Five Star Gift Ideas

For a coffee enthusiast like your son, there are plenty of gift options that can enhance his passion for tasting and reviewing different types of coffee. Here are a few ideas that he might appreciate:

1. Coffee Subscription: Consider gifting him a subscription to a coffee delivery service. There are numerous options available where he can receive a variety of beans from around the world on a regular basis. This way, he can try different flavors and explore various roasting techniques without leaving the comfort of his home.

2. Coffee Tasting Set: Purchase a set of coffee samplers that include a range of flavors and origins. You can opt for a set specifically designed for tasting and comparing different types of coffee. Such sets often contain small sample bags of beans with tasting notes, allowing your son to have a guided coffee tasting experience.

3. Coffee Brewing Equipment: If your son is into brewing his own coffee, he might appreciate some high-quality coffee brewing equipment. Consider gifting him a pour-over coffee maker, an espresso machine, or a French press. Alternatively, see if there are any specific brewing tools or gadgets that he has been eyeing, such as a coffee grinder or a gooseneck kettle.

4. Coffee Books: There are many books available that delve into the world of coffee. Look for titles such as "The World Atlas of Coffee" by James Hoffmann or "Coffee Obsession" by DK. These books can provide insights into coffee growing regions, brewing techniques, and coffee culture, which your son will find interesting and informative.

5. Coffee Accessories: Help him elevate his coffee experience with some stylish yet functional accessories. This could include a high-quality coffee mug, a thermal travel tumbler, coffee bean storage containers, a milk frother, or a digital coffee scale for precise measurements while brewing.

6. Coffee Courses or Workshops: Research if there are any local coffee shops or specialty coffee schools that offer courses or workshops on coffee tasting and brewing. Enrolling your son in one of these educational experiences will not only enhance his coffee knowledge but also provide him with an opportunity to meet fellow coffee enthusiasts and professionals.

7. Coffee-related Experiences: Consider gifting your son an experience, such as a guided coffee tour, visiting a coffee plantation, or participating in a professional cupping session. These experiences can give him a deeper understanding of the coffee-making process and allow him to connect with the coffee community.

Remember to choose a gift that aligns with your son's preferences and interests. By selecting something that encourages his love for tasting and reviewing different types of coffee, you can be sure that your gift will bring him much joy and appreciation.

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.”
