Holiday Coffee Gift Guide: 5 Gifts for Coffee Lovers

For the one who wants to try every origin. The host who always pours another cup. The person whose coffee order you could never guess.

Give them a tasting afternoon, their next favorite coffee, or twelve deliveries to look forward to. Our holiday coffee gift guide brings together five ways to give First Light Roasters, starting with coffee flights from East Africa and Latin America.

For the curious coffee drinker

Coffee flights: a tasting worth sharing

Three coffees, one origin at a time. A flight gives someone a reason to brew a little more slowly, compare cups, and find a new favorite. It is our first pick for the friend who always asks what you are drinking.

Each flight contains three 6 oz bags of whole bean coffee, 18 oz total. They will need a grinder. Add a note inviting them to taste the coffees with you over the holidays.

Gift cards: their coffee, their choice

First Light Roasters digital gift card, A moment worth giving — Choose a design and send a personal message.

From $10

You know they love coffee. You might not know which origin, roast, or brewing method they are exploring this month. A digital gift card lets them follow their own curiosity.

Choose from two designs, add your message, and select the day the email arrives. Pick $25, $50, $75, $100, $150, or $200, or a whole-dollar amount from $10 to $1,000.

A good last-minute choice: email delivery means there is no parcel to wait for.

Coffee subscriptions: keep a good thing going

First Light Roasters Kenya whole bean coffee, 12 oz — Kenya: blackcurrant, grapefruit, and brown sugar.

Price varies by coffee and schedule

If you already know which coffee they reach for, keep it coming. Choose an eligible coffee and select Subscribe & save on its product page, then choose weekly, every two weeks, or monthly delivery.

Kenya is a place to begin for someone who enjoys blackcurrant, grapefruit, and brown sugar notes. Choose their size and preparation, then review the subscription price before checkout.

Choose the right arrangement: subscriptions have recurring charges. For a prepaid gift that ends after twelve deliveries, choose the Year of Coffee membership instead.

Choose a Kenya subscription

For the host, the friend, the everyday coffee lover

Coffee beans: something good for the holiday table

Bring a bag to the person hosting dinner, tuck one into a gift for a friend, or choose a coffee you can brew together after dessert. An individual bag is a small gesture with room for real thought.

Start with their taste. Kenya suits someone who enjoys blackcurrant and citrus; Ethiopia Guji offers jasmine, peach, and black tea. Choose whole bean for someone with a grinder, or a ground option suited to their brewer.

Before you give

A few useful answers

Which holiday coffee gift should I choose?

Choose a flight for someone who enjoys exploring origins, a gift card when you are unsure of their preferences, or Year of Coffee for a prepaid gift with twelve deliveries. A subscription suits someone whose favorite coffee you already know.

Do the coffee flights come ground?

Both flights contain whole bean coffee: three 6 oz bags, 18 oz total. Choose them for someone with a grinder.

Does Year of Coffee renew automatically?

No. The $399 membership covers twelve deliveries and includes shipping. Standard coffee subscriptions have recurring charges and can be changed, skipped, or canceled through the subscriber's account.

Can I arrange a gift close to the holiday?

A digital gift card can be emailed on the day you choose. For physical gifts, allow time for roasting, shipping, and transit, and check current delivery information before ordering.

A gift chosen with them in mind

Start with what they love.

A new origin, a familiar favorite, or the freedom to choose. Give them coffee they will look forward to opening.
