Of all the best gifts for new dads that would be universally loved, it would be a coffee maker. This one makes all kinds—Classic, Rich, Over Ice, or Specialty Brew—and can fill any sized cup up to a full carafe. He can forget the diluted taste of coffee pods and fill this maker with his favorite ground beans instead. Plus, it comes with a fold-away frother that can be removed for easy cleaning. It’ll be their daily dose of happiness and energy. Two for one.
