I think rather than jump from instant coffee to a full blown bean to cup machine which is a fair commitment I'd start by introducing him to drinking the better stuff even if it's pre-ground and a french press or a drip machine. You can always grind them some fresh beans and introduce them to that concept later.

I totally agree with this. Modest outlay on a cafetiere (and also a dualit grinder IMO) and see how he gets on with that for a few months, then take it from there.

They seem quite keen on a bean to cup machine so are looking at the options.

I have one so I'm aware of their limitations so this isn't for a public flogging, I just want to see what the new generation of machines are capable of.
