Top 50 Best Coffee Gifts For Coffee Lovers In The UK 2022

For many individuals, coffee is just a casual sip in the am. But for some, it is a passion, a personality attribute, a pastime — a lifestyle.

For hardcore coffee enthusiasts, a morning cup of coffee is about more than simply caffeine (although it is obviously vital). 

It’s the morning routine. The sound of whole beans grinding, the delicious aroma of brewing coffee — even waiting for the cup to complete is all part of the ‘coffee experience’.

But they also have different types: there’s the stereotypical coffee shop brooder in need of a pick-me-up tonic. Or what about the hyperactive, workout-obsessed early bird?

They could certainly use a personal cafetière in their hard-at-it existence, and the do-it-yourself artist could be interested in a domestic cold-brew kit.

Here at Balance, we are mad about coffee and have had the chance to try a variety of coffee-themed items. 

So we decided to put together a list of 50 of our all-time favourite Gifts For Coffee Lovers UK that we have either given or received!

Whether you’re shopping for a utilitarian or an epicurean, you can’t go wrong with a classic, brown Hasami mug.

Also what better way to enjoy your fix of the dark, brown liquid than in a wholesome and wide mug?

Hasami is a Japanese ceramics firm that has been producing porcelain objects for over 400 years.

The Cafflano Klassic has everything needed to brew and store coffee, including a porcelain burr grinder, a boiler, a chrome filter dripper, an insulated tumbler, and a cover.

“I got it for one of my colleagues who is often on the road as a performer, and he loves it.” 

The Klassic has also received favourable feedback from customers, who note that it is lightweight and practical and that it can be used anywhere.

New York Coffee Mug

One of the most awesome gifts for coffee lovers in London, this NYC coffee mug is a must-have if your loved one is a fan of New York, or has even just lived there for some part of their life.

This porcelain rendition of the traditional NYC takeout cup will transport them to New York City.

With this unique invention, the famous New York coffee cup is memorialised in eternally reusable porcelain. 

The clearly recognizable blue and white Greek theme, once a feature of every corner deli, is gradually vanishing from city streets. 

The long-lasting design outlasts the old-fashioned paper version while yet retaining a uniquely urban vibe. 

This hilarious recreation of an outstanding original is a must-have for any city dweller who enjoys their coffee.

It only goes for about £13.00, making it one of the more economical gifts for coffee lovers UK.

Barista Oat Milk

Do you want to break through the clutter and surprise your best friend with a unique coffee gift? Then you’d be happy to dive into our barista oat milk and coffee bundles!

Oat milk is also high in proteins and other nutrients, which makes it a good choice to add to your diet. 

Balance Coffee also has excellent oat milk from Rebel Kitchen, which is a terrific alternative for you or your coffee-loving friends. 

We love oat milk (read this blog to find out why), and after a lot of taste testing, we discovered that their Barista Oat Mylk goes great with our coffees. 

Rebel Kitchen’s Barista Mylk was developed in collaboration with world-renowned coffee expert James Hoffmann.

This alone makes it one of the best coffee gifts for coffee lovers in the UK!

It’s the only plant-based alternative that tastes and works like dairy milk, and its velvety texture and tight microfoam make it ideal for long-lasting latte art.

You may either buy Mylk or order your favourite specialty coffee and oat milk in one convenient box! 

We’ll mail the Level Up Blend and our top-rated Stability Blend since they complement the Rebel Kitchen Oat Mylk excellently. 

 

Chemex Glass Coffee Maker

 

Know someone who’s really precise about his/her brewing methods and wants nothing but the best? Enter the Chemex Glass Coffee Maker. 

This original eight-cup glassware Chemex is a masterpiece and one of the, most spectacular gifts for coffee lovers UK for coffee brewing!

According to Yasmina Palumbo, co-owner of Mud Coffee in New York City, it would make a good present for anyone interested in the “process” of producing pour-over coffee. 

“My boyfriend swears by the Chemex glass,” she says. “It has a nice appearance and was designed by a chemist.”

“He likes the act of heating water and pouring it over the rice, as well as the pleasant flavour it produces.” 

The chief roaster at Oslo Roasters, John Bettencourt, is an admirer, telling us that you don’t have to be a barista or a coffee fanatic to create good coffee with a Chemex.

“It’s easy to operate, attractive, and the specifically manufactured paper filters help to produce a really clean cup of coffee.”

 

Hay Sowden Coffee Pot

Hay Snowden Coffee Pot is one of our top recommendations for gifts for coffee lovers UK.

Constructed from multicoloured porcelain and featuring a “micro-thin” stainless-steel filter to dissolve coffee grinds into hot water, Hay’s Sowden Coffee Pot is recommended by Connie Blumhardt, publisher of Roast magazine. 

“It’s easy to use and makes a well-balanced brew,” she says. “I like the clean lines and neutral colour combinations.” 

“It transports me to Europe.” Joe Palozzi of City of Saints Roasters is another enthusiast of this coffee maker, and not just for the taste of its brew.

“While it has the flavour of a French press, it’s far easier to maintain thanks to its detachable micro-filter,” he explained, adding that the pot “looks very lovely on the countertop with daffodils in it, too, just in case you ever stop brewing coffee at home.”

You can get a Hay Snowden Coffee Pot for your loved one here.

Collapsible Reusable Metal Straw

 

If they can’t stomach sipping their iced coffee via paper straws, this coated steel washable straw helps decrease waste while they savour.

Collapsible metal straws are also one of the best gifts for coffee lovers UK that are environmentally conscious. 

The benefit of these is that they are large enough to suck up the heaviest milkshake while being compact enough to fit in your handbag or pocket. 

Are you a boba fan? They’ve got your back. 

These straws are particularly made for all of the bubble coffee aficionados out there, with the slanted tip and perforated piece on the bottom. 

Besides folding for portability, they also come with a nice carrying bag for added convenience.

What’s more, there are seven colour combinations for this collapsible straw-bag pair! You can find out more about this here.

 

Coffee Magazine Subscription

You must be thinking, coffee magazine subscriptions? How boring. But think about this, aspiring baristas and coffee enthusiasts sometimes just want information and knowledge!

And these magazines, my friends, are an excellent source for getting your hands on key tips and tricks for the coffee business 

Caffeine and Standart are two of our preferences. 

Standart is the one for you if you believe the receiver will appreciate gorgeous design and a well-designed magazine that will be utilised as a coffee table book. 

Caffeine mag is an excellent pick if they are a coffee snob who enjoys experimenting with grind size and water temperature in their french press recipe.

On the other hand, barista-turned-coffee-instructor Erica Jackson advocates gifting a subscription to the quarterly journal Coffee People for ongoing coffee-related books. 

According to her, it’s an excellent method to stay up to date on the latest and greatest industry arguments and advances. 

It will “transport coffee enthusiasts beyond their daily routine and into the collective creative brilliance of the global business,” she says.

 

Coffee Bags

For people who like to put things off until the last minute or are short on time, coffee bags are a great way to get their dose of caffeine on the go.

The undeniable practicality of coffee filter bags, along with the usage of coffee grounds instead of instant coffee, make it an appealing coffee gift. 

Although coffee bags were previously mainly seen in hotel rooms and business gatherings, there has recently been a huge surge in quality items. 

Many new coffee companies have lately emerged, each with its unique coffee bag.

But if you’re looking for the best of the best Coffee gifts London, you should not miss our collection of coffee bags.

We have exciting single-origin coffee coupled with exotic blends that will make your loved ones go “Wow” at the first gulp!

 

A Chic Filter Display

If your coffee snob friends utilise many methods to brew their espresso, they would definitely enjoy a better way to arrange all those filters. 

All of the filters for a conventional coffee machine, a French Press, and a pour-over dripper are neatly stored in the Unibene Bamboo Coffee Filter Holder.

This holder gathers all of those filters in one spot for quick access, regardless of the gadget they’re brewing with. 

Simply place the holder vertically on a surface or hang it on a rack using the slot on the back. 

In any case, it’s a really handy technique to guarantee that your filters are always ready.

And it’s far more appealing than that haphazard stack of cardboard boxes!

 

Coffee Storage Container

Coffee beans should be kept in an airtight container somewhere cold and dry to keep them fresh. The ceramic containers from Airscape are ideal.

They make an excellent coffee gift for coffee enthusiasts, especially if they consume a lot of coffee. 

Many roasters are increasingly choosing for bags that may be readily recycled or composted, which usually means forgoing the bag’s valve.

The jars, which are available in small (5.25 inches by 4 inches) and larger (5.25 inches by 7 inches) sizes or as a pair, are exactly the appropriate size for the moderate coffee user, coffee fanatic, or somebody who wants to have several bean alternatives. 

To keep the grounds fresh, the vacuum seal forces air out. 

And, with their clean lines and bamboo lids, they’ll look great on a tabletop or kitchen shelf!

 

Cupping Spoons

For true coffee aficionados, who want to master the art of coffee cupping.

Coffee cupping is the practise of sampling and assessing the overall quality of a batch of coffee. 

A process mostly used by coffee producers and distributors, coffee cupping has gained a lot of traction and is taken quite seriously.

It’s also an excellent way for aspiring coffee connoisseurs to expand their palette and learn more about the many nuances of coffee. 

In bigger cities, there are many coffee cupping gatherings hosted by specialty coffee roasters that wish to demonstrate their current coffee menu or expose consumers to specialty coffee. 

The right way to taste coffee is to line up the cups of coffee and suck and taste the coffee using a cupping spoon. 

Cupping spoons make for an excellent present for the coffee connoisseur who likes attempting to identify flavour nuances in his daily pour-over coffee!

You should also check out this Hario cupping spoon if you’re looking for coffee gifts for men.

 

Coffee Tamper

Does the coffee enthusiast in your life own a home Aeropress? 

If so, a fresh new coffee tamper might be a fantastic, one-of-a-kind coffee gift to blow him/her away with the thoughtfulness.

The coffee tamper is used to compress the ground coffee in the portafilter basket so that the water may extract the coffee uniformly. 

Although a lot of home coffee machines have a coffee tamper, they are typically simple and inexpensive. 

There is a vast selection of coffee tampers available online in a variety of pricing ranges, functions, and sizes (the size of the basket differs between each machine). So don’t simply buy the first one you come across.

Check out this coffee tamper we at Balance especially like. 

 

Gooseneck Coffee Kettle

Do you know that you can take filter coffee to new heights with the gooseneck coffee kettle?

If you’re looking for filter Coffee lover gifts UK, a gooseneck coffee kettle might be just what your coffee connoisseur needs. 

The kettle’s neck enables more regulated water pouring, which is required in most filter coffee processes. 

If your recipient enjoys pour-over filter coffee, this may be the finest coffee gift they’ve ever received. 

Choose from a variety of functionality, such as electric or stovetop, as well as various styles and materials, which make it possible to reap various coffee health benefits.

You can buy a Gooseneck Coffee Kettle for the best price here.

 

‘The World Atlas of Coffee,’ by James Hoffman

Hoffmann, the writer of the World Atlas of Coffee, won the World Barista Competition in Japan in 2007. 

He is a coffee magnate and has lately attained vlogging stardom by imparting his wisdom on YouTube.

Our founder presents this coffee book to his staff mates on a regular basis and believes that any habitual drinker would like it. 

“It’s the best coffee overview I’ve seen,” he says. “It educates you about different coffee sources and what distinguishes each one.” 

He also claims that after reading the book, anytime he is served a new sort of coffee, he can place it within the context of its origin.

“If you say I should try this freshly roasted coffee from Uganda,” he continues, “I’d know Uganda normally produces non-specialty arabica beans, but there has been an increase in local coffee shops there developing specialised blends recently.”

You can check out ‘The World Atlas of Coffee’ here.

 

Home Coffee Roaster

Coffee roasting is both an art and a science. 

Green coffee is imported into the nation before industrial and local coffee roasters turn the fresh coffee beans into the delightfully balanced roasted coffee that we buy from shops and cafés. 

If your receiver is a do-it-yourselfer, you can now get them a home coffee roaster so they may experiment with and manufacture roasted coffee from crude beans. 

In the home coffee roaster market, there is a wide variety in price and usefulness. Starting with a porcelain pan that you simply roast coffee in on the stove, you may progress to industry-grade sample roasters that link to an app. 

It’s all up to you how far you would like to push it!

Check out these home coffee roasters as one of the best gifts for coffee lovers UK 2022.

Here are 30 more instant coffee gifts that are modern and innovative. 

Chances are that you’re looking to give a couple of more innovative gifts to your friends – luckily here, you can dive into the carefully curated list to find the perfect one. 

From our cafetiere and coffee gift set UK to other coffee accessories, the possibilities are truly endless. 

Origami Sensory Cup

The ORIGAMI Sensory Cup was created to enhance the sensory experience of coffee. 

The scent of the coffee inside the mug is retained and captured by its uniquely crafted form. 

The ORIGAMI dripper is made of Mino ceramic and reflects 400 years of rich heritage in top-quality ceramicware created in the Toki district of the Gifu district. 

Brewing Tournament participants love these colourful and eye-catching drippers.

James Hoffman claims to have given this sampling cup to colleagues and industry professionals (including himself) who are striving to better their brews. 

“I use mine for filter coffee; others use it for espresso shots,” he says, explaining that the “vaseline form intensifies the smells in the cup and drives them up into your nose.” 

You can get one here.

Fellow Shimmy Coffee Sieve

Fellow’s newest invention is a sieve that eliminates micro-sized particles from ground coffee. 

This coffee sieve removes all particles less than 200 microns for a much more consistent grind, resulting in more accurate extraction, increased clarity, and more subtle tastes.

“It’s a terrific way to enhance your home coffee-making game,” James Hoffman explains. “It produces a lot better consistency, a neater cup, and more delicious coffee.”

It’s also inexpensive and simple to maintain. “All you have to do is rinse it out.”

You can get one here.

AeroPress Go Travel Coffee Press

Balance coffee enthusiasts are infatuated with the classic AeroPress—one of the greatest gadgets for creating extremely good coffee on the go because it uses only ground beans and boiling water.

It provides coffee enthusiasts with all they need to conveniently brew excellent coffee anywhere. 

The AeroPress Go, like the AeroPress Original, makes Americano, espresso, and french press style coffee that may be enjoyed alone or in a variety of energetic and refreshing cocktails. 

Making espresso on the go is the easiest with the AeroPress Go, owing to the bundled container that carries all of the components (stirrer, scoop, and filters). 

Furthermore, because the Go is small, it fits well into a vacation stocking and ships easily.

You can get one here.

Brewsense Drip Coffee Maker

The Braun Brewsense, which is reasonably priced, is the finest drip coffee maker we tried.

The glass FlavorCarafe of Braun’s BrewSense 12-Cup Drip Espresso Machine keeps in fresh taste by reducing air contact.

The PureFlavor technology brews the coffee at precisely the appropriate temperature and duration to extract the most flavour and fragrance. 

You know your loved one is going to get a delicious cup of savoury delight the instant the lovely fragrance of freshly brewed coffee fills the air. 

In addition, the elegant stainless steel finish would look great in any kitchen.

You can get one here.

Speciality Coffee Pods

We’re not talking about ordinary coffee pods, mind you.

The only coffee pods we recommend are Grind coffee pods, which besides being the OG, also contain the highest quality coffee compared to their competitors.

Coffee pods have received a lot of flak in the coffee industry in recent years, whether it’s because of the climate, ethics, or value. 

Grind was launched in 2011 after David Abrahamovitch decided to convert his father’s Shoreditch mobile phone shop into a café-bar. 

Grind has subsequently evolved to become a cult east London coffee brand. 

It presently has eleven locations, including espresso shops, cocktail bars, restaurants, a professional recording studio, and a cutting-edge coffee roastery. 

Grind is still situated in Shoreditch and currently employs about 200 people, with the majority of its investors becoming Grind regulars and friends all across the world over the years.

Temperature Control Smart Mug 2

As if the 1 wasn’t good enough.

If you want to maintain your coffee at a constant temperature all through the day, the Ember is a good premium option.

Ember’s unique technology allows you to precisely control the temperature of your hot cup of coffee, allowing you to enjoy it from the first sip to the last drop.

It keeps your beverage at the perfect temperature for up to 1.5 hours with the Ember Mug2 10 oz and up to 80 minutes with the Ember Mug2 14 oz. 

It is also dishwasher safe and stays functional up to 1 meter in water.

You can get one for your loved one here.

Porcelain Cow Creamer

This porcelain cow creamer will make the dairy (or certainly non-dairy) experience a delight, whether the person on your list weakens their cup of coffee with half-and-half, soy milk, or French Vanilla Latte Mate (no shade). 

And what if you misjudged them and the receiver prefers their coffee black? 

We’re sure this cow would be delighted to double as a devoted distributor of porridge milk, stew, or salad vinaigrette!

One of the best gifts for coffee lovers UK 2022 in our list, you can get this cute cow here!

Nespresso Aeroccino4 Milk Frother

With the Nespresso Aeroccino 4 Milk Frother, you can make more and more of your favourite coffee-shop beverages at home. 

The stylish electric frother pitcher makes two types of hot milk froth: light for cappuccino and denser for latte macchiato. 

Simply press a button to pick your preferred milk preparation and enjoy it in as little as 80 seconds. 

To make cleanup easier, the steel jug is placed directly in the washer. 

Jordan Sanchez, a Blue Bottle Soho barista, told us he’d want to get this Nespresso milk frother so he can prepare beverages like cortados at home. 

“This would be ideal for an apartment,” he comments. “The craftsmanship is excellent, and it looks great on the counter.”

Chocolate Coffee Beans

Take it from me: chocolate-covered coffee beans are dangerously irresistible. 

Get two packets, so give one to a friend and keep one for yourself (they won’t know). 

As a snack or pleasure, several artisanal stores now sell chocolate-covered coffee beans. They also make excellent Christmas coffee presents in chilly winters!

The silky and sweet chocolate on the outside balances out the harsh and bitter coffee on the inside. 

Coffee beans can be eaten in a variety of ways, such as a topping over ice cream. 

To balance out the bitterness, they generally combine nicely with sweet meals.

Being so versatile, chocolate-covered coffee beans are the ideal gifts for coffee lovers UK and chocolate enthusiasts.

Concrete Hexagon Coasters

These stylish interlocked coasters will safeguard your work or coffee table from water marks and coffee stains.

Protect your tables, add some style to your decoration, and start a discussion about your excellent spill protection taste. 

Non-slip rubber backs and brilliant glossy designs will complement any cup, glass, or mug. Decorative beverage coasters are so appealing that they may even improve the flavour of your beverages (not really).

The bottom of each coaster is coated with cork to protect surfaces from scratches. These coasters are delicately coated to keep the beauty of the concrete and to prevent water staining.

You can get your hands on some here.

 

Top 40 Coffee Lover Gift Sets In The UK 2022

Finally, here is our exclusive list of 40 more coffee gifts that will (hopefully) make it easier for you to make a choice!

Read on if you’re looking for coffee for two gift set or even coffee for one gift set.

 

Manual Coffee Grinder

One of the most unusual coffee presents for coffee enthusiasts is a portable grinder. 

If your recipient appreciates their daily coffee and the process of brewing it, then freshly ground coffee will blow their mind. 

Investing in a portable grinder is a terrific way to get started with freshly ground coffee. 

A simple electric grinder may be purchased for the same price, although the majority of electric grinders in this price bracket are blade grinders that simply blend the whole beans. 

This isn’t ideal for specialty coffee since the pieces of ground coffee vary in size, resulting in a cup of coffee that might be over-or under-extracted.

You can get a manual coffee grinder here.

 

Timemore Digital Coffee Scale

While coffee connoisseur James Hoffman thinks that large grocery store scales are worthwhile as presents, he also mentioned that he knows many people who swear by this marginally smaller one, which “costs a third of the money” and comes from a coffee-focused firm. 

He claims that the only difference between the two is that this scale “doesn’t count quite as rapidly, so you’ll have to stop slightly sooner if you’re looking for a super-exact number.”

The display screen is simple and easy to read. When switched off, it becomes invisible, reducing the gadget to a simple black square. 

Despite the name, a white variant is also available.

Because of its thinner shape, the Black Mirror in essence is large enough for manual brewing while still fitting on the drip tray of many coffee machines.

You can get one here.

Latte Art Stencil

Bring your latte art to the next dimension.

If your recipient enjoys latte or cappuccino, a customised latte art stencil will allow them to sprinkle their own cheesy smile on top of their latte every morning or whenever their mother-in-law is present. 

I got one of these as a Christmas present a few years ago, and it’s great to witness people’s reactions when they realise their face is on top of their latte. 

Simply prepare your favourite milky coffee and lay the stencil over the cup’s rim.

Then sprinkle a little bit of cocoa powder on top and, voila, your face is on the coffee! 

You can get one for your beloved here.

 

Aillio Bullet Roaster R1 V2

Coffee aficionado James Hoffman advises an at-home roaster to roast his fresh beans as a present for the deeply serious coffee enthusiast in your life. 

Yes, it’s exorbitantly priced, but you could band together with a group of friends to present this gadget to someone who will actually enjoy it. 

“Ultimately,” adds Hoffman, “it’s really cost-effective because you get your beans green for approximately half the amount they would cost already roasted elsewhere.” 

He suggests looking at Coffee Shrub, which offers “phenomenal” green coffee from Cuba, Jamaica, and Yemen. 

If you know somebody who owns their own roaster, Hoffman recommends ‘Coffee Roasting Best Practices’ by Scott Rao.

You can get an Aillio Bullet Roaster R1 V2 here.

 

Kruve Brew Stick

This Multi-purpose Brew Stick may be used to agitate the grinds throughout the brewing process for greater coffee flavour or as a long-form stir stick. 

James Hoffman offers this brew stick as an inexpensive but thoughtful present, which can be used to stir the grounds in a pour-over as well as weigh-in or out grounds if you’re off by a gram or two. 

“It’s also nice-looking and well-packaged,” he adds. He mentions that Kruve manufactures a lot of great coffee equipment.

You can get your hands on one here.

 

French Press

The entry-level brew technique for specialty coffee.

A cafetiere is an excellent coffee gift since it is simple to use and produces a good cup the first time. 

Simply purchase a bag of cafe style ground coffee from your coffee shop to complete your ideal coffee gift set UK. 

The cafetiere plunges the coffee through a mesh filter into the bottom of the beaker, allowing you to pour the drink straight into your cup. 

They are ideal gifts for those who appreciate full-bodied brews and wish to explore the world of specialty coffee.

You can get a French Press for your loved one here.

 

KeepCup Reusable Coffee Cup

When our team chatted with coffee professionals about their best travel mugs and reusable cups, the KeepCup came up several times. 

It’s constructed of glass, which makes it easy to clean, and it features an eco-friendly cork ring so you can hold it comfortably while on the go. 

James Hoffman recommends this travel mug with a splash shield for the coffee enthusiast who is a touch clumsy. 

“On the move,” he continues, “may sometimes mean on my clothing or up my nose,” but not with this. 

“The cup allows me to confidently relish every sip,” he says, adding that its “porcelain inside means there’s no metallic flavour.”

For all-day sipping, this travel mug keeps liquids hot for up to 7 hours and iced coffee chilled for up to 18 hours!

You can get this amazing cup here.

 

Moka Pot

A journey to Italy in the form of a coffee gift.

At the very least, the perfume of Italy. 

The cooktop, also known as the Italian stovetop, is a kitchen fixture throughout Italy and has long been Italians’ go-to brew-at-home coffee machine. 

The classic Bialetti moka pot was developed in 1933 in Italy and hasn’t altered much since. 

Fill the bottom compartment with water, the middle brewing chamber with pre-ground coffee, and screw the whole thing together.

Place the Moka Pot on the stove and prepare for a sensory onslaught of exquisite espresso aromas to permeate your kitchen. A great way to start any day!

For more details on how to do it right, head off to our complete guide on the Moka pot!

 

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Pour-over Kettle

The Stagg EKG kettle is one of our all-time favourite gift suggestions, so we were pleased — but not shocked — to learn that Noah Goodman, a barista turned business consultant, feels the same way. 

“It’s the perfect brewing kettle for any coffee lover,” he says. “With its high thermal stability and varied settings, you can keep the water at 200°F for up to an hour.” 

This kettle’s gooseneck spout and precise temperature regulation make it the ideal instrument for pour-over brewing, which both coffee experts and beginners will appreciate.

 Not to mention, the ambient temperature control makes it ideal for brewing various varieties of coffee, if your gift recipient is like that.

This awesome kettle can be purchased here.

 

Baratza Encore Electric Grinder

Many coffee experts have advised us that if you’re passionate about your coffee, you should buy it whole bean and grind it yourself with a burr grinder to guarantee an equal brew and fresh flavour. 

Burr grinders ground coffee beans by pushing them between two cutting edges, whereas a blade grinder works more like a high – speed blender with a rotating blade (often producing uneven grind size). 

Burr grinders may be rather costly, but happily, our experts’ pick, the Baratza Encore, is one of the most inexpensive of the lot. 

Its low price makes it tempting as a first “real” coffee grinder and makes an excellent gift!

On a hot day, the cooled final result can be a quite pleasant way to consume a caffeinated beverage.
