hot Chocolate is a must-have. Rich and complex, it’s crafted with premium Dutch cocoa from West Africa, with deep chocolate notes and a smooth finish. There’s also Caramel, Peppermint, and Mayan Chilli if you want to branch out.
It’s an easy stocking stuffer, or pair it with a bag of beans for a simple but thoughtful gift bundle.
Create a complete coffee experience
If you want to go all out, why not build a custom coffee hamper? Choose a few of your favourite Essenza beans, add a West Coast Cocoa, and pop in a few small extras – think a cute spoon, a biscuit tin, or even a coffee-scented candle. Wrap it up with a handwritten note and you’ve just given them their new favourite morning ritual.
