For the person who is constantly on the go, treat them to the Fellow Carter Everywhere Travel Mug. Designed with coffee drinkers in mind, the Fellow makes every aspect of preparing, transporting, and drinking coffee enjoyable — even when you're sitting in wall-to-wall traffic. The drinking experience is similar to drinking out of a regular coffee cup. The lid screws off, and there's no plastic cutout for your mouth to find. And get this: You can even brew a pour-over directly into the mug's wide mouth.

Not only can you set the exact temperature you want, but there is also a setting for cold foam."

No coffee drinker should ever experience a stale cup of coffee. But if you grind your beans in the same place you buy them, it's almost inevitable. That's where the Coffee Gator comes in. This handy canister keeps coffee fresh for weeks, equipped with valves to release carbon dioxide emitted by the grounds (which can dull flavor over time). You're about to change a coffee lover's life right here.

Coffee enthusiasts may roll their eyes at the thought of instant coffee. But the Cometeer Coffee Box will almost certainly prove them wrong. Using liquid nitrogen to flash-freeze coffee at minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit, these flavor-packed pods — a collaboration between well-known coffee roasters, including Counter Culture Coffee and Joe Coffee — preserve as much flavor as you'd expect of any cup of coffee, instant or not. The best part is it takes all the effort out of brewing your favorite cup. Add the frozen puck to your mug with 6 to 8 ounces of water (either hot or iced) and stir. The coffee is made without preservatives but still has an 18-month freezer life.
