FAQ
When should I order so a gift arrives by Christmas?
Order by Dec 15 for most standard shipping, then confirm the store's own cutoff at checkout.
Where do the prices come from?
Prima Coffee prices are checked Nov 5, 2026. Amazon and list prices show the date on each card. Sale prices can be lower.
Do I need to know which machine they own?
A scale, pitcher, knock box, cleaning supplies, and beans work with almost any setup. Tampers and puck screens need to match the basket size: 54 mm on most Breville home machines, 58 mm on machines like the Gaggia Classic Pro.
