1. A coffee subscription

A coffee gift subscription is one of the best presents for a coffee lover. Each delivery brings a different speciality coffee from one of the UK's top independent roasters, so they get to try something new every time. With Blue Coffee Box you can give 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, and it fits through the letterbox. Gift subscriptions don't auto-renew, so there's nothing to cancel.

2. A home brewing class

Many coffee shops and roasters around the UK run home brewing workshops. Book your other half on to one, then let them show off their new skills by making your coffee for as long as you can get away with it.

3. A cold brew kit

Cold brew from a coffee shop soon adds up. If your Valentine loves it, a cold brew jar or bottle lets them make smooth, sweet cold brew at home. Here's our guide to making great cold brew coffee.

4. A coffee-themed dinner

Cook a meal at home and give it a coffee theme. Try a coffee rub on steak, then finish with a tiramisu or a coffee molten lava cake. It's a nice change from the usual box of chocolates.

5. A cafetière

The cafetière (or French press) is one of the easiest ways to make great coffee at home, and you don't need to be a barista to get it right. A good one with a steel or glass body will last for years. Pair it with our guide on how to use a French press.
