MoMA permanent collection since 1943 — and it makes exceptional coffee
The Chemex is both a brewing device and a piece of American design history — it's been in the MoMA permanent collection since 1943. The hourglass glass shape, wooden collar, and leather tie make it one of the most striking objects in any kitchen. The thick Chemex filters produce an exceptionally clean, bright cup. For a dad who appreciates beautiful objects that also work perfectly, this is a gift he'll display on the counter and use every morning.

The Wacaco Nanopresso makes a genuine espresso shot using hand-pumping — no electricity, no pods. Pocket-sized and under 1 lb, it's the gift for a coffee-loving dad who travels, camps, or works away from a coffee machine. For road trips, camping, and office use it produces real crema-topped espresso that makes instant coffee completely obsolete.

The Fellow Carter Move is the travel mug that serious coffee drinkers choose — a leak-proof lid that opens and closes with one hand, double-wall vacuum insulation that keeps coffee hot for hours, and a ceramic-coated interior that doesn't affect flavor the way stainless steel does. For a dad who drives to work with coffee, this is the upgrade from whatever he currently uses that he'll notice on day one.
