We all know somebody who can't make it through the day without their caffeine fix – and who can be evangelical about the beans, grinders, machines and even cups they use to drink it.
Instant or cheap filter coffee simply isn't good enough for this person – it's expensive, hand-ground organic beans put through the finest grinders and placed into beautiful, professional grade coffee machines only.
You can even invest in luxury milk frothers to make sure that your made-at-home coffee is just as good as you'd get in any restaurant or cafe.
If you're not yet a coffee expert, you're probably also used to drinking from flimsy paper coffee-shop cups, reusable plastic containers or battered office mugs. But if you're serious about becoming a coffee connoisseur, the vessel from which you get your hit is just as important, with beautiful ceramic flasks, or exquisite glass or stainless steel mugs all a worthy replacement.
So if you have a coffee lover in your life and you're puzzling over what to get them this Christmas – or you want to indulge your inner coffee buff – let us help you out with this gallery of beautiful and luxurious gifts for coffee snobs.
