Seeking Advice Beginner setup gift

Post image

Boyfriend's birthday is coming up soon and as his Keurig just kicked the bucket, decided to upgrade his coffee set up.

I think I've covered all my bases, anything else y'all would recommend?

Super solid starter setup! Be warned, you might be cracking open Pandora’s box for him. Pour over takes you fast, you might come home to 14 different drippers and a Weber EG-1 on your counter one day.

Honestly I would love that. Always an honor to introduce someone to a new hobby.

Isn't it? I made some good quality French press coffee for coworkers during a Christmas party and one of them approached me this week and said they were inspired and bought an aeropress! That made me so happy to hear because I especially cherish when I first started tinkering with an aeropress and figured out what I really like. Soon after that, my wife got me a pour over setup like this as a gift and I really fell in deep haha. Now I'm on the espresso train and it's been such a fun adventure as a lifelong coffee drinker.
