JAVA GIFT GUIDE 2025/2026 – what to buy when it’s 9 December and you’ve just realised Santa doesn’t do the shopping for you
Gifts are a lot like brewing coffee: for a moment you feel like you’ve got everything under control. Christmas playlists have been playing since November, freshly ground coffee smells amazing on your desk, and you — full of good intentions — tell yourself: “This year there will be no last-minute panic.”
And suddenly it’s 9 December. You have absolutely no idea how that happened.
In one hand you’re holding a mug, in the other — your phone with an open gift list that looks like it was written by someone who still believes there are two months left until Christmas.
Don’t worry. JAVA doesn’t judge. JAVA understands. JAVA is here to save your December — beautifully, fast, and without running around shopping malls.
Especially since freshly roasted coffee needs a moment to rest. So if you want your gift to smell like coffee and not like desperation — it’s better to click now, not on 23 December at 22:48.
Order by 15 December — the parcel will arrive on time, and you’ll earn the reputation of someone who “had everything sorted this year.” Yes, you’re allowed to brag about it.
And now let’s get to the point: who are you buying a gift for?
Because the truth is, every family has a few characteristic coffee types. And if you don’t recognise them yet — don’t worry, we’re about to help.
FOR THE DRIP FAN
(The kind of person who has 8 drippers at home and insists each one has a different purpose)
If you think this person is overly pedantic, know that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Drip fans can: – put their phone away while brewing, – sit in silence like a monk when water touches coffee, – explain to the whole family the difference between bloom and turbulence.
Do they do this at the Christmas table? Sometimes, yes.
Do we forgive them? Absolutely. Because that level of passion deserves a gift that says: “I know you brew your coffee in four stages. And I respect that.”
What to get them?
- Pour-over sets with two specialty coffees — ideally freshly roasted and ready for winter cuppings.
- KINTO: because if someone cares about pre-infusion, they definitely care about design too.
- Light-roasted coffees for drip — the kind that “almost brew themselves”, but taste like café coffee.
💡 Pro tip: this is the best gift if you want that one person in the family to level out everyone’s caffeine levels.
FOR TEAM ESPRESSO
(Fast, strong, no overthinking — a life measured in 25 seconds)
They know when extraction has “dropped off”. They hear it. They feel it. These are not people who start their day with conversation. These are people who start their day with a shot.
And there’s nothing wrong with that. On the contrary — it’s thanks to them that the Christmas atmosphere functions at all.
For this group it’s all about the result, not the ritual.
What to get them?
- Espresso sets: intense, bold, winter-ready.
- KINTO Tumbler — for people who never have time to drink coffee at home.
- Winter Espresso: Guatemala San Pedro Laguna — wintery, chocolatey and nutty, perfect with milk and in a small black cup.
This gift says:
“I see your love for 25 seconds. We’re on the same side of the force.”
FOR THE BLANKET PEOPLE
(The ones who say “I’ll be right back to work” and then disappear for 40 minutes with a tea)
These are the people who experience winter as a hygge season. Warmth, peace, blanket, fairy lights, tea, maybe a spiced latte… They’re not coffee perfectionists. They’re coffee empaths.
For them, coffee and tea are not drinks. They are an emotional state.
What to get them?
- Sets with SUKI Tea and chocolates — soft, calm, wintery.
- Gentler coffees that smell like December: chocolate, dried fruit, nuts.
- Bacanha syrups — because a single pump can turn an ordinary Sunday into a mini holiday.
This gift says: “You have time. Brew slowly.”
FOR THOSE WHO WANT A “WOW” GIFT, NOT AN “OH… THANKS”
Everyone wants at least one gift that makes the other person say: “Wow, how did you choose this?”
And then you can reply: “Well… I know what I’m doing.”
(You don’t have to mention that JAVA helped.)
What to choose?
- any JAVA Christmas set — because it looks like a premium gift without the premium price tag,
- and one bottle of Bacanha, non-negotiable.
It works like an upgrade to first class — but for just a few dozen złoty.
FOR PEOPLE WHO “DON’T NEED ANYTHING”
The toughest group.
They always say: “Don’t get me anything.”
But when they receive a good coffee — they drink it quietly, as if they didn’t want to admit it was actually a great idea.
The best gift is one that doesn’t require any effort from them.
No instructions.
No complicated tools.
Just open it, brew it, smile.
Recommendations:
- tasting sets with ready-made coffee combinations,
- SUKI Tea,
- Bacanha syrup, a gift from the “I didn’t know I needed this” category.
WHAT IF YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COFFEE?
This is the best part — you don’t have to.
All you need to know is who you’re buying the gift for.
We’ll take care of the rest.
The sets are festive, beautifully designed and safe in terms of choice.
You’re not at risk of hearing: “But I don’t drink anything under 87 points on SCA…”
No. Here, everyone’s going to be happy.
A QUICK CHEAT SHEET FOR BUSY PEOPLE
- Drip people: pour-over sets + KINTO
- Espresso team: Winter Espresso + tumbler
- Blanket people: SUKI teas + Bacanha
- “I don’t know what to buy” → pick any JAVA Christmas set
- Want something extra? → add Bacanha
In summary — a gift is a ritual
You give someone a coffee that smells like a winter morning. Or a tea that acts like a soft blanket in liquid form. Or a syrup that says: “enjoy the little things.”
These are gifts that don’t shout. They don’t need explaining. They behave exactly the way you want things to be in December: they work.
Order by 15 December.
After that you can just drink your coffee in peace and pretend everything was planned from the start.
