1. Ask the coffee lover about their favorite coffee. Strike up a casual conversation if you want it to remain a secret that you're buying them a gift. Remember to ask where you can buy the coffee they like best. Ask what they like best about their favorite coffee. This can help you buy other gifts that relate to coffee. For example, if they like a hazelnut coffee, you can buy hazelnuts or a coffee mug that relates to this theme.
2. Buy a coffee shop gift card. Go to the coffee connoisseur's favorite coffee shop and buy them a gift card. Then, the coffee lover chooses their own coffee.

5. Purchase some coffee additives. Creamers and sugar are just the beginning of the types of additives to coffee. Some people add honey, syrup and even herbs to the coffee. Alcohol such as coffee liqueurs, bourbon and gin adds to coffee flavor too. Find out if your coffee connoisseur likes any of these flavorings.
