Christmas Gift Ideas for Every Type of Coffee Lover
We all know that receiving yet another useless knick-knack from a relative or a Secret Santa can be a pretty disappointing experience. But what could be better than the enlivening, rejuvenating, and above-all extremely tasty gift of coffee?
Here are some Christmas Gift ideas from Chimney Fire HQ to suit every kind of coffee lover, from beginners to fanatics - always with free UK delivery.
2024 Christmas Blend
Our 2024 Christmas Blend is bursting with seasonal flavours of candied nuts, raisins, and amaretti — the perfect gift for a festive foodie, or just as a holiday treat.
This year, our gift wrap-style packaging is based on a design by work experience student Hannah Jones. The two piece box and 250g inner bag are fully recyclable, and the coffee is available in our regular whole bean and grind options.
Not sure what grind size to choose? Select ‘medium’ to cover most options, or ‘fine’ if you’re sure the recipient has an espresso machine!
Coffee Experiences (From £15 per person)
Our two very popular coffee experiences are selling out further and further in advance, but with gift vouchers being valid for a year there's plenty of time to get booked onto a suitable date!
Our Bean to Cup Coffee Experience is complemented by the shorter Roastery Tour - perfect for those who want an introduction to speciality coffee. During both these sessions you'll learn all about the origins of coffee as a drink, and how the coffee fruit makes its way from the other side of the world to your cup at home.
After a welcome coffee, we'll give you an overview of how our coffee is grown, picked, processed, roasted, and shipped. Then, learn some simple steps for the perfect morning coffee with a brewing demonstration using the popular V60 method.
During our flagship Bean to Cup Coffee Experience, visitors will try four (!!) of our most popular coffees and even do a blind tasting at the end. If you're serious about coffee, or you know someone who is, this deep-dive into coffee's origins, craft, and culture is the one.
At the end of each session, there will be plenty of time for any questions you may have about our coffee and how to make it taste great at home. All participants will receive a 15% discount on bags of coffee from our roastery shop to take home and enjoy!
Ceramic Cups (From £12)
Our beautiful branded ceramic cups compliment any coffee machine or kitchen, with a matte black finish and a subtle Chimney Fire Coffee logo on the inside. Like all good cafe-quality cups, they are smash-resistant, and dishwasher-safe.
Choose from 2.75oz (80ml), 6oz (170ml, and 9oz (250ml) sizes, covering everything from espresso to a large latte. Plus, you'll automatically get 15% off when you add two or more cups of any size to your basket!
Coffeevac Storage Container (£17.95)
The CoffeeVac Storage Container holds 250g and has a unique vacuum seal button which allows the carbon dioxide gas to escape from your beans - but crucially does not let oxygen in. It is also impervious to UV light, another factor that causes coffee to lose freshness.
Whether you're storing ground coffee or whole beans, you will be able to taste the difference.
Gift Subscriptions (From £28.50)
Get a regular coffee delivery once a month delivered anywhere in the UK, with our pre-paid Discovery Coffee Gift Subscriptions.
Simply purchase a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription, enter the recipient's details, and their first bag will be dispatched on the 1st of the following month (if you want this to begin in January, just let us know!). A monthly bag of Discovery Coffee makes a great little perk to help a loved one through the winter months.
The Hoop Coffee Brewer
The Hoop Coffee Brewer is a revolutionary new radial infusion brewer, allowing you to get the clean taste of a drip coffee with a fraction of the effort.
Simply add your ground coffee and required amount of water, and it does the rest by drawing in the water at a constant rate through a series of small holes.

Sage The Smart Grinder Pro (£205)
We love this grinder so much that most of our team have one at home themselves!
The best upgrade you can make to your home coffee set up is a good grinder, giving you uniform grind size and control over the rate at which your coffee brews. The best thing about a Sage The Smart Grinder Pro is that (unlike many other similarly priced grinders) you can go from a fine espresso grind right up to a coarse cafetière grind, and everything in between.
With 60 unique settings, this programmable conical burr grinder maximizes the potential of any brew. Choose between 'cups' for French Press or Filter and 'shots' for Espresso to get the right dose for the coffee you're brewing. Grind directly into a portafilter or an airtight container.
Branded KeepCups (From £18.50)
KeepCup is one of the most popular reusable takeaway cup brands, and with good reason - their glass bodies don't affect the flavour of your beverage, and the cork makes sure you don't burn your fingers even with a fresh drink. Plus, they're really easy to clean and they look great!
Get 15% off any bag of coffee when you purchase a KeepCup or most other items of equipment or merch.
Bodum Chambord Cafetière
A, or perhaps even the classic brew method, the Bodum Chambord Coffee Maker 8 Cup is a family-friendly way of dishing out lots of coffee at once.
But that doesn't mean it has to taste rubbish - with the right recipe, the humble cafetière is as delicious as anything else out there - why not check out our Brew Guides to learn how we like ours.
