	<a title="candle" href="http://sprudge.com/espretsy-holiday-gift-guide.html" ><img src="http://sprudge.com/wp-content/themes/simplereader/functions/timthumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/2011/11/candle.jpg&amp;w=175&amp;h=&amp;zc=1&amp;q=90" alt="candle" class="colabs-image"  /></a>			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Welcome to &#8220;Espretsy&#8221;, Sprudge.com&#8217;s exclusive holiday gift guide to the weird, great and just-gotta-have-it coffee products of Etsy.com!</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s no secret &#8211; Etsy is the world&#8217;s favorite internet depot of handcrafted crap. You didn&#8217;t know you needed this stuff, but Etsy can do it all, offering a one-stop showcase for the Internet Generation&#8217;s retro-grandma delights, who-da-thunks, <a href="http://www.regretsy.com/">and the oft-regrettable dredges of cutesy-wootsy commerce.</a></p>
<p>But did you know there&#8217;s 55,669 entries for &#8220;coffee&#8221; on this crazy website? It&#8217;s true. Some of them (well, most of them) are incredibly lame, but once you peek past the painfully repurposed jute bags and the endless death march of post-ironic cup cozies, there&#8217;s plenty of cool stuff to be found.</p>
<p>We had our interns scour Etsy for weeks to bring you this guide, just in time for the holidays. If you see something you like, order it now &#8211; almost all of this stuff is handmade in small batches, and might get snatched up if you&#8217;re not quick. <strong>Enjoy!<br />
</strong><br />

<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/78585083/coffee-lovers-ring" target="_blank">Coffee Lover&#8217;s Ring</a> - It&#8217;s cute, it&#8217;s quirky, it&#8217;s a coffee demitasse ring! Etsy is chockablock with them, and they&#8217;re all mostly atrocious, but this one is passable. Just don&#8217;t use it to propose to someone, no matter how much of a coffee dork he or she might be.</p>

Just look at that bearskin rug&#8230;</p>

As a side note, will some erstwhile coffee loving rich (or even just kinda rich) person please go BUY the actual Double R Cafe out in Snoqualmie, Washington, and save it from its <a href="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/b0/f6/1f/creepy-tweety-bird-collection.jpg">Tweety Bird purgatory?</a> That place should be a temple to Damn Fine Coffee, and instead it&#8217;s just gross, disappointing and creepy &#8211; and not in an interesting Lynchian way.</p>

<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14883" title="coffeefilterlamp" src="http://sprudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/coffeefilterlamp-330x440.jpg" alt="" width="330" height="440" /></p>

Includes lid, stirrer, and two packets of Sugar In The Raw! Pretty darn cute.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14888" title="tireduseofoctopus" src="http://sprudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/tireduseofoctopus-398x440.jpg" alt="" width="398" height="440" /></p>
<p>Handpainted to-go ceramics are nothing new, but <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/83851789/orange-octopus-ceramic-travel-mug-sea?ref=sr_gallery_23&amp;ga_search_submit=&amp;ga_search_query=coffee&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_ship_to=US&amp;ga_page=50&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_facet=handmade">this ferocious kraken from the deep</a> is a pretty sweet example of the trope.</p>
