Chemex 8-Cup Coffee Maker

Credit: Courtesy Chemex
$44 available at Williams-Sonoma Opens a new window SHOP IT Opens a new window

Any coffee aficionado knows how great a Chemex is—and has probably seen them down at their favorite fancy coffee shop. It not only looks stunning on your countertop, but also brews a perfect cup that tastes clean, and has very little bitterness—in part because the all-glass container doesn't absorb any odor the way plastic does. Don’t forget to include Chemex-specific filters as a sweet stocking stuffer, so they can enjoy a cup right away.

Gooseneck Kettle

$149 available at Sur La Table Opens a new window SHOP IT Opens a new window

To make a truly great cup in a Chemex or French press, you need your water to get to (and stay at) an exact temp (usually around 205 degrees Fahrenheit, or just under boiling). It sounds technical, but makes a big difference. Plus, steady-stream water pouring allows your grounds to bloom and release that delightful aroma and flavor you’d find from a coffee shop.

Another must for masterful brewing? A burr grinder. The blades make sure every bean is ground to the perfect consistency—whether it’s a fine grind for a Chemex, medium for a drip brewer, or coarse for a French press.
