A daily ritual

For a properly unhurried cup.

Before buying for someone who cares about coffee or tea, find out how they make it. A lovely brewing accessory can be completely wrong for their usual routine. Check the method, the size, and whether any extra filters or equipment are needed. I start with a small change they have expressed interest in, rather than an unsolicited upgrade to a setup they like. Add a plan to try it together, or ask which beans or tea they would choose. Skip caffeine-related gifts when you do not know their preferences. The useful detail is their morning, not a coffee-themed slogan.
