You might still be riding the Third Wave coffee movement if you can discuss the aromatic nuances and mouthfeel of your preferred region of coffee bean, if you’ve made your own cold brew at home or if you knew — unprompted — that National Cofee Day is fast approaching. 

Even if you’re not a proud coffee snob, we know you jones for your java, and to a lesser extent, your leaves. Over half of U.S. adults (64%) drink at least one cuppa joe per day, according to National Coffee Association research released last year. We wonder how many of those might’ve been matcha lattes.

When it comes to coffee, you may grind your own beans and use the pour-over method or go the French press route. Some of you are loyal to Starbucks, while others traipse to your neighborhood cafe for your daily blend — or simply switch on your auto-drip coffee maker for a couple basic, get-the-job-done morning cups. Whatever your way is, we’ve got some must-have items for you (we know you’ll stay awake for this) or the lovable coffee-obsessive in your life to celebrate National Coffee Day.

They burn with a bright, consistent glow thanks to double wooden wicks, one of which crackles for a cozy fireplace effect. And they’ll last for up to 60 hours.

If you’re like me you need at least 3 travel coffee mugs in circulation at any given time to make up for how often I leave them at work or elsewhere.
