"Coffee Used to be fuel. Now it's a lifestyle, with its own fashion and deeply entrenched factions of light- and dark-roasters, drips, and shot-pullers. If you're on this page, someone in your life got bit by the coffee bug. WIRED is here to help. Whether the person you love loves pour-over or espresso, there's no shortage of thoughtful gadgets that make excellent gifts for family, friends, or total strangers in a hotly contested white elephant exchange."
"We've included only products and accessories our team has personally tested, vetted, and used to brew their own coffee at home. Our crew of testers includes a long-time coffee writer and reviewer, Matthew Korfhage, and a former barista, Pete Cottell, who learned the black arts from Black Rabbit upon encountering his first La Marzocco espresso machine. So when we say we rep the Subminimal NanoFoamer Pro milk frother ($159) for the espresso lover in your life,"
Coffee has evolved from simple fuel into a lifestyle with distinct factions such as light and dark roasters, drips, and shot-pullers. Thoughtful gadgets and accessories suit both pour-over and espresso preferences and make strong gifts for family, friends, or white elephant exchanges. The team personally tested and vetted every recommended product, including contributions from a long-time coffee writer, Matthew Korfhage, and former barista Pete Cottell. Recommendations include the Subminimal NanoFoamer Pro milk frother ($159) and Podium Coffee Club subscription based on comparative testing. Additional buying guides cover cold-brew makers, espresso machines, portable espresso makers, and cappuccino machines. An update in November 2025 added multiple new items and updated links, prices, and subscriptions.
