Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who has a passion for brewing artisanal coffee, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that can enhance his coffee-making experience and show your support for his hobby. Consider these options:

1. Coffee Subscription: Enroll your son in a coffee subscription service that delivers freshly roasted specialty beans to his doorstep regularly. This gift allows him to explore different flavors and origins, broadening his coffee palate.

2. Coffee Grinder: A high-quality coffee grinder is an essential tool for any coffee enthusiast. Choose a burr grinder that provides consistent and uniform grounds, which helps to unlock the full flavor potential of his coffee beans.

3. Pour-Over Coffee Set: A pour-over coffee set enables your son to brew coffee with precision and control over the brewing process. Look for a set that includes a dripper, a gooseneck kettle for a controlled pour, and a scale to measure the coffee and water accurately.

4. Coffee Bean Roaster: If your son is particularly enthusiastic about his coffee brewing, consider investing in a home coffee bean roaster. This allows him to roast green coffee beans to the desired level of darkness, accentuating the flavors and aromas in his cup.

5. Coffee Grinder Cleaning Kit: Help your son maintain his coffee grinder in top condition with a grinder cleaning kit. It typically includes a brush, cleaning tablets, and other tools specifically designed to remove coffee residue, which can affect the flavors in his coffee.

6. Coffee Scale: Precision is key in brewing artisanal coffee. A coffee scale with built-in timers can help your son measure the precise amount of coffee grounds and water, ensuring consistency in each cup he brews.

7. Coffee Brewing Workshop: Treat your son to a coffee brewing workshop or barista training session. This hands-on experience will help him further refine his skills, learn new techniques, and gain insight from industry professionals.

8. Coffee Recipe Book: A coffee recipe book can inspire your son to experiment with new brewing methods and specialty coffee drinks. Look for a book that offers a range of recipes, including different brewing styles, latte art techniques, and coffee-based cocktails.

9. Coffee Tasting Journal: A coffee tasting journal is an excellent tool for your son to record and track his coffee discoveries. This gift allows him to document tasting notes, brewing methods, and his personal preferences, which can be a valuable resource for future coffee endeavors.

10. Personalized Coffee Mug: Lastly, consider gifting your son a personalized coffee mug. Have his name, a coffee quote, or a meaningful message engraved or printed on the mug. This thoughtful touch will remind him of your support and love with every sip of his favorite brew.

Remember, the most important aspect of your gift is to show your son that you appreciate his interest and passion for brewing artisanal coffee. Whatever gift you choose, it is the sentiment behind it that will make it truly special.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
