Every year on Christmas Eve, my brothers and I try to convince our parents to let us open our stockings early. When we were younger, we’d whine that “other families do it!” To which they’d only double-down.
All of this is to say sometimes stocking stuffers are the most exciting gifts. For coffee lovers in particular, small gifts like tampers and levelers or coffee samples make fantastic presents, whether they’re packaged under the Christmas tree or not.
Below, find a list of products we recommend for stocking stuffers!

This unique tamper automatically clicks when 30 pounds of force has been exerted onto it and when the handle hits the metal base of the tamper, alerting you when you have reached the proper amount of tamp pressure for espresso extraction.

E&B Lab Flower Dripper — Wave
Is someone in your life a pour-over super fan? Then this gorgeous flower dripper from E&B is a perfect present. Unique and Italian-made, E&B Lab’s Flower Wave filter was designed to house Kalita wave paper filters. The longer petal on the filter is a deliberate feature that specifically grips the paper filter while the shorter petals aid in supporting the paper filter throughout the brewing process. Unlike many other filter holders, the flower design helps prevent changes in the coffee’s temperature while brewing as it has less surface area to absorb heat. The flat bottom of the Kalita help to guarantee an even bed depth while brewing.

Designed by Profitec with a unique spout to improve pouring milk for latte art, the perfectly sized 12 oz milk frothing pitcher or milchkännchen is a must have accessory for any Profitec owner. Emblazoned with the Profitec logo on the side, and "Profitec - Since 1985 - Handmade" on the bottom, these beautiful handmade pitchers look great next to any Profitec machine.

SUMMARY
Well there you go! Ten stocking stuffers that are perfect for the coffee fans in your life — and a reminder that not all presents have to be Earth-shattering to be good. Take for instance that immersion blender I mentioned. Sure, it got a lot of laughs at the moment, but now we use it every Thanksgiving to make our family’s favorite butternut squash soup. Plus, when the regular blender stopped working one time making salsa, the immersion one worked like a charm. All to say, necessary items make life easier and that, in itself, is a gift.
