A couple that enjoys their morning coffee together stays together. That’s how the saying goes, right?
Well, this wedding season, consider gifting (or asking for) an espresso machine, coffee maker, or accessories to help the spouses-to-be start married life while properly caffeinated with these coffee gifts for couples. Whether you’re looking to put together a registry for your own wedding or you’re looking to supplement what a couple has already put on their registry, this list of wedding gifts for coffee lovers has ideas to help you narrow down your search for the perfect wedding gift.
Building Your Registry
If you’re getting married soon, you’ve probably heard that it’s time to start building your wedding registry. Whether you’re looking for a machine that will help you keep your mornings moving or for an upgraded machine that will let you hone your at-home barista skills, these machines are some great wedding gifts for coffee lovers to add to your registry.
If you made your registry using a wedding website service like Zola, you can also add an option for guests to contribute part of the price of a more expensive machine. So if you have your eye on a machine on the pricier side, make sure to take advantage of that feature.

The Gaggia Classic Pro is a perfect beginner espresso machine if you’re looking to dive into the world of home espresso brewing. At Whole Latte Love, we have a large selection of colors to choose from, so you can get a machine that perfectly matches your kitchen.

Gaggia Magenta Prestige Super-Automatic Espresso Machine
$935.00
The Gaggia Magenta Prestige is a super-automatic espresso machine known for its one-touch milk drinks and easy-to-use system. The full-color screen on the Magenta Prestige allows you to choose from 12 different drink settings, and you can customize the strength of each drink by adjusting the volume of espresso versus milk in each drink. In addition, you can customize the amount of ground coffee used for each drink to adjust the strength of your espresso or coffee beverage.
With the included auto-frothing carafe, the Magenta Prestige will add the programmed amount of milk to the cup in the correct order depending on which drink you’re brewing. There’s even a self-cleaning feature that you can use after each drink to ensure that the carafe and tubing are staying clean, as well as a deep clean option you can access through the menu screen.
Bezzera Unica Espresso Machine
$1,949.00
If you or the couple you’re gifting this to is newer to the espresso brewing scene or has a kitchen that’s tight on space, the single boiler Bezzera Unica is a great choice. With high-quality prosumer features like a pressure gauge and PID temperature control, this compact espresso machine is a great addition to any at-home coffee bar.
The Unica is equipped with an E61 group head for temperature stability, as well as a 3-way solenoid valve and a vibration pump. The .5 liter (or 17 oz) copper boiler heats up fast so you can get your morning espresso when you need it, and the size also allows it to switch from brewing to steaming and back quickly, making it a perfect wedding gift for coffee lovers.
JURA ENA 8 Espresso Machine
$2,595.00
This award-winning super-automatic espresso machine is stylishly designed and very user-friendly, so the ENA 8 is a great choice if you’re looking for a machine that can help you cut out daily coffee shop trips. You can choose from 10 different drink options, which you can access from the TFT color screen or by using the J.O.E. app on your smartphone.
JURA also incorporated some of their innovative features into the ENA 8, including P.E.P (Pulse Extraction Process) to perfectly extract all of the subtle flavors in your coffee. This machine also features JURA’s built-in Aroma G3 grinder, so there’s no need to separately purchase a grinder for delicious freshly ground coffee for every drink.

If you know the machine that the couple you’re gifting uses to brew, you can impress them with the thoughtful gift of upgrading the filter baskets they currently have. Just make sure that you check the exact size of the filter basket for the machine you’re giving them so you can be sure that you’re getting something that will work for their existing portafilter. You can upgrade them to a triple filter basket if you know they love a strong espresso beverage, or you can get them a bottomless portafilter so they can have a better view of their shots brewing.
