### 🏆 Top Pick: **Timemore Black Mirror Basic+ Coffee Scale with Timer**
**Why:** While the book is deeply sentimental, the Timemore scale is a *daily-use upgrade* that actively enhances a ritual he already loves. As a retired civil engineer, he will appreciate the elegant, minimalist design and the satisfying precision of timing and weighing his coffee doses. It turns his existing Bialetti setup into a more deliberate, engineering-minded craft. Plus, at ~€45–€50, it leaves you enough room in the €80 budget to pair it with a special bag of freshly roasted espresso beans from a local Porto roastery, making the gift feel complete, luxurious, and highly personalized.

First read: five product links (two Amazon.es, Wook, Bertrand, Worten) plus a Bertrand author page; prices as ranges on four of five; delivery claimed per item. Idea 2, a book on the bridges of Porto for a civil engineer, is the one idea in the whole test that uses the "civil engineer" line. Checks in the sheet.
