From the Clive team
$1,199
The GO is the single-boiler that makes entry-level Espresso feel more buttoned up. It has PID temperature control, an integrated shot timer in the display, an easily reached pressure adjustment on top, and a fast heat-up mode that gets you pulling shots in minutes. German-built and compact.
Mazzer Philos Single Dose Coffee Grinder
$1,595
Our top-selling grinder, and the single-dose grinder the Clive braintrust recommends most. The Philos was engineered from scratch for single dosing rather than adapted from a hopper grinder, with retention near zero. Handmade in Venice, for the enthusiast who loves experimenting and switching up what they're brewing easily and often.
Ratio Eight Series 2 Coffee Maker
$699
The ultimate one-touch coffee maker. Push the button and the Ratio Eight runs an automatic bloom cycle, holds a consistent brew temperature, and sends water through a plastic-free brew path. It also happens to be one of the best-looking objects you can put on a counter. For the person who hosts, or anyone who wants café-quality batch coffee and would rather not think about it.
Still deciding
Some people on your list are done buying hardware and already have the setup. What they don't have is the hour of instruction that would make it taste the way it's supposed to.
