I don’t know about your Dad, but I know for a fact mine would laugh at another “world’s best dad” mug. While there’s a time and a place for a thoughtful mug (no hate on these), every coffee lover I know has more than enough mugs to last two lifetimes. So many mugs that get pushed to the back of the cabinet because we alwayst seem to gravitate to the same two or three options. Yet, that doesn’t mean you can’t hone in on your Dad’s love for coffee when it comes time to select a Father’s Day gift.
Coffee-loving Dads need something a little new, spunky and different to be “wowed”. This year, I’ve put together a few selections of “better” Father’s Day gifts to consider. From flash-frozen coffee tastings from the Comeeter World Mug Collection to sleek gear to a sophisticated coffee table book, use these seven gifts as inspiration to make this Father’s Day a memorable one for your Dad.
Cometeer World Mug Collection
I’ve been obsessed with Cometeer coffee pods for quite some time now. Their recent drop, the World Mug Collection, makes the perfect Father’s Day gift for the adventurous coffee dad. Each box includes sixteen single-origin coffees and master blends, making fun of a fun tasting experience. These flash-frozen pods can be enjoyed any time or any place, ideal for the Dad who’s always on the run. I love using these to make iced coffee at home, though they can also be used to make a regular cup of hot coffee. It even comes with a fun passport to make the “coffee journey” even more interactive.
The best part about the World Mug Collection is the discovery. Once your Dad determines which of the brews he likes the most, he can order a box of those alone in the future. There’s something fun about “tastings” like this. It almost reminds me of a coffee advent calendar, in a way.
Coffee Table Art Book
Perfect for the reading dad who also loves coffee, this Coffee Table Art Book is a luxe hardcover book featuring coffee-themed artwork from 65 contemporary artists and photographers around the world. This distinctive gift idea can be appreciated by dads all over the globe who can enjoy over 150 pages of curated paintings, photography, collage, digital work, mixed media, and pieces created using coffee itself. I love this Father’s Day gift idea idea for the coffee snob dad who won’t want to try any new beans other than his go-to choice.
Fellow Aiden Precision Electric Coffee Maker
It wouldn’t be a fair Father’s Day coffee gift guide without mentioning at least once of the most important thing of all: The gear. Fellow’s Aiden Precision Electric Coffee Maker is an all-time favorite that brews an exceptional cup while looking sleek on Dad’s countertop. What’s really cool about this maker is that it can brew anywhere from a full carafe to just a single cup of coffee. Plus, the new Woodland color (a deep, forest green) adds a pop of color to the countertop that coffee loving Dads will love. I’m also a big fan of the Lotus Professional Drip Coffee Maker as an alternative to the Fellow.
Fellow also offers a bunch of other coffee gear for Dads too, like the Espresso Series 1. You can’t go wrong with any of Fellow’s products, though. I’ve also been using their 3-in-1 Carter sip system to enjoy my iced coffee in at home for quite some time now.
A coffee club subscription
No coffee lover wants to run out of coffee. If just gifting your Dad a bag of beans doesn’t seem like enough, consider an Atlas Coffee Club subscription. Monthly highlight boxes feature coffee roasts from around the world, keeping your Dad always on his toes. This box is great for “coffee snob” dads who only drink single-origin coffees, as every monthly box includes only the highest quality, single origin coffees. Each coffee box comes with information on its origin, coffee history, and tasting notes to keep the fun alive all year round. Sightglass Coffee also offers a great coffee subscription also using single-origin coffees.
Simply Good Coffee Plastic-free coffee maker
Yeah, your Dad already has a coffee maker. But chances are the coffee maker he uses isn’t 100% plastic free. With a rising demand for plastic-free products, Simply Good Coffee’s plastic-free brewer is a great choice for a gift for the health-conscious, coffee-drinking Dad.
This is one of those gifts he might not have known he wanted or needed, but will surely come to love. The Simply Good Coffee plastic-free brewer uses zero plastic in the brew path and brews rich, full-flavored coffee every time, at the touch of a button. It also has a compact design that will surely fit on any countertop.
Double Neat, The Whiskey Lover’s Tasting Box
Does your Dad love both coffee and whiskey? Double Neat’s fun Whiskey Lover’s Tasting Box is a great Father’s Day gift for the dad who has everything. He may not need these, but it doesn’t mean he won’t enjoy it. This Whisky-focused gift box includes bourbon blazed beef jerky, cinnamon slow-roasted pecans, maple bourbon almonds and of course, whiskey coffee. For the coffee option, you can choose from K-cups, ground coffee, or whole bean — depending on your Dad’s brewing preference.
Planetary Design Airscape Matte Black Coffee Canister
Every coffee lover understands the true importance of keeping your coffee stored properly and sealed for optimal freshness. One thing I love (and try to tell everyone about) is my Airscape Matte Black Coffee Canister. Not only does it look nice sitting out on my kitchen countertop, but it gives me peace of mind knowing my beans are staying fresh and sealed away from the air.
Sometimes the smallest gifts can turn out to be the most useful, so don’t let the price steer you away from this one (or pair it with another Father’s Day gift on this list). Personally, I think you can’t go wrong with the sleek Matte Black, though this item does come in other, bolder colors.
