Practical Gifts for Making Coffee

What sort of coffee drinker are you shopping for? Do they only drink espresso, or will they take it any way as long as it’s black? We have lots of ideas here to suit different coffee-drinking styles.

Italian Stovetop Coffee Maker

An Italian stovetop coffee maker is a must-have in any Italian household and a great present for lovers of Italian coffee.

Easy to use, maintain, and pretty much indestructible once you know how to care for it, an Italian stovetop coffee maker is a beautiful object. It makes excellent coffee and also comes at a reasonable price point.

• Max Boiler Capacity: 10 (fl. oz.), 300ml
• Comes with 2-year warranty

Buy on Amazon

While an Italian stovetop coffee maker is pretty much indestructible, its gaskets can get ruined. However, the gasket is easy to change and doesn’t cost much: a small number of spares is a nice addition to your gift and will guarantee a much longer life to the stovetop moka you are gifting.

---

Italian Espresso Machine

If you are looking for a bigger gift, such as a wedding present or a significant housewarming gift, then you may want to gift a proper bar-style espresso coffee machine to your coffee lovers.

Espresso machines come in all shapes and sizes, and when choosing one, you have a few things to look out for: the size of the machine itself, the number of cups it can make at the same time, and the type of coffee it takes—coffee beans, coffee grinds, or coffee pods/capsules.

The De’Longhi ECP3420 is a great starting point for your basic at-home espresso maker, but they can range up to our deluxe favourite, the De’Longhi La Specialista!

Buy on Amazon

Nespresso Machine and Pods

Nespresso makes the list of great gifts for coffee lovers thanks to the huge number of coffee varieties and flavors available under the Nespresso umbrella, a variety so significant that it is hard for coffee lovers not to find at least one they truly enjoy.

This is why a Nespresso coffee machine is a great present for people who love to drink coffee.

• Nespresso machines come in two types – pick carefully as Vertuo only takes Nespresso branded pods, whereas with the Nespresso Original Line, you can substitute many other brands.

Buy on Amazon

You can choose between different sizes and varieties, and you can also add a little extra: a tasting tray of pods or a Nespresso subscription so that your loved one never runs out of their favourite potion!

---

Milk Frother

If you want a gift for cappuccino lovers, a milk frother may be just the thing!

A handheld milk frother is a small device that turns a simple glass of milk into a lovely frothy cream you can add to your coffee. Use a small amount for a macchiato or a larger amount for a full cappuccino.

Milk frothers come in all shapes and sizes, and some can be pretty stylish. They make a nice addition to a coffee lover’s kitchen without needing a huge espresso machine with a steaming wand.

Buy on Amazon

Espresso Cups & Saucers

Coffee lovers tend to be fussy about their coffee cups, a little like wine lovers are fussy about having the right glass for the right wine. Indeed, the right container can truly make a difference to the taste of the coffee and the overall coffee experience.

Therefore, designed, beautiful coffee cups can be beautiful gifts for coffee lovers, and thanks to the endless designs and styles available, you have many to choose from.

Buy on Amazon

---

Heat-Resistant Espresso Glasses

Caffe’ al vetro (coffee in a glass cup) is a popular order in Italian bars and is easy to recreate at home if you have the right gear.

While a normal glass will crack with the heat of the coffee, purpose-built espresso glass mugs will showcase the beautiful colour of your brew, maintain the taste intact, and prevent both the glass and your hands from getting damaged by the heat.

If you are buying for someone who loved their caffe al vetro, then a set of glass espresso cups can be a wonderful present.

Buy on Amazon

Coffee Bean Grinder

If you are buying for a coffee connoisseur or someone who loves to taste their coffee in all the possible flavor nuances, then a coffee bean grinder is a great choice. Using whole beans to make coffee and grinding your own allows you to get the freshest coffee possible and helps preserve its taste, making it the method of choice of the savviest coffee drinkers.

However, grinding your own coffee takes time, so a good coffee grinder that makes the process smooth and doesn’t damage the flavor of the beans is a must!

This is one of the most unique gifts for coffee drinkers who want to take their passion to the next level.

Sealed Ground Coffee Container

Keep those coffee grounds fresh! Air and moisture are big enemies of freshly ground coffee, but a well-sealed ground coffee container is all it takes to keep them at bay.

Don’t rely on cheap plastic tubes; any coffee fanatic will tell you the best ones come with a good-quality lid with a gasket suitable for keeping the air out

Buy on Amazon

Temperature-Controlled, Self-Heating Coffee Mug

I think every mama out there completely gets the pain of drinking your hot drink when it’s actually hot!

This temperature-controlled, self-heating mug keeps your brew at the perfect temperature from the first sip to the last drop. Set your ideal temperature via the discreet control panel and enjoy hot coffee exactly how you like it—all morning long. It’s the perfect gift for serious coffee lovers!

• Nextmug lets you choose temperatures from Warm (130°), to Hot (140°), or Piping (150°)

• The Staresso portable coffee maker comes in both black and white
• Max capacity 80 ml

Don’t forget to add their favorite coffee for a complete gift set so they are ready to go!

Ceramic Travel Mug

Another popular option for a lady who is always on the go. Ceramic coffee mugs preserve the coffee’s authentic flavor, keep drinks hot longer, and offer an eco-friendly alternative to disposable cups. The premium drinking experience comes with spill-resistant lids and beautiful designs to match your style—without absorbing odors or flavors from previous beverages.

• These tall mugs from Topadorn hold up to 17 oz and come with a beautiful presentation box, ideal for gifting.

A Supply of Their Favorite Type of Coffee Beans

Real coffee connoisseurs have their own favourite brand of coffee or coffee beans, but their taste often comes at a price: nice beans can be expensive!

I like baking these when I want something with a little edge—strong espresso notes balanced by a soft, moist crumb and just the right amount of sweetness. The flavor is rich without being overpowering, and they pair perfectly with an actual cup of coffee.

Whether you’re making them for a small gathering or just want something different from the usual chocolate cupcake, these are a satisfying, no-fuss option that always get noticed.

So What’s Really Involved in an Espresso Martini?

A cold, coffee-flavored cocktail credited to bartender Dick Bradsell – apparently requested by a prestigious female client who asked for something to “wake her up and f*&% her up“. It’s a real party starter based on coffee and vodka, shaken and drunk straight up in a martini cocktail glass.

You may also hear this cocktail, perhaps more correctly, called a Vodka Espresso.

The key to a successful Espresso Martini (other than perhaps keeping your guests awake!) is the perfect balance of spirits and a lovely creamy froth on top. There are, of course, variations in quantities, like all our cocktail suggestions, you can try to suit your pallet and appearance.

It can be equally great as an introduction to the evening – a pick me up before the party starts – as it is a nightcap.

They are incredibly moreish but also strong, so they are not something you can nurse all evening, but they are definitely one of our dinner party favourites.

So however you like it, or whatever legend you believe, here’s our absolute classic recipe for Espresso Martini, then let’s take a deeper look at variations and how to improve your concoction, certain to sprite up a party!

Tools You Will Need to Make an Espresso Martini

• Espresso coffee maker – coffee grinds or coffee pods
• Cocktail shaker
• Jigger
• Martini glasses to serve

Espresso Martini Recipe Variations

There is so much fun you can have adapting this recipe to your personal tastes.

Decaf Martini

This is the most obvious variation, especially when you have your Espresso Martini as a nightcap. We have not found any difference in taste or texture using decaf pods.

Tia Maria

Tia Maria is also a coffee liqueur; you may split potions between Kahlua and Tia Maria, but you may want to balance the use of both with more vodka.

Sweeten It Up? Add Sugar Syrup

It’s super simple to make sugar syrup: one part golden caster sugar and one part boiling water. Those with a sweet tooth or who would normally add sugar to their coffee will like this adaptation. Depending on the size of your glass, you may need to adjust other quantities accordingly.

Mocha Martini?

Ooooh, yes, this is definitely one for your sweet tooth or non-coffee lover. Substitute the coffee liqueur for a dark chocolate liqueur. As another variant, you can top it with a marshmallow and even rub chocolate shavings around the rim.

Problems in Making Your Espresso Martini

The most common complaint is there’s not enough froth. A perfectly layered espresso martini will be finished off with a velvety layer of froth of about 1/4 of an inch.

The lack of froth upon straining probably means you have not shaken your espresso martini enough. We are not looking for a vigorous shake it, but it definitely needs a little elbow work. If your first batch lacks the froth, try shaking for 30 seconds longer next time

So Why is There Controversy About Calling it a Martini?

The classics call for a martini made from gin. We’ve tried it with gin, and hmm, no, this isn’t one that you can adapt. The botanical goodness of gin simply doesn’t work with the bitterness of coffee.

The shape of the glass, too, may be variable. A classic martini should be served in a V-shape glass, but even we’ve been guilty of using a wine or coupe glass, anything on hand, really!

You’d be surprised just how much conjecture there is about the “perfect way” to make your iced coffee—other than the traditional mama method of brewing your coffee and forgetting about it until three hours later….

I won’t claim to be complete traditionalist; If the craving hits and you want that iced coffee NOW! then you’ll need to accept freshly brewed coffee and ice. A super simple brew to make at home with that magical extra touch of Baileys, I suspect this may become a favorite for you too!

• Coffee maker of your choice (I love my De’Longhi Nespresso for this)

A deliciously refreshing treat on a hot day, Mama’s Baileys Iced Coffee recipe is a fun afternoon treat that combines two of my favorite ingredients—Baileys and Coffee!

• Total Time: 5 minutes
• Yield: 1 1x

Ingredients

2 oz Baileys

1 cup of ice cubes

1 cup of freshly brewed coffee (cooled if possible – or 2 Nespresso capsules with chilled milk)

Whipped cream (optional)

Chocolate syrup (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Brew coffee and set aside
2. Add ice cubes to your shaker
3. Add Baileys and Coffee
4. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds
5. Pour into a tall glass (including ice)
6. Optionally top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup if desired
7. Best drunk through a wide straw

Notes

• For a creamier alternative, I suggest the Nespresso machine alternate which is 2 portions of Ristretto (makes approximately 2.8 oz/80 ml) combined with 4 oz (120 ml) chilled low-fat milk.
• I find that Bailey’s and milk makes this recipe sweet enough, but if you’d prefer you can add one tab or teaspoon of your sweetener of choice.

Baileys Irish Cream Questions

Can I substitute a different Irish cream?

Yes, for sure. Baileys is a brand name we’re all familiar with, but Irish Cream can be made at home. Several other leading brands, including Kerrygold or Carolans, are also available, which we’d happily substitute in our Baileys recipes.

What is Baileys Iced Coffee Cold Brew?

This is a pre-mix can of Baileys Iced Coffee made by Diageo, sold in liquor stores. You can certainly give it a try though like most pre-packaged alcoholic drinks we find it a little sweeter than we’d make on our own. They are not available in all countries.

To whipped cream or to not?!

Totally up to you! It is a moderately healthier (ie. less calorific) drink (so we can have more, right?) if we leave off the whipped cream topping, but we know some will argue it’s simply not an iced coffee without it!

Variations on the Baileys Iced Coffee

If you’d still like non-alcoholic iced coffee, head over and check out Marta’s Italian Shakerato recipe! This is a perfect outside sip on a hot summer’s day.

Another favorite of ours is to enjoy a Flat White Baileys Martini. Again Baileys and iced coffee are the start in this stunning and sophisticated evening sip (basically putting it in a martini glass just means you’ve moved from your morning mug to something more classy at night, right?)
