1. Stoneware Coffee Mug

$65

There are many types of coffee mugs out there, and choices abound! While it can be easy to find a cheap mug on Amazon, sometimes it is worth spending a bit more to get one that will elevate your coffee experience. A ceramic mug can have many benefits for that coveted cup of caffeine. Ceramics are durable and keep drinks warmer longer, meaning you can savor your cup. Stoneware is a type of ceramic that is made from clay and fired at high temperatures. This gives it superior chip resistance. It also has low porosity, so it absorbs less from the liquid it holds and is easier to clean.  Stoneware mugs like this cute heart one are both functional and pretty. This one with hearts is the perfect coffee gift for your loved one on Valentine’s Day.

2. Chocolate-Covered Espresso Beans

$20

Is there a better combination than chocolate and coffee? Chocolate is usually a go-to gift for Valentine’s Day, so why not combine it with something they love, like coffee? These chocolate-covered espresso beans from Ethel M Chocolate are made with Kona beans freshly imported from Hawaii. Kona beans are known for their rich flavor, and these are the perfect combination of rich espresso with just the right amount of chocolate. They make the perfect gift for the chocolate and coffee lover in your life!

3. Coffee Bean Subscription

$20 per month

A coffee subscription like the Atlas Coffee Club allows you to taste coffees from around the world, delivered right to your doorstep, with a monthly subscription that keeps the gift going past the initial holiday. Their premium single-origin coffees taste good and are sourced from fair trade, helping ensure ethically sustainable farming practices worldwide. Their Coffee of the Month Club gives you a new roast each month. The monthly delivery also includes a postcard with information on the country of origin, tasting notes, and coffee history for each batch. 

4. Burr Coffee Grinder

$99

Grinding whole-bean coffee right before brewing is the first step to achieving a great cup of coffee. A burr coffee grinder is a must for brewing a great cup of coffee from your whole beans.  The burr grinder creates a more uniform/consistent particle size from your coffee bean than a blade grinder.  This consistent grind results in a more uniform extraction and a better cup of coffee.  This conical burr grinder from Capresso provides a wide range of grind sizes, making it great for everything from Turkish fine to percolator coarse.

5. Pour Over Coffee Set

$45

Pour over coffee gives you ultimate control over your cup of coffee, from the temperature of the water, the speed of pouring the water, the amount of time it brews, etc. Additionally, a pour-over coffee set like the one linked here is easy to take camping or with you on the go; all you need is to heat water and add your ground coffee. Although they are more famous for their tumblers these days, this pour over set from Stanley is a family favorite. 

6. Latte Art Class

$100-120 per couple

Have you ever wondered how baristas can transform the top of a latte into a beautiful piece of art? Many coffee shops offer classes on how to make “Latte Art” such as this one from Carabello Coffee which is local shop near my home. Taking a class with a significant other can be a unique gift that provides a memorable experience rather than just another “thing” to clutter the house. This class has the added benefit of elevating your homemade drinks to the next level! Check out local coffee shops around you to see who may offer this type of class.

7. Electric Milk Frother

$30

Properly made milk foam can make all the difference in your handcrafted coffee creation. If you want a quick way to make lattes and cappuccinos at home but don’t want to invest in an espresso machine with a steam wand, then this is for you! This electric milk frother lets you quickly make dense, airy, and even cold foam. It is small and compact, making it easy to store when not in use. It’s a great gift for your loved one looking to take their home coffee shop to the next level without investing in a more expensive machine.

8. Coffee Body Scrub

$12

Most people who love coffee enjoy not only the taste but also the smell of coffee. This body scrub from Tree Hut will made with Arabica coffee powder will smell heavenly while you shower but also reveal soft, glowing, firmer skin. The perfect gift if your significant other loves coffee and body care!
