Coffee is, quite literally, the fuel of my motherhood. And I dare say it’s the same for many of my fellow mums out there. This beautiful dark liquid is what keeps us going without a constant scowl on our faces from the lack of sleep and high-energy little people in our house.
If you’re looking for a gift for a new mum, or just any mum really, you can’t go wrong with a coffee-themed gift. Regardless of whether they love coffee or not, they will definitely love the ideas I’ve compiled here.

Have a second cup of coffee, it’s safe for mums-to-be
Second-Cup Co is a new startup founded by Melbournian siblings and coffee lovers, Alex and Laura. A month-to-month subscription service, they deliver fresh locally roasted coffee Australia-wide, grounded to your exact specification so it produces a perfect cuppa from your machine.
Decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process (a 100% chemical-free method), Second-Cup coffee conserves the distinctive flavour characteristics of their single-origin Heirloom Ethiopian beans.
A social business at heart, they donate $1 from every subscription, every month, to a charity that improves the lives of Australian women and babies.
Due to start taking subscriptions in May 2020, they need a minimum number of people on their waitlist before they can launch the subscription programme. It’s free to join their waitlist and only takes a second to show your support of local Australian startups.

Inspirational Books For Coffee Lovers
Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
An intriguing modern tale of time travel
Set in Tokyo, a cafe that is more than a hundred years old has one magical seat that allows its patron to travel back in time. But there is a catch: They are not allowed to leave the cafe while in the past, and they must return before the coffee gets cold.
Before The Coffee Gets Cold is a heartwarming and thought-provoking read, but bear in mind that this is translated from Japanese, which is a very poetic language, so the English version might feel disjointed to some.

rCup – Made From Disposable Coffee Cups
Designed by former Dyson designer and inventor Dan Dicker
The rCup is a revolutionary reusable coffee cup that is more like a flask. The fully leakproof lid is a press top design with 360-degree drinking – you can push down the middle with one finger and drink anywhere along the rim like a normal open cup.
