Balance Coffee’s favourite coffee gifts for coffee lovers

Looking for a great coffee gift for a friend or family member? There are so many different things to choose from, but we’re here to help. Here are some of our favourite coffee gifts – they’re sure to please any coffee lover in your life!

Coffee subscription

What’s better than a gift that keeps on giving? We can’t think of anything! That’s why our coffee subscription is a perfect gift for any occasion – including anniversaries, birthdays, and more. We’ll send an exciting new coffee to your chosen friend or family member every month on autopilot. Simply:

  • Choose between a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month gifted subscription
  • Then choose the size of the bag (250g or 1kg)
  • Finally, select what grind you want to give your loved one

The price includes delivery, and gift subscriptions don’t include any price information. With an easy, one-time payment, your gifted subscription will be ready to go!

Your loved one will receive seasonal, speciality grade coffees which are all sustainably sourced from small farms and cooperatives around the world. We rotate the coffees that we send out, so they’ll be able to explore coffees from around the world. You’ll be giving them the ultimate gift – never running out of coffee again. In our opinion, that’s priceless!

Brewing kit

But what if your loved one has already signed up to our coffee subscription service? In that case, you can’t go wrong with a new and exciting brewing kit. Every method of brewing coffee brings out different flavours and aromas – so if your friend or family member has only tried one method, a new brewing kit might kick their morning coffee into high gear. We particularly recommend the Aeropress coffee maker and any of our Hario V60 products.

The Aeropress is a perfect brewing device for anyone who wants a quick coffee on the go without sacrificing flavour! An Aeropress coffee is very clean, because the brewing method minimises the possibility of chemicals such as  quinic acid  ruining the flavour. The effect of applying pressure during the brewing process also gives a medium body to the coffee.

The Hario V60 is also a fantastic option if your loved one wants to try a pour-over coffee. A cup of coffee made in a V60 is very clean, low in body and extremely tasty. It allows for all the subtleties of the coffee to be beautifully expressed in a way that other brewing methods just can’t replicate. Even better, this is an extremely easy way to brew an exceptional coffee!

You really can’t get a coffee gift better than these – your loved one will remember this thoughtful gift every time they brew themselves a cup! (And if you want to know more, head to our blog posts that explain why both these methods are so great.)

Espresso machine

If you’re really looking to treat your loved one, then you could always get them a high-end espresso machine! Our Sage espresso machines are amazing for any level of home barista.

One of our personal favourites is the Bambino Plus, which is perfect for anyone just starting out with espressos. With this particular espresso machine, you can achieve a consistent and balanced espresso that tastes just like the one from your favourite café. It has lots of helpful features, like its Digital Temperature Control, which always ensures that your water is exactly the right temperature for a perfectly extracted espresso.

If your loved one is already a high-level latte artist, then they will love the Sage Dual Boiler. This is the perfect coffee gift for any baristas who want to experiment and generally geek out about how temperature affects espresso and how to create the perfect espresso shot.

With the help of any of the Sage espresso machines, you’ll turn their kitchen into your favourite new coffee spot. Pair this with a coffee subscription and you’re onto a winning combination!

Not sure which Sage machine to invest in? Never fear – we’ve got another blog post that will help you figure out which machine is the best for you and your lifestyle.

Taster packs

One way to really treat the coffee lover in your life is with some top-quality speciality coffee. If you know their taste really well, you could simply purchase a bag or two of our fantastic coffee beans. But if you really want to get a gift that will impress, you could also buy one of our taster packs!

We have two taster packs available: The first has three coffees that are perfect for making espresso or espresso-based drinks (such as a latte or flat white), and the other has three different coffees that are designed to work well in filter coffees (e.g. coffees made with a Hario V60). Both contain delicious beans that make a perfect introduction to the world of speciality-grade coffee. This is a particularly useful coffee gift if your loved one isn’t sure what types of coffees they like best.

And if you’re lucky, your loved one will invite you to taste test these different coffees with them!

Coffee bundle with Rebel Kitchen

But what if you wanted to treat your loved one with a gift that goes the extra mile? We have a great option for you, because we now offer delicious oat milks from Rebel Kitchen! We’re big fans of oat milk (head to this blog to learn why) and after a lot of taste testing, we’ve found that their Barista Oat Mylk works perfectly with our coffees.

Try the Rebel Kitchen Barista Oat Mylk

Made specifically to be used in coffee, Rebel Kitchen’s Barista Mylk was created alongside world-renowned coffee expert James Hoffmann. It’s the only plant based alternative that tastes and works like dairy milk and is the perfect choice for lasting latte art with its silky texture and tight microfoam.

You can simply purchase Mylk, or you can order your favourite speciality coffee and oat milk in one helpful package! We’ll ship the Level Up Blend & our top rated Stability Blend because they pair perfectly with the Rebel Kitchen Oat Mylk.

Gift voucher

Finally, if in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a gift voucher. With a voucher, your loved one will be able to pick out the coffee that they think they’ll enjoy the most, or they can pick out a brewing method that they’ve always been eager to try. This is a great option if you’re not sure what coffees your loved one has already tried, or if you just want to give them the freedom to choose their gift themselves!

As you can see, there are lots of incredible coffee gifts available on our shop. If you’d like any recommendations for what else we think are great coffee gifts, head to our Instagram – we’ll be happy to help!§

So you’re a coffee fanatic and you love drinking pourover coffee? Great, me too. Before we get brewing, let’s just clarify a couple of things so we’re both on the same page. Did you know, that pourover coffee is actually a sub category of filter coffee. So if you’re already brewing pourover coffee and love it, there’s a change you’ll love other coffee brewing methods that fall under ‘filter’ too. But more on that later…. It’s worth defining the differences between filter coffee and espresso though, so you’ll get a deep understanding on how and why coffee typically get’s labelled either filter or espresso. In fact, as I write this, I’ve just been inspired to write a detailed blog on the topic of Filter VS Espresso, so thanks for taking the time to visit our coffee blog. In the meantime, here’s a quick summary to bring you up to speed: Filter Coffee Vs Espresso: The Science Unless you’re an absolute coffee nerd and switch daily between filter and espresso based drinks, then it’s no

Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About Decaf Ground Coffee

Decaf coffee – whether you love it or you hate it, you’ve got to admit that it’s here to stay. We often get questions about decaf, so we thought we’d explain everything you’ve ever wanted to know about decaf coffee, including how decaffeination works and why our decaf ground coffee is head and shoulders above the rest! What is decaf ground coffee? You’d think that decaf coffee is simply coffee that doesn’t have any caffeine in it. But this isn’t strictly true. While decaffeination methods (which we discuss below) will take most of the caffeine away, coffee cannot be 100% decaffeinated. Depending on the method that is used, decaf coffee is between 99-97% decaffeinated. So if a regular 250ml cup of coffee has between 95 to 200 milligrams of caffeine, decaf will have between 2-15 milligrams. A cup of speciality-grade decaf ground coffee It is very unlikely that you’ll be able to feel the effects of 1-3% caffeine, but if you’re sensitive to caffeine, or trying to cut it out complet
