Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine
Jason recently gave this to me as an early Christmas present and since receiving it last weekend, I’ve made multiple drinks. I have fallen in love with using it and the touch screen is pretty unbelievable. Since I used to go to Starbucks all the stinking time, this thing has save me quite a bit of money so far. I’m not driving to the nearest store just to get one. One of my favorite things about this machine is how I can customize my own drinks from the size of the grind setting to how much froth I’d like my oat milk to be. Right now it’s on sale for $800 on Amazon for Cyber Monday and it’s about $200 cheaper than what we paid for it a few weeks ago. Hurry and grab a Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine today to add to your coffee bar!
CASABREWS Espresso Machine
Not sure if you’d like to spend that kind of money on an espresso machine but you’d like to try one. Then look no further as there are others to try out there like this CASABREWS Espresso Machine. This was a big contender for me to add to my coffee bar, especially the Sapphire Blue color which I absolutely love. I’m actually thinking of adding it to our camper since I can no longer live without my specialty drinks when we are on vacation. One thing that makes this a great machine is that it’s compact, stylish and has 20 bars of pressure which is a good thing to have. Plus, they are a US-based company which provides excellent customer service.
Jordan’s Skinny Syrups
I found Jordan’s Skinny Syrups a few years ago and they have been a staple in my coffee bar since then. I have tried many other sugar free syrups in the past but I just don’t like them. The Skinny Syrups have become my absolute favorite and they don’t taste any different than sugared ones. Some of my favorite syrups that I keep on hand are Caramel, Butter Toffee, Iced Cinnamon Roll, Salted Caramel in Jumbo Size, Vanilla in Jumbo Size, and Brown Sugar Cinnamon.

Breville Grind Control Coffee Maker
If you’re not into making the fancy kind of drinks and just like to keep your coffee real but fresh, then check out the Breville Grind Control Coffee Maker. We have had ours for a few months and we absolutely love it. I had it on my Crate & Barrel wishlist for over a year and Jason surprised me with it. But we got ours from Amazon and I think it’s worth the extra money to get fresh ground coffee. We will often times just get Eight O’Clock Beans or we may get some from Wegman’s depending on what I find.
To Go Cups (Hot & Cold)
I know that this may seem like a waste of money but for some reason having coffee in disposable cups make it taste better. I am often times on the go and love to toss the cup after I am finished with the coffee if it’s cold. My favorite cold cups are made by Stack Man. I either get the ones that have the flat top for straws or the strawless ones. The last order I made I got the 20 oz ones and I honestly prefer the 24 oz ones. But I’m tempted on getting the 16 oz ones to add to my options when making coffees for friends and family. I make iced coffee the most and that’s why I continue to buy these and same for friends too. For my hot ones, I just normally will put into my Yeti tumbler or Stanley Tumbler so the cup will stay hot longer.
Aeropress
As someone who travels often and who loves to have espresso even while on vacation, the Aeropress has become a new favorite. I purchased my Aeropress a few months ago and use it when I’m in a rush or when we are traveling. It’s honestly one of the easier items to make quality espresso on the go. I love how you can use it to make espresso, coffee, cold brew and I think it’s 10x easier than using a french press. The convenience of having the Aeropress is perfect and easy to pack when we are on the go. No worries about not getting quality, grit-free coffee and low-acidic coffee without losing the delicious flavor!
There are so many other things that would make any coffee lover fall in love with out there, but these are the ones I wanted to share with you. I hope that this gift guide will help you find the coffee lover in your life the perfect present.
