If you’ve got a wedding to attend this summer and want to get the happy couple something you know they’re going to really appreciate, you might want to consider some equipment to help them brew delicious coffee or espresso at home.
Lucky for you, we’ve compiled a complete gift guide of all the best coffee and espresso gifts around—gifts we’re 100% certain the newlywed coffee lovers in your life are going to absolutely adore.
Super-Automatic Espresso Machines
Lots of people think a pod brewing machine is the easiest, most convenient way to get a decent cup of coffee in the morning.
These people clearly haven't heard of super automatic espresso machines.
A super-auto is just as convenient as a pod brewer, but vastly superior in so many ways: they offer much greater variety in terms of the drinks they can make, they brew freshly-ground coffee (so it will taste better), AND they actually save money over time.
Here are some of our picks for the best super-auto options around at a variety of price-points:
The Gaggia Accademia is a luxury, Italian-built super-auto with stainless steel housing and a full-color, glass touchscreen display. Its menu of 19 beverages is fully customizable and the auto-frothing carafe makes gorgeous, silky foam for lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos. It’s the kind of gift a newly wed couple will love immediately and for years to come.Gaggia Accademia
For the couple who loves simple shots of espresso, it would be hard to find a better coffee gift than the JURA E4. It does one thing and does it unbelievably well—it brews complex, cafe-quality shots of espresso. With its patented Pulse Extraction Process and app-compatibility, there simply isn’t a better super-auto out there for espresso lovers.Jura E4
For the price, the Gaggia Anima Prestige is probably the best super-auto available. For under $600, you get a machine that brews astoundingly excellent espresso and prepares lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos at the touch of a button. It’s easy to use and compact, so it’s sure to fit on any counter.Gaggia Anima Prestige
