Check Latest Price: 

You know what being a teacher means, first and foremost? Late nights. Really late nights. There are even memes about it, showing a whole apartment building in the night with only one window still lit, the window of a teacher. Just like most humor, this meme isn’t really just a joke: being a teacher requires a lot of late hours of studying and preparing for class. And since that is the case, most teachers are also little caffeine addicts. So what could you buy for a person that fits the description? Most coffee aficionados already possess a coffee maker, but few of them also have a latte maker, you see, so this is why this teacher gift suggestion is actually so sneaking brilliant.
