Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who enjoys coffee cupping, there are plenty of thoughtful and personalized gift options that will surely make his birthday extra special. Here are a few ideas:

1. Coffee Cupping Kit: Surprise your husband with a complete coffee cupping kit that includes everything he needs to enhance his coffee tasting experience. Look for a kit that includes different coffee beans from various regions, cupping bowls, a cupping spoon, and a detailed guidebook. This way, he can indulge in his passion right at home.

2. Specialty Coffee Subscription: Consider purchasing a subscription to a specialty coffee service. Many coffee roasters offer monthly subscriptions where they send unique and high-quality coffee beans directly to your doorstep. This gift will allow your husband to explore a wide range of flavors and origins and may even introduce him to new favorites he might not have discovered otherwise.

3. Coffee Brewing Equipment: If your husband is into coffee cupping, he might also appreciate brewing his own coffee. Look for high-quality brewing equipment such as a Chemex, a Hario V60 pour-over set, or a French press. Pair it with a coffee grinder to complete the package, so he can grind fresh beans for his cupping sessions.

4. Coffee Tasting Journal: Help your husband document and track his coffee cupping experiences with a specialized coffee tasting journal. This thoughtful gift will allow him to write down his observations, flavors, and brewing methods, making his coffee journey more memorable.

5. Coffee-Related Books: Expand your husband's knowledge of coffee cupping by gifting him some insightful books in the realm of coffee tasting. Look for titles like "The Coffee Cupper's Handbook" by Ted R. Lingle or "Coffee: A Comprehensive Guide to the Bean, the Beverage, and the Industry" by Robert W. Thurston. These books can further deepen his understanding of coffee and enhance his appreciation for the art of cupping.

6. Coffee Accessories: Delight your husband with some unique coffee accessories that elevate his coffee cupping experience. Consider getting him a high-quality digital scale for accurate coffee bean and water measurements, a coffee bean storage container to keep his beans fresh, or even a stylish coffee cupping spoon made of silver or wood.

7. Coffee-Tasting Workshop or Class: Check if there are any coffee-tasting workshops or classes available in your area. These hands-on experiences will allow your husband to learn from professionals and develop his coffee tasting skills further. Consider booking a private session or a group class depending on his preference.

Remember, the most important aspect of a gift is the thought and consideration behind it. Reflect on your husband's love for coffee cupping and choose a gift that aligns with his interests, allowing him to continue pursuing his passion while enjoying your thoughtful gesture.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
