Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is a coffee enthusiast, there are plenty of thoughtful gifts that will enhance his brewing and tasting experience. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Coffee Grinder: A high-quality grinder can significantly improve the flavor of brewed coffee. Look for a burr grinder, which offers more consistent grind sizes. This will allow your son to experiment with different brewing methods and achieve the perfect cup of coffee every time.

2. Specialty Coffee Beans: Treat your son to a selection of specialty coffee beans from different regions. Look for beans that are freshly roasted to ensure the best flavor. You can also consider a coffee subscription service that delivers beans to his door on a regular basis, allowing him to discover new flavors and roasts.

3. Brewing Equipment: If your son enjoys trying different brewing methods, consider gifting him a pour-over set, French press, or an AeroPress. These tools offer different brewing techniques and can be a fun way for him to experiment and discover new flavors.

4. Coffee Tasting Journal: Help your son track his coffee adventures with a coffee tasting journal. This will allow him to record the different flavors, brewing methods, and overall experiences of the coffees he tries. It can become a personal keepsake and a handy reference for future coffee experiments.

5. Coffee Accessories: Enhance your son's brewing experience with various coffee accessories. Consider getting him a gooseneck kettle for more precise pouring, a coffee scale for accurate measurements, or a digital thermometer to monitor water temperatures during brewing.

6. Coffee Books: If your son enjoys learning about coffee, consider adding to his coffee-related book collection. There are many books available on coffee history, brewing techniques, and coffee culture. Look for titles like "The World Atlas of Coffee" by James Hoffmann or "Coffee Obsession" by DK Publishing.

7. Coffee Workshop or Tasting Experience: Treat your son to a coffee workshop or tasting experience. Many coffee shops and roasters offer these kinds of experiences, where he can learn more about the different brewing techniques, coffee origins, and flavor profiles. This can be an educational and enjoyable gift.

Remember, the key to finding a meaningful gift for your son is to consider his specific interests and preferences. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion for coffee brewing and tasting, you can show him that you appreciate his hobbies and support his interests.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“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.”
