It’s that time of year again. The holidays have arrived, so we put together a guide full of ideas for the coffee lovers in your life (or yourself)! It spans locally roasted beans, sustainable stocking stuffers, and gear that makes your brew process a little lighter on the planet. We packed this post with holiday cheer, as well as thoughtful (and useful) picks that will help you celebrate the holidays with great taste and good values.
Coffee Lover Gift Ideas for Every Personality
Best Holiday Coffee Gifts for Every Type of Coffee Drinker
Coffee devotees are a diverse bunch. There’s the casual connoisseur, who sips infrequently but with high standards and genuine appreciation. Then there’s the full-blown “don’t-talk-to-me-until-I’ve-had-my-coffee” type. Some are at-home brewing gurus, while others enjoy carting their gear up some of the most remote mountain peaks in the Canadian Rockies. Some people take sustainability seriously down to the last coffee ground, while others prefer simple, low-effort ways to make their coffee-making process a bit kinder to the planet.
No matter which kind of coffee person you know and love, we’re sure there's a little something here that’s guaranteed to make them smile!
Holiday Coffee Gifts for Daily Coffee Drinkers
You know what they say: a coffee a day keeps the headaches away! The daily drinker thrives on consistency, and they’ve cultivated a quality palate over many, many cups. At Eclipse, we know this coffee lover well. They’re the beloved regular we see almost every day.
Our best-selling beans are favourites for a reason; they tend to make a cup daily drinkers really enjoy. It’s a wonderful gift for anyone who can’t start their day without Eclipse.
Best Eclipse Coffee Beans for Daily Coffee Lovers

Coffee Gifts for the At-Home Brewer
Nothing says “it’s the holidays” like snow on the ground and warm, cosy café corners. While we like to think we have a cosy corner or two, we also understand that you can’t enjoy every cup of coffee with us. Home brewing is an art, passion, and craft — one shared by the Eclipse family!
As any at-home brewer knows, the gear and coffee accessory opportunities are endless. The holidays are a great time to add to their growing collection and contribute to their at-home coffee ritual.
Best Brewing Gear for At-Home Coffee Enthusiasts
- Timemore Little U French Press:A classic and dependable brew method.
- Pour-Over Kits:We carry beginner-friendly Hario V60 -02 Drippers, as well as Chemex Classic Coffee Makers for the refined coffee connoisseur.
- Gooseneck Kettles:The Flair Precision Pour-Over Kettle is perfect if you’re brewing with a French Press, V60, or Chemex.
- Scales: Coffee brewing is all about the details. Scales allow for better accuracy and a better brew - the Timemore Black Mirror BASIC 2 is one of our favourites.

Coffee Gifts for the Traveler & Mountain Adventurer
Rumour has it that coffee tastes best in the backcountry or on top of a summit. (And we speak from experience, of course!) You can further heighten your coffee experience with Eclipse’s specialty coffee beans and travel-friendly gear.
Adventure-Ready Coffee Gear for Outdoor Lovers
- Reusable Miir Travel Mug: So you never get a full-day into a trip before realising you have your brew gear but no way to actually drink the coffee.
- The Aerobie AeroPress: Compact, rugged, and built for the Bow Valley lifestyle. This little brewer turns any summit, campsite, or tailgate into your own personal café.
- Cosy Eclipse Beanie:Warm enough for frosty trailheads, cosy enough for slow café days. Made for anyone who feels most at home surrounded by peaks (and coffee!).
Eco-Friendly Coffee Gifts for the Low-Waste Living Enthusiast
At Eclipse, we’re always looking for creative ways to reduce our footprint while keeping your coffee fresh. That’s why we partnered with Grounded Packaging earlier in the year. We’re happy to say that our bean bags are now made from a post-consumer recycled material. It’s a small but meaningful improvement, and a nice fit for anyone who leans toward low-waste living
If you know that your loved one has a New Year’s resolution of living more sustainably, then these gifts will help them achieve just that.
Sustainable Coffee Gift Ideas for Low-Waste Living
- Hario Refillable Glass Coffee Canister: Keeps coffee fresher for longer and helps reduce packaging waste. Fully refillable and perfect for regular coffee drinkers.

Stocking Stuffers & Small Surprises for Coffee Lovers
Trying to decide on stocking stuffers is an annual, holiday conundrum. Most people default to the tried-and-true option: chocolate. And while there’s nothing wrong with chocolate, we also have some fun alternatives at Eclipse. Discover stocking-sized, coffee-themed surprises that bring a little added joy to Christmas morning.

Coffee-themed Gift Bundles Worth Waking Up For
