22 of the very best gifts for coffee lovers, from the surprising to the delightful

If there's one thing coffee lovers hate, it's gadgets and accessories that they'll never actually use. I should know, because as a self-described coffee lover I've written extensively about the coffee accessories that make enjoying a cup of coffee even better, like the small espresso machine that packs a powerful punch and the smart heated coffee mug that I like to use on leisurely mornings. 

So when you're thinking about what gift to buy the coffee lover in your life, think outside the box for unique and luxurious gifts that will surprise and delight them. After all, they probably have enough coffee mugs already and probably don't need to add another one to their collection.

From the coffee candy spotted in a K-drama, to the heavyweight coffee scoops that be used "as a projectile to deter crime," according to one reviewer, there's no shortage of enjoyable gifts out there for coffee lovers. I've even included a few favorites like the Italian chocolate that pairs nicely with a strong espresso and a croissant lamp for those who prefer their morning caffeine with a side of pastry.
