1. Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug
For the outdoorsy or always-on-the-go dad
If your dad’s idea of peace is sipping coffee on a trailhead or in the car on the way to a morning surf, this mug was made for him. It’s tough, leakproof, and keeps coffee hot for up to 7 hours (or cold for 10). Its portable, practical design makes it a great choice for the guy who values ease of use and convenience. The push-button lid makes one-handed sipping easy—perfect for dads who always have their hands full. Whether he’s commuting, camping, or coaching early soccer games, this rugged classic will become his go-to.
2. Crema Bottomless Portafilter
For the espresso-loving dad perfecting his technique
Is your dad the type who wakes up early to dial in his espresso shots just right? Then he needs a bottomless portafilter in his toolkit. Ours is designed specifically for Breville machines and allows him to see his shot as it pours, giving real-time feedback on channeling, distribution, and tamping. The result? He'll enjoy better-tasting shots, gain deeper espresso knowledge—and let’s be honest, it just looks cool. Choose from elegant walnut or maple handles to match his setup.
3. French Press Coffee Maker
For the dad who enjoys slow mornings and bold flavor
Some dads don’t want a complicated machine or need precise tools—they just want a rich, comforting cup of coffee that feels like a ritual. A French press delivers. It’s timeless, durable, and brings out the body and oils in coffee for a deeper flavor profile. This simple ritual can create amazing memories and connections between dad and his family, making every morning special. Add a bag of our Pacaya Gold beans (tasting notes: Milk Duds, graham cracker, chocolate) to the gift for a cozy, no-fuss brewing experience he’ll love.
4. Crema Tamping Mat
For the tidy espresso dad who values a clean, organized setup
If your dad takes pride in a neat and dialed-in espresso station, this tamping mat will be right up his alley. It protects both his countertop and his gear, giving him a clean, grippy surface to tamp on—no more sliding portafilters or scratched counters. It’s made from durable, food-safe silicone and has a compact footprint, making it perfect for small setups. Simple, smart, and a gift he’ll use every single day.
5. Crema Beans Sampler Pack
For the curious dad who loves variety and flavor
Let Dad discover his favorite roast with our curated sampler pack. It includes a mix of blends—like The Classic (bold and creamy), Nomad Blend (smooth and sweet), and Serra Blend (with notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, and raisin). Each one is roasted to highlight character, and whether he brews espresso, drip, or French press, he’ll enjoy exploring the spectrum of flavor. Pro tip: Wrap it in a box with a pair of items, such as a mug and a brewing tool, for a complete gift set.
6. Bonavita Electric Gooseneck Kettle
For the dad who’s all about pour-over precision
If your dad geeks out over brewing temps or lives by the Chemex, a variable-temperature electric kettle is a must. Bonavita’s gooseneck model offers exact temperature control, a comfortable grip, and precision pouring—essential for evenly saturated grounds. It also heats quickly and maintains temp, so he can brew with confidence every time. This gift says, “I see your pour-over ritual, and I support it.”
7. Crema WDT Tool
For the dad leveling up his espresso extractions
Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. This little guy, the WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) tool, helps evenly distribute espresso grounds before tamping, reducing clumps and preventing channeling. This means better shots, more flavor, and more consistency. For dads who already have the basics down, this tool takes their barista game to the next level.
8. Manual Burr Grinder
For the dad who values freshness and control
Freshly ground beans are a game-changer—and a quality hand grinder puts that power in Dad’s hands (literally). Ideal for pour-over, French press, AeroPress, and even espresso, a burr grinder ensures consistent particle size, better extraction, and fuller flavor. It’s also quiet, travel-friendly, and a great way to slow down the brew process. Easy to carry, it’s perfect for dads who want fresh coffee anywhere. If your dad enjoys tinkering and tasting, this is one of the most satisfying tools he’ll own.
9. Crema Puck Screen
For the dad who’s chasing clean extractions and tidy pucks
Small but mighty, the puck screen sits on top of the espresso grounds and helps disperse water evenly through the puck during extraction. The result? Less channeling, better-tasting espresso, and an easier cleanup. If your dad is already pulling bottomless shots, this is a simple upgrade that delivers noticeable results.
10. the ARC - Knock Box
For the dad who hates mess but loves espresso
If Dad’s knocking spent espresso pucks into the trash or sink, it’s time for a better solution. Crema’s knock box, the ARC, is compact, easy to clean, and designed to take a beating. It keeps his bar clean, saves time, and makes him look like the espresso pro he is. A small gift with a big daily impact.
11. Crema Tamper & Distributor Combo
For the dad who loves efficiency and precision
This 2-in-1 tool is a home barista’s dream. One side levels and distributes the grounds; the other side tamps them into a perfect, compact puck. It saves time, ensures consistency, and looks sleek on any coffee bar. If Dad is working with a Breville machine and wants fewer tools but better performance, this combo will be his new go-to.
Other Perfect Gift Ideas to Elevate Father’s Day
Not every perfect gift comes wrapped in a box, some are all about the little upgrades that bring daily joy. Beyond the classic gear and gadgets, there are plenty of thoughtful ways to make Dad’s coffee moments even better. Here are a few more ideas to help the Father’s Day experience.
Coffee Table Essentials: Elevate Dad’s Coffee Space
A great coffee table isn’t just a place to set down a mug—it’s the heart of dad’s coffee ritual. To elevate his coffee space, consider adding a few essentials that combine style and function. A beautiful coffee table book can spark conversation and inspire new brewing techniques, while a decorative tray keeps his favorite cups and saucers organized.
Fresh flowers in a vase or a couple of cozy throw pillows can make the space even more inviting. If your dad loves to host family or friends, look for a coffee table with clever features like built-in wine and cheese storage or a hidden snack compartment. These thoughtful touches will turn his coffee table into a fantastic gathering spot he’ll love to use every day.
DIY and Homemade Coffee Gifts
Sometimes, the most memorable Father’s Day gifts are the ones you make yourself. DIY coffee gifts are a wonderful way to show dad just how much you care. Try your hand at crafting a homemade coffee syrup in his favorite flavor, or roast a small batch of coffee beans for a truly personal touch. You could also customize a coffee mug with a heartfelt message, a funny quote, or even a family photo.
For an extra-special treat, assemble a coffee-themed gift basket filled with his favorite snacks, a bag of fresh beans, and a few tasty surprises. No matter what you create, your dad will appreciate the time, effort, and love that went into making his gift.
Outdoor and Adventure: Coffee Gear for Dads on the Go
For dads who love adventure, the right coffee gear can make every outing even better. If your dad is always on the move—whether he’s camping, hiking, or just heading out for a day trip—a portable and durable coffee maker is a fantastic gift.
Look for options like a compact French press, a lightweight pour-over dripper, or a rugged thermos that keeps his coffee hot for hours. A vacuum-insulated bottle or a travel-friendly grinder can also be a game-changer for dads who want great coffee wherever they go. With the right gear, your dad can enjoy his favorite brew no matter where life takes him—making every adventure a little more delicious.
Final Thoughts
Dads do a lot—and they deserve a coffee routine that feels just as thoughtful as they are. As you celebrate him, look forward to many future coffee moments together, creating memories that last well beyond the gift itself. Whether you’re upgrading his espresso tools or surprising him with a travel-ready mug, these gifts are designed to bring a little more joy to every cup.
And who knows? Maybe he’ll make you a cappuccino next time you visit.
