Coffee, latte, cappuccino, mochaccino, espresso, flat white... Ground coffee, bean to cup, omni grinds...
Does any of this make any sense to you? Or are you just on the hunt for the ideal present for someone who talks about coffee all day long?
If you're buying a gift for a coffee lover, you need to know a bit of the lingo - you don't want to buy espresso cups for someone who only ever drinks a latte, or buy a cafetiere for someone who has a bean-to-cup machine. So, first things first, find out what type of coffee your gift recipient likes best (and you thought this gift hunt was going to be easy...)
Not to worry though - we've rounded up some of the best gifts for coffee lovers, whatever their beverage preference.
