We love to drink coffee, and with cafés sprouting left and right, we tend to try different coffee drinks. Japanese cafés are trendy anywhere, and we wanted to have a Japanese café interior or products in our homes. Some of us, coffee lovers, even buy espresso machines and other coffee-making tools. Coffee-making is tastier and warmer to your heart when your loved ones give you coffee-related items, or you can make your coffee-enthusiast friends happy when you give one to them.  I hope this guide will help you choose and decide what is the best yet surprising coffeeware gift to have, especially on the holiday season from the leading coffeeware makers in Japan.
