There is no better coffee gift for the coffee lover in your life  than buying them some of the best coffee they will ever drink.

The rise of the subscription box a few years ago saw brands sprout up in all sorts of wonderful sectors offering monthly deliveries of goodness. 

Coffee subscription services have always managed to stick around though and seem to have stood the test of time while other more fleeting sub boxes have disappeared. 

If you are looking for a unique coffee gift for this Valentines Day then a coffee subscription could certainly be your ticket. 

Batch coffee showcase the very best independent coffee roasters throughout the UK in each subscription box.

There is nothing better to enjoy your coffee in than a beautiful coffee cup.

There are hundreds and thousands of coffee mugs out there in pretty much any shape and size you can imagine and actually the chalice in which you consume your coffee is - much like specialty coffee, down to preference. 

However, for us, I don’t think you can get better than a hand-thrown ceramic cup.

If the coffee you are brewing is of high quality then the vessel surely has to match (you wouldn’t drink a good scotch out of a plastic glass).

Checkout some of our favourite ceramic coffee cups at Woven Rosa.

Avoid marking your grandmothers antique coffee table with coffee rings with a set of stylish coffee coasters.

Rather than opting for the classic wooden or plastic style coaster why not adventure into the world of handmade coffee coasters.

Inspired by the local and colourful landscapes of the region, these unique pieces have been handmade in Oaxaca, Mexico and sourced directly by Woven Rosa.

The coaster sets come in pairs but you can mix and match with lots of different colours to choose from.

Did you know that coffee has more flavour notes than wine?

If your coffee lover is all about the complex flavour profiles then maybe a coffee flavour wheel could be a thoughtful idea.

The iconic coffee flavour wheel was invented to aid anybody who wanted to categorize the delicious flavour notes in their cup of speciality coffee.

It was invented in 1995 and has become the industry standard coffee tasting resource.

Besides the fact that it makes a great piece of coffee artwork it has become the cornerstone of assistance for anyone that wants to talk about the many flavours in specialty coffee.

We taste new coffee everyday to review and potentially showcase in our subscription box.

Our coffee flavour wheel is used to help us better define the complex and subtle notes of certain coffees.

If your coffee snob loves their morning coffee and enjoys the process of making the brew then freshly ground coffee is going to blow their mind. 

A great way to introduce freshly ground coffee into their life is purchasing a handheld coffee grinder.

You can pick up an electric grinder for the same price however the majority of electric grinders at this price point are blade grinders which essentially blend the coffee beans, a big no no in speciality coffee as this ground coffee is of various sizes and results in a cup of coffee that can be over and under-extracted.

Handheld grinders use burrs, typically ceramic that grind the coffee to a consistent coarseness so the coffee can brew to perfection. 

They are also great for travelling with and fit inside a backpack. Great for those romantic weekends away. 

For a coffee lover who is now beyond just lobbing a couple of heaped teaspoons into a cafetiere and wants to nail their morning brew, coffee scales make a great coffee gift for valentines day.

Although one may think that this is a little over the top, coffee scales are a necessity in any speciality coffee shop, whether it’s espresso, stovetop, Aeropress, V60, Chemex or Cafetiere your coffee lover brews, to really create the best cup of coffee the brew ratio needs to be consistent. 

A few features that coffee scales have that are different from normal kitchen scales is they are normally accurate to 0.1 gram which is super accurate and can really make a difference with certain brew methods.

There is also usually a timer for pour over methods so you don’t have to keep getting your phone out and can be used for taking selfies of you weighing your coffee.

If the coffee lover in your life has a home espresso machine then a brand new coffee tamper could be the coffee gadget that makes this Valentine's day special. 

The coffee tamper is used to press the ground coffee into the portafilter basket and make a compact puck so the water can extract the coffee evenly. 

Although most home espresso machines come with a coffee tamper they are usually pretty basic. 

There are a range of coffee tampers online at all sorts of price points, functionality and sizes (the diameter of the basket varies between each machine). 

A cafetiere makes a perfect coffee gift for your coffee lover this Valentines as it’s pretty straightforward to make and you can pretty much extract a decent cup first time round.

The cafetiere uses a mesh filter to plunge the coffee into the bottom of the beaker so you can pour the brew directly into your cup. 

They make perfect gifts for people that enjoy full bodied brews that want to experience the world of speciality coffee.  

Just pick up a bag of cafetiere ground coffee from your local coffee roaster here and you have your perfect coffee gift set.

A gooseneck coffee kettle could be exactly what your coffee lover is missing in their coffee set.

The neck of the kettle allows the water to be poured at a more controlled rate, which is needed in most pour over methods.

If your coffee snob is into filter coffee then this could be the perfect Valentine's coffee gift.

Choose between a number of functionalities like electric or stovetop or different designs and materials.

Coffee roasting is as much of an art as it is a science. 

Green coffee is exported into the country and professional coffee roasters both commercial and independent transform the raw coffee beans into deliciously balanced roasted coffee that we purchase from shops and cafes.

If your valentine is a hardcore DIYer you can now purchase a home coffee roaster so that they can experience and create roasted coffee from the raw product. 

There is a huge range in price and functionality in the home coffee roaster sector. Starting fairly cheap at a ceramic pan that you roast coffee on the hob through to industry standard sample roasters that connect to an app. 

It all depends on how far you want to take it!

Well, at least the smell of Italian espresso. 

The stovetop or Italian stovetop is a kitchen staple across Italy and has been the Italians' go-to brew-at-home coffee maker for decades. 

The original Bailetti moka pot was invented in Italy in 1933 and hasn’t changed a great deal since. 

Simply fill the lower chamber with water, the middle brew brackets with pre-ground coffee and screw together.

Place the Mokapot on the hob and wait for the sensory overload of delicious espresso flavours permeating around your kitchen. A perfect way to wake up on Valentine's day.

If you are looking to purchase you loved one some coffee for Valentines day there are a couple of questions that you need to ask first.

First of all, what type of coffee does my valentine like to drink? If they are espresso drinkers then maybe opt for some espresso beans, otherwise they may enjoy filter coffee so how about some single origin specialty coffee beans.

Secondly, find out how your valentine makes their coffee. There is no point buying coffee beans if they only use a Nespresso pod machine.

If you are preparing a gift basket or a coffee gift set there are a number of fairly inexpensive items that you can include that can also go alongside a larger gift.

The first thing to include is some of the best coffee in the UK. Take a look at our one off coffee boxes or pop down to your local coffee roaster (make sure you know if they would prefer whole beans or ground).

A coffee cup or mug always looks good in a coffee gift set. Take a look at our buyers guide for ceramic coffee cups. 

A filter method of some sort can be relatively inexpensive. There are plenty of Pour over methods that you can pick up for less than £10. You will also need to pick up some filter papers (something else to include).

By throwing in a coffee book there will be something to do while enjoying the delicious coffee. 

There are so many coffee gifts that your coffee lover will love this Valentine's day.

Take a look at the list above for some inspiration. Why not also pair some of the gifts and create a coffee basket or hamper for your loved one.

A manual coffee grinder alongside a brew method (like a stovetop) and a couple of bags of delicious specialty coffee in the form of a coffee subscription could be the perfect bundle. 

If you have a coffee snob as your valentine then look no further than a coffee flavour wheel and a Batch coffee subscription.

This way your coffee snob will not only enjoy two new and unique coffees in each box but also have a visual aid to help them with pinpointing each flavour note.

If you are purchasing coffee as a gift for your loved one then think about how they will brew the coffee and consume it.

There are many different brew methods that make great gifts like an Aeropress or a cafetiere. You can also look into purchasing a coffee grinder so your coffee lover can enjoy freshly ground coffee.

A handmade ceramic coffee mug may also be a fantastic gift for the sort that enjoy well designed quality products.
