Best Christmas gifts for coffee lovers: 17 presents they’ll love this year

If you want to go all out this Christmas, the De'Longhi La Specialista Prestigio is a brilliant bean-to-cup coffee machine that came out this year. It has a classic espresso maker design and makes delicious coffees using it built-in grinder and milk frother. We loved it so much that we gave it five stars in our De'Longhi La Specialista Prestigio review so it's top choice if you want to splurge this year!

Another five-star coffee machine, the Sage Barista Touch Impress is even more luxurious than the De'Longhi one which means it has a higher price tag. But, you really can't beat it and it's a model we'd recommend if you and your family members drink different milks. The reason being is the Sage Barista Touch Impress has MilkIQ technology that has different programs for different milks so you get the best dairy and non-dairy results.

While it's not the most recent coffee making technology, a drip coffee maker is nothing to be sneered at, and the Moccamaster KGB Select is a great model.
