Brew-tiful gift ideas for coffee lovers
A good quality burr grinder can make a significant difference in the taste of coffee.
Gift giving is not always easy, especially when the receiver is difficult to buy for, or is someone who regularly treats themselves with items they love.
However, when it comes to coffee lovers, there are numerous gifts that can be gifted, ones that can delight the receiver, and if you are working within a budget, ones that will be kind to your pocket as well.
“Coffee lovers know what they love and they can never have too much of it,” comments Thokozane Radebe, brand manager for Douwe Egberts.
“You need to think beyond the standard mug and really open your mind to what being a coffee lover is all about – taste adventures, culinary discoveries and even creative impulses.”
Throw out the overdone mug idea and delve into the following suggestions from Radebe – from one coffee lover to another:
• A pour-over kit includes a dripper, filters, and a kettle. It offers a more hands-on approach to brewing coffee and allows the user to have precise control over the brewing process.
• Also known as a stovetop espresso maker, a Moka pot brews strong, rich coffee by passing boiling water pressurised by steam through ground coffee.
