A few gifting questions.

What can I give a coffee lover besides a mug?

Consider a brewer they have asked for, a compatible filter or useful brewing tool, good coffee in their preferred format, or storage that suits their counter. A serving piece can be thoughtful for someone who enjoys making coffee for guests.

Should I choose whole-bean or ground coffee?

Whole beans suit someone with a grinder. Otherwise, choose a grind intended for their brewing method. If you do not know their setup, ask before ordering rather than expecting one grind to suit every brewer.

What is a good gift for a coffee enthusiast who owns everything?

Look for a consumable they will enjoy or a thoughtful improvement to the way they store, travel with, or serve coffee. Specialist espresso equipment is best chosen from an exact wish list.
