They are always in your line of sight. They know all there is to know about you, or at the absolute least, everything there is to know about how you take your coffee. Your barista is important to you regardless of your relationship to them; whether you are friends, roommates, lovers, or casual acquaintances, you want to show them how much you care about them. Because of this, Famvibe has collected a list of Christmas gifts for baristas that are certain to put a grin on the face of people who serve you.
1. Travel Mug
As much as we all want we could sip our first cup of coffee in a porcelain mug while leisurely reading the morning paper, sometimes you just have to take your coffee to go. You might be surprised to learn that 8 ounces of coffee is the ideal serving size for a barista—we don't drink that much!
2. Oe Lido Hand Grinder
We can't stress this enough: your grinder is the most critical piece of coffee equipment you own. You can't make nice coffee without one. There are no exceptions. We adore hand grinders, as we've mentioned before, because they allow you to spend less money on electronics and more on a nice burr set.
3. Pergtamp
A good tamper is essential for a barista, much as an axe is for a lumberjack. Matt Perger, an Australian coffee superstar, invented this tamp to optimize extraction by expanding the surface area of a traditional tamper by 2 cm2. That minor tweak has a significant impact on flavor.
4. Coffee Subscription
Coffee is the last thing your barista wants for Christmas, unless it's from Copenhagen's renowned roaster, the Coffee Collective. Coffee Collective has been at the forefront of the coffee market. The Coffee Collective provides a coffee taste experience like no other, with a strict direct trade program and a particularly light roasting style. With a strong dollar and free worldwide shipping, it's never been easier to take advantage of the Coffee Collective's subscription program in the United States.
5. Aeropress
The biggest secret of your barista: they never make coffee at home. When you work in a coffee shop 40 hours a week, it's much easier to stop by for a quick espresso on your day off. However, you may need to visit your parents/in-laws/go camping on occasion, which is why your barista requires an Aeropress. Its compact, collapsible design makes it great for travel, and most procedures require only a timer and a scale, making it ideal to stuff in a backpack and take on the road.
6. Acaia Lunar
Do you know why your barista makes better coffee than you? They employ a scale. And they would use this one if they could afford it. Autotare and auto start timing are just two of the Acaia Lunar's features. Did we mention it's entirely water resistant?
7. Precision Coffee Maker
Do you know what your barista wants for Christmas? To be able to get their first cup of coffee without having to do anything. That is why you should buy them a Precision Coffee Maker. Tim Wendelboe, World Barista Champion and coffee farmer, was the key consultant on this equipment, which is exquisite in both form and function.
8. Heroes Barista Tank Top
A snazzy tank top with the inscription "some heroes wear capes, some heroes make your coffee" is a surefire way to convince people of your awesomeness by drawing attention to the saying "some heroes wear capes, some heroes make your coffee."
9. Coffee Bean Cufflinks
These sophisticated cufflinks can be pinned to the barista's shirt, and he will adore wearing them.
10. Caffeine Molecule Necklace
This one-of-a-kind necklace shaped like a molecule of caffeine is sure to win over the heart of any fashion-forward barista.
11. Coffee Bean Keyring
This keychain features a coffee bean, making it a thoughtful christmas gift for baristas that also serves a functional purpose.
12. Espresso Machine Ornament
This one-of-a-kind ornament will provide a touch of warmth and character to their Christmas tree just in time for the holiday season.
13. Coffee Ice Cube Tray
The coffee bean ice tray has two uses: it may be used to freeze coffee into little cubes for increased flavor, or it can be used to make water cubes in interesting shapes.
14. Starbarks Dog Toy
Is your barista someone who has a soft spot for critters? Are they always retelling you about the wonderful feat that Fifi accomplished? Give a unique toy for their dog as a sign that you've been paying attention to what they've said.
15. Coffee Stencil Set
Make certain that your barista has a range of coffee stencils at their disposal so that they may decorate your morning brew.
16. Hiroshi’s Latte Art and Barista Style
The novice coffee artist is certain to feel a surge of creative energy after reading this book on latte painting.
17. “Barista by day, Ninja by night” Apron
This apron, which reads "Barista by day, Ninja by night," will protect their clothes from spills and make them appear more spirited.
18. Lego Movie Larry the Barista Figurine
This adorable Lego rendition of your favorite barista is a great way to demonstrate your concern for them.
19. Coffee Candy
This coffee candy is ideal for the sweet-toothed barista who, in your opinion, does not get exposed to a sufficient amount of different coffee flavors in the course of their work.
20. Evil Barista Novelty Notebook
They could have a lot of fun keeping a journal in the novelty notebook; if only it were a genuine book, they'd be all set.
21. Coffee Mixology Magnets
The coffee mixology magnets are an excellent accessory for a staff refrigerator because each magnet depicts a drink together with the appropriate measurements for making that drink.
22. Coffee Essential Oil
This essential oil has the aroma of a freshly brewed cup of coffee, and it is an excellent antioxidant.
23. Barista Tote Bag
To show the world that they are the "greatest barista ever," customers should be encouraged to bring their own recyclable bags.
This license plate frame would make an excellent accent to the awesome car of any barista.
25. Chocolate Liqueurs
A mouthwatering treat for the staff to enjoy as they get into the holiday mood.
26. Greeting Card Pack
Take it one step further and express your gratitude to the personnel at your neighborhood coffee shop by giving them each one of these greeting cards. Any barista would be grateful to receive a personal card from the customer, with possibly an additional tip tucked within.
27. Coffee Roaster Game
The card game known as Coffee Roaster is a solo version of the classic pool-building pastime. To begin, place tokens next to the bags of coffee beans and choose which beans you would want to 'roast.' Draw bean tokens from the bag to roast at the beginning of each turn. When your beans have been roasted and you've prepared your cups of coffee, you'll be able to accumulate points. Learn more about how to play Coffee Roaster by reading on. It's a game with a coffee theme that your barista would like playing.
28. The Movie the Barista Coffee Mini Figure

The Baratza Sette 30 is a piece of equipment that can be purchased for a reasonable price and produces great grinds for baristas who are just beginning their journey with espresso.
31. Calibrated Espresso Tamper
A tamper is an important instrument for a barista to have in order to practice their art, and it is one that they would welcome having access to in their house. An espresso tamper is a tool that is used to "tamp," or pack, loose coffee grounds and mold them into a compacted puck before beginning the brewing process with hot water. Once the brewing process has begun, the compressed puck will allow the water to pass through it. Because it makes a distinctive clicking sound after you've attained 30 pounds of tamping pressure, the calibrated tamper is a fantastic tool for creating a tamping method that is both consistent and effective.
32. Motta Europa Stainless Steel Frothing Pitcher
Your barista's frothing pitcher is an important item to have at their disposal if they are passionate about latte art. The ideal milk-based beverages can be crafted with the assistance of a pitcher designed for foaming milk. Motta has created a one-of-a-kind frothing pitcher that is made of high-quality stainless steel with a hefty gauge and features an original design. It has a highly polished finish and a deep circular spout, both of which assist baristas in pouring coffee smoothly and reliably.
33. Coffeezone Ceramic Coffee Cup and Saucer
The construction of this cup is exquisite, and it comes in three distinct sizes and ten different contemporary color options, all of which are designed to complement any kind of interior design. Coffeezone has designed a set of coffee cups and saucers that are stronger and more long-lasting than the majority of standard cups. It has a thick body made of porcelain, which helps to keep the coffee heated.
34. Coffee Knock Box
After pulling a shot of espresso, a barista can knock the wasted coffee grounds directly into a knock box, which is a basic yet useful piece of equipment. This allows the barista to reuse the coffee grounds. Made in Italy, the De'Longhi knock box has a body constructed of durable stainless steel that has been mirror polished, and it has anti-slip rubber pads on the base to guarantee that it does not move around.
35. Coffee Digital Scale
A coffee scale is one of the important instruments created for baristas to have complete control over how much coffee and water to use for all of the many methods of coffee brewing. Baristas may use the scale to measure out the appropriate amounts of coffee and water for each method. You will never have to rely on guesswork or scoops again thanks to the scale. It is also considered to be one of the best scales in terms of accuracy, user friendliness, design, and overall quality.
36. Under Barista Apron
This barista apron is handcrafted from a combination of cotton and polyester, making it ideal for shielding the wearer's clothing from splatters and stains while they are working. This barista apron, in contrast to typical aprons, has a no-tie clasp-and-ring design that makes it both simple to put on and take off.
37. Home Coffee Roaster
Baristas frequently express an interest in learning how to roast their own coffee beans so that they can create their own unique coffee formula. The process of roasting coffee beans is an enjoyable one in which green coffee beans are "cooked" in order to bring out the coffee's inherent tastes. The motorized coffee roaster is a scaled-down copy of a commercial drum roaster that enables you to experiment with varying degrees of roasting and profiles of roasting.

39. Cold Brew Maker and Tea Infuser
The co-owners of MochaBox Coffee recommend that you purchase this "cheap, easy to use" cold-brew maker as a Christmas gift for baristas who enjoy drinking cold brew coffee. Glass and steel, two materials that are considerably simpler to clean and endure far longer than plastic devices of comparable price, are utilized in the construction of the aesthetically pleasing item that you receive. They point out that because it "doubles as a nice iced-tea maker," this would be an especially thoughtful Christmas gift for baristas who also enjoy tea (or for someone who lives with someone who is passionate about tea).
40. Sowden Coffee Pot
The Sowden Coffee Pot is a multicolored piece of porcelain that includes a "micro-thin" filter made of stainless steel. This filter allows coffee grounds to be infused into hot water in a manner that is analogous to how one would prepare tea in a teapot. Although it has a mouthfeel that is comparable to that of a French press, it is far simpler to clean than a French press thanks to its detachable micro-filter. Additionally, the pot "looks fairly lovely on the counter with tulips in it, too, just in case you ever stop brewing coffee at home."
