My 3 Favorite Father’s Day Coffee Gifts

If you’re on a stricter budget, skip down to the coffee mug ideas for thoughtful gifts that won’t cost you much but still stay on theme for a coffee lover. However, I wanted to start the lineup with my three favorite coffee gift recommendations that any serious coffee brewer will love and use daily.

Other Top Coffee Gifts For Dad

If none of those three gifts above spoke to you or perhaps you want to scroll through more options, here are some of the other top dad gifts I found.

Coffee Subscription Box

You have many options when it comes to giving Dad a coffee subscription. As a coffee geek, I would recommend seeing if any of his favorite roasters have a yearly subscription, which often includes a discount.

However, if you need something quickly or value the idea of a gift box with more presentation, something like the Atlas Coffee Club World of Coffee Gift Box is a fantastic idea.

Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker

Especially if he travels a lot, the AeroPress Coffee Maker is a perfect way to maintain your coffee geek routine on the road. As a musician, I travel regularly and almost always have my hand grinder and an AeroPress with me!

Chemex Classic Series Pour-Over Glass Coffeemaker

If the dad in your life is a coffee geek, chances are that he may already own the classic Chemex Coffee Maker. However, if that is not the case, let this certified coffee geek assure you that this elegant pour-over brewer should be in any specialty coffee lover’s kitchen!

Burr Coffee Grinder

While blade grinders do make fresher coffee than pre-ground bags, they often cause more problems than they solve. So if you want to get a generous Father’s Day coffee gift, consider buying a burr coffee grinder. You can either upgrade whatever Dad currently has if your budget is higher or choose an entry-level burr grinder if he doesn’t yet own one.

French Press Coffee Maker

French Press coffee is a classic immersion method that produces bold and flavorful coffee. If the father you’re shopping for doesn’t own one already, this can be a perfect brewer to introduce something new into their coffee routine.

**Premium Option: Fellow Clara Insulated French Press

Reusable Coffee Cup

If you’re looking for something more interesting than the standard coffee mug, consider a reusable coffee cup like the KeepCup Toughened Glass Cup which looks stylish and has a comfortable cork band grip.

Smart Coffee Mug Warmer

If you know a dad who is constantly trying to heat coffee to the perfect temperature, consider this Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug. It will keep Dad’s coffee at the most delicious temperature no matter how long it takes to drink it!

Cold Brew Coffee Maker

One of the best aspects of making cold brew coffee at home is that you can brew it in pretty much anything—a mason jar, French Press, or any container. However, a dedicated cold brewer can help the coffee geek in your life dial in that perfectly smooth flavor. Plus, it makes filtering and cleanup easy!

Gooseneck Electric Kettle

Gooseneck kettles are unnecessary for all brewing methods, however, it is a must-have item if you brew pour-over coffee at home. So, if your special father normally brews his pour over with a standard kettle, consider gifting something with a controlled pour like this COSORI Electric Gooseneck Kettle.

**Fancy Premium Option: Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle

Specialty Coffee Gift Basket

Here is another option for a special coffee lover to discover new beans and geek out on the details of origin, roast, and tasting notes. These variety packs are perfect for someone who enjoys the details of brewing and extracting unique flavors with each bean.

Coffee Storage Canister

Airtight coffee storage containers are often overlooked even by coffee geeks who buy fancy whole beans and grind them right before brewing. The truth is that without proper storage, the delicious flavors in coffee beans diminish quickly.

So, if the dad you’re shopping for does not have an airtight container, consider gifting my favorite model, the Fellow Atmos.

Manual Coffee Grinder

Whether you think they might enjoy a more hands-on approach to coffee making or they can bring it on the road while traveling, a manual hand grinder is a thoughtful gift for dad. I bring my Hario Skerton Grinder and AeroPress on every trip. Besides portability, the benefit of a hand grinder is that you get fantastic grind quality (even particles) for a fraction of the price.

Handheld Milk Frother

No matter how they brew at home, you can elevate Dad’s coffee game with a handheld milk frother for lattes and cappuccinos. You can go super simple and affordable with a model like the Zulay Frother or something more fancy like this Maestri House Rechargeable Milk Frother.

Coffee Brewing Scale

A brewing scale allows you to measure the exact amount of coffee and water by mass instead of volume. This makes coffee recipes precise so you can easily replicate your delicious results. There are fancier scales out there, however, I usually recommend this Hario Pour Over Scale.

Turkish Coffee Gift Set

Turkish coffee is a unique and historical way of brewing. It is also a method that many specialty coffee lovers tend to overlook, so this may end up being the perfect gift for someone to explore a new method while connecting to the long history of coffee.

Home Coffee Roaster

If you’re shopping for someone who already has tons of coffee equipment, a home coffee roaster may be the next step for them.

Coffee-Themed Apparel

While funny coffee mugs are the classic dad gift, consider giving a T-shirt or hoodie that has a coffee-related quote on it.

Coffee Flavoring Syrups

While not a typical specialty coffee product, coffee syrups can work for someone who enjoys making espresso-based drinks or otherwise wants to experiment with new flavors.

Coffee Table Book

What is a better coffee-themed gift than a coffee table book about coffee!? It may not be Kramer’s coffee table book about coffee tables, but a book like James Hoffmann’s is perfect for a coffee geek.

Runner Up: This Blue Bottle Craft of Coffee book was also fantastic and visually beautiful!

Barista Training Class

Especially if he already has espresso equipment at home, consider enrolling Dad in an online barista training class to master his coffee-making skills. Popular options include:

• Udemy Barista Training Course
• Barista One – Course & Certification

Coffee Cocktail Book

Why limit coffee consumption to the mornings and afternoons? With a coffee cocktail book like Jason Clark’s The Art & Craft of Coffee Cocktails, Dad can experiment with tons of coffee-based cocktail recipes!

Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Maker

Nitro cold brew has a slightly sweeter flavor and creamy texture, and it is usually something you can only get at a coffee shop. However, some products like the Royal Brew System infuse and dispense nitro cold brew at home.

Coffee Quotes and Father’s Day Coffee Mug Ideas

Of course, if you want to keep it simple, you can always go with the classic coffee mug gift. You can go the serious route with something exclaiming how your dad is the best, or more likely, go the humorous route with a funny quote or saying.
