Holiday Gifts from Equator Coffees
“Crafted to bring people together, Equator Coffees’ Holiday Blend celebrates the festive season with rich, warming flavors in every cup. We’re especially proud of this year’s blend, as 5% of all sales will directly support our partners at Suke Quto, a coffee farm in Ethiopia’s Guji region featured in this blend. Funds raised will go toward the Suke Quto School Project, which aims to enhance local schools by providing much-needed desks for students in the community.”
This year’s gift assortment from Equator includes a delicious Holiday Blend Coffee (in a bag featuring stunning art, as is so often the vibe with Equator), along with a charming mug, Equator Blend ornament (seen above), a Mill Valley Mornings candle, and adorable Equator Tiger socks.

The Verve Dwell Dripper
Verve’s first ever brewing device is the Dwell Dripper. “This silicone pourover dripper has a unique bottomless design that enables a free-flowing brewing process, producing a beautifully crafted cup of coffee in less than three minutes. Inspired by the elegant simplicity of Japanese single-use brewers, Verve’s Dwell Dripper features a design that suspends the coffee filter within the brewer, eliminating the unwanted restriction commonly found in other pourover designs that often result in inconsistent coffee. This unrestrictive design enables a free-flowing method, creating an aromatic brew, whether you’re at home, on the road, or anywhere you need a perfect cup of coffee. Crafted from BPA-free silicone, the Dwell Dripper is the ultimate unbreakable brewing companion.
We had fun brewing with the Dwell on a recent episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast, and we think this Dwell will look swell under the tree this season.
