Christmas present for wife French Press coffee?

Buy a Bodum French press. Nice gift. Include a coffee bean grinder, about $20 and a bag of very gourmet coffee from a coffee/tea shop. A place that grinds and roasts their own.

Those pod coffee makers are expensive and then you are tied to buying the pods until you get sick and tired of the damn machine.

Its really a great idea. There are many varieties of french press coffee machines available on web.You can search the best you want according to your affordability.

french presses are pretty much all the same concept. A glass vessel with a metal strainer and plunger. Bodum is a well known brand. But here are some from amazon.
