Coffee Gift Guide for the Holidays
The Ultimate Coffee Lover’s Gift Guide: 10 Gifts That Fuel Joy, Flavor & Everyday Rituals
If you’ve got a coffee lover in your life, congratulations- you’re shopping for someone who’s easy to delight. Coffee people are ritual people. They savor the little things. They geek out over gear. They light up when someone remembers “that one blend they’re obsessed with.”
So whether you’re shopping for a seasoned home barista or someone who just really loves a good brew (and maybe a Lions touchdown), these ten gifts are guaranteed to spark joy — one sip at a time.
1. Grit City Espresso Martini (Made With Ferris Coffee — Detroit Lions Collaboration)
If your giftee loves coffee and cocktails, you’ve basically hit the jackpot. This brand-new espresso martini is smooth, bold, and crafted with Ferris coffee — plus a little Detroit grit for good measure. It’s the kind of drink that turns a regular Friday night into a “we should celebrate something…anything!” moment.
Why we love it: It’s delicious, collaborative, Michigan-proud, and just plain cool.
2. Den Blend Dark Roast Coffee (Ferris x Detroit Lions)
A crowd favorite and a game-day ritual all on its own. This bold dark roast brings the energy whether you’re tailgating, couch-coaching, or fueling up for the workday.
Why we love it: It’s the official coffee of roaring with pride. And yes, we might be biased but when it comes to Michigan coffee, there's nothing better.
3. Handmade Pottery Mugs - Etsy Finds
Every coffee lover has the mug — the one they reach for automatically. Gifting a handmade mug makes that daily ritual feel extra special. Look for earthy glazes, unique shapes, and those little imperfections that say “made by real hands.”
Why we love it: Coffee tastes better in a mug with personality.
4. Coffee Art Prints- Etsy
Think cozy café energy, right on their kitchen wall. Pair it with a bag of Ferris coffee and you’ve got a whole vibe in one gift.
Why we love it: It elevates their space and their morning mood in one swoop. One our our favorites:
5. Breville Bambino Espresso Machine
For the friend who's ready to graduate from drip to “I pulled this shot myself.” The Bambino is compact, user-friendly, and a favorite in the specialty coffee world for a reason.
Why we love it: It makes café-quality espresso without taking over the countertop.
6. Ferris Coffee Best Sellers Bundle
If your giftee loves Ferris but hasn’t tried the fan favorites, this is the time. Mix in a couple blends, a seasonal pick, and a snack or two—because nothing pairs with a great cup of coffee like something crunchy and Michigan-made.
Why we love it: You get to show off your local pride and introduce them to their new go-to favorites.
7. Fellow Atmos Vacuum Canister
There’s nothing sadder than stale beans. This sleek, airtight canister keeps coffee fresh longer and looks good doing it. Coffee nerds will absolutely notice the difference.
Why we love it: It protects the flavor you paid good money for.
8. Baratza Encore Coffee Grinder
If your coffee lover is still using pre-ground coffee…this might just change their life. The Encore is the gold standard for beginners and seasoned brewers alike. Freshly ground beans = better coffee, period.
Why we love it: It’s the easiest (and most affordable) way to upgrade every single brew method.
9. Fellow Stagg EKG Pro Electric Gooseneck Kettle
This is the kettle people don’t know they need until they have it. Precision temperature control, beautiful design, and the kind of pour that makes you feel like a certified barista.
Why we love it: It’s functional art. And it makes pour-overs effortless.
10. Chemex® Glass Coffee Maker
A timeless brewing classic — elegant, smooth, and perfect for serving a group. The Chemex is equal parts coffee maker and countertop sculpture.
Why we love it: It creates a clean, bright cup that even non-coffee drinkers appreciate.

Final Sip: Gifts That Create Connection
At Ferris, we believe great coffee does more than fill a cup — it fuels connection, joy, and those everyday moments that become memories.

And honestly? That’s the best gift of all.
