Holiday Small Appliances Gift Guide
Finding the perfect present takes effort. You want to give your friends and family something that feels special and splurge-worthy, but is also something they’ll actually use. So where can you find such a stylish-yet-practical gift this holiday season? The Café Countertop Appliance Expressions Collection. This collection of sophisticated small appliances has something for everyone on your list, with a style they’ll love to look at and functionality they’ll appreciate daily.
Café Express Finish Toaster
Whether you’re shopping for someone with a fast-paced lifestyle or one who just appreciates good design and a hot breakfast, the Café Express Finish Toaster is a gift you can feel warm and, well, toasty about. Exceptionally detailed to complement any Café appliance, this stylish toaster achieves perfect toast in about a minute with express finish mode. Extra wide slots make it easy to enjoy artisanal breads or bagels, and the eight shade options and four pre-set functions mean customization for any preference. An LED ring adds a fancy glow to the appliance while also offering quick assessment of the toaster’s progress.
Available in three curated finishes—stainless steel, matte white and matte black—the Express Finish Toaster is a guaranteed-to-please gift.
Coffee Makers
Coffee lovers are easy to shop for—everyone knows the way to their heart is through an impeccably prepared cup of hot java. This year, skip the coffee shop gift card and give them the ability to brew their ideal cup at home.
Designed to express individual style, your loved one will savor every drop of their morning coffee with the counter-worthy Café Specialty Drip Coffee Maker. Certified by the Specialty Coffee Association to brew SCA Gold Cup Standard Coffee every time, this gift will be a dream come true for the coffee aficionados in your life. Available with a vacuum seal thermal carafe (insulated to preserve flavor and temperature for up to two hours) or glass carafe, coffee lovers can set an exact temperature and strength they love using voice command via built-in WiFi and the SmartHQ app.
With a selection of curated finishes (stainless steel, matte white and matte black), a Specialty Drip Coffee Maker becomes a countertop style icon while adding top-notch convenience for anyone on your holiday shopping list. They’ll thank you again and again as they soak in the aromas of perfectly brewed coffee.
Espresso Machines
Know someone who’s always at the local coffee shop? Give them an at-home barista experience with a Café Espresso Machine, a new line that allows you to hand-craft any cappuccino, latte or espresso drink – hot or cold! – that you’d find at a coffee shop.
The distinctly designed Café Affetto Automatic Espresso Machine and the Café Bellissimo Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine feature powerful infusion (20 Bar in the Affetto, 15 Bar in the Bellissimo), built-in WiFi for convenient controls via the SmartHQ app, and curated matte white, matte black and steel silver finishes.
At just 7 inches wide, the Affetto is minimalistic without sacrificing features and is designed for the on-the-go caffeine lover. Aficionados looking for a one-touch solution will love the automatic machine’s ability to create custom cups of espresso or Americano in less than 90 seconds. Bellissimo’s sophistication rivals any upscale coffee joint, featuring both beauty and flexibility in its chic design. Coffee lovers will enjoy the semi-automatic machine’s ability to customize flawless flavors with an adjustable grinder (with 15 settings from coarse to fine) and a built-in steam frother for expert lattes, cappuccinos and more.
With these design-minded, useful gifts, you’ll check off your list in no time and make every recipient happy year-round. And, if you’re lucky, once they hone those at-home espressos and perfectly-crisp morning breads, they just might say ‘thank you’ with a breakfast customized just for you.
