Essential Christmas Gift Guide for Coffee Lovers
Want to upgrade your brewing setup or help someone get started brewing coffee at home? Have you checked out our curated selection of favorite brewing tools yet? While we’re not fans of cluttering your home with unnecessary gear, there are some essentials we believe can truly elevate your morning coffee routine. These are the tools we personally use every day — at home, in our coffee shops in Locarno and Bolivia, and even when we travel.
Brewers:
Cafec Flower – Our absolute favorite conical brewer. Not only does it look gorgeous, but it also produces a beautifully layered cup with depth of flavor, highlighting both sweetness and acidity. If you’ve ever enjoyed a filter coffee at Muyu, this is the brewer we use! Available in Ceramic or Tritan.
Origami Air Dripper – The one we use at home! It’s flexible (compatible with both conical and flat-bottom filters), easy to use, and perfect for experimenting with different cup profiles. If you prefer to keep your gear selection minimal, this brewer lets you play around and get creative.
Aeropress – While we don’t use it every day, it’s always a joy to come back to! Super fun for experimenting with different brewing styles and recipes, and it never gets boring. It’s also our top pick for traveling. Pair it with a grinder and some great beans, and you’re all set! Perfect for those who enjoy stronger, heavier-bodied filter coffees.
Brewing Gear:
Fellow Stagg Kettle (Smoke Green & Maple Limited Edition) – Our trusted gooseneck kettle across continents. Since the beginning, it’s been the go-to choice for our roasteries, coffee shops, and home setups. Not only does it look stunning in any kitchen or coffee bar, but it’s also ergonomic for steady pouring and highly precise with water temperature.
1Zpresso K-Ultra & X-Ultra – Hands down the best hand grinders out there! We recommend the sleek X-Ultrafor pour-overs and Aeropress, while the K-Ultra excels at fine-tuning espresso shots without too much effort. Both grinders are precision-engineered, making it a joy to adjust the grind setting or detach the magnetic grounds holder. Half the pleasure of filter coffee is in the workflow — and these grinders make it even better!
