The Coffee Lovers Gift Guide
1. Specialty Coffee Pack
Try 7 origins from our current seasonal coffee menu. Customise to your liking and discover your flavour preferences.
40€
One of the best things you can gift a coffee lover is, quite simply, a good specialty coffee pack.
We know, it seems obvious, but all coffee lovers like when someone brings us a new coffee, something we haven’t tried yet and that we’ve been wanting for while. But not all coffees are the same.
If you are going to give coffee to someone who really appreciates coffee, you cannot get them a standard commercial coffee, the kind that can be found on any supermarket shelf. It’s like giving a cardboard wine to a wine lover. If you are going to give coffee, it should be a specialty coffee (in this post you may read all that it entails).
At Ineffable Coffee all our coffees are specialty, as well as fresh, seasonal and freshly roasted. It is what any coffee lover would be looking for, so you can’t go wrong if you choose one of our coffees.
Some things to keep in mind when choosing a coffee are the roast profile and whether to buy whole beans or ground coffee. Regarding the first, it depends on which method the person you are giving the coffee to uses to brew it.
We recommend an ‘espresso’ profile for an Italian, espresso or super-automatic coffee maker. And we recommend a ‘filter’ profile for brewing using filter methods such as the French Press, the V60 or the AeroPress.
As for whether to buy ground coffee or whole beans, we always recommend whole beans (in this post we explain why). If you know that the receiver has a mill at home, then whole bean will always be the best option. And if you don’t know, well, then you may add a mill as a gift or give it to them already grounded.
To ensure you hit the mark and make the right choice, we have prepared this tasting pack that you can customise to your liking, choosing from our current menu of seasonal coffees.

2. Monthly Subscription
40€ – 350€
If giving coffee to a person who is passionate about coffee is always going to be a success, giving a coffee subscription is a continuous success.
Think for a moment that you are some who loves going to the gym, it is something important for you and that motivates you. And then someone gives you an annual subscription to your favorite gym. How happy would you be? Same thing.
You can gift a subscription for 3, 6 or 12 months. It works in a very simple way. You choose the monthly amount of coffee in the subscription, choose whether you want it ground or whole bean, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Our coffees are fresh, seasonal and freshly roasted, so the coffees we send will vary, but we will always send the best we have. It is also a pleasant surprise to receive a different coffee every time.
We take care of everything else, you -or the person you choose- will receive it comfortably at home ready to brew.

4. Hand Grinder HARIO Mini Mill
33€
We have said that the best coffee is freshly ground coffee. If someone who is starting out in the coffee world wants to take a qualitative leap in their brewing, one of the first things they should do is get a grinder. We do not recommend using electric home grinders (you may dive deep about why in this article), we prefer manual ones.
And this Hario Mini Mill is ideal for these circumstances. For its price, considerably cheaper than the previous one, it come packed with very interesting features, such as its conical ceramic grinding wheels. Perhaps the grind is not as uniform and it might not last as long as the previous one, but it is adjustable and fulfills its purpose pretty well. It will be a great leap in quality for beginners.

5. Wilfa Svart Aroma Precision Electric Coffee Grinder
180€
Alright, we said that we do not usually recommend home electric grinders, but this is not any electric grinder.
This is a grinder designed for coffee lovers. It has conical grinding wheels, adjustable grinding and different potencies. In fact, you can save the grinding parameters you like to make the grind even easier from use to use.
But all that in an electric grinder comes at a price, which is not so much its price tag, but its size and the fact that it needs to be plugged in. It is an ideal grinder for those who mostly brew coffee at home and want the convenience, ease and speed of an electric coffee grinder. When we are running short of time, it is definitely appreciated.
