Five Star Gift Ideas

For your coffee-loving boyfriend who enjoys roasting and home barista techniques, there are plenty of thoughtful and meaningful anniversary gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that might pique your interest:

1. Coffee Roasting Kit: Consider getting him a coffee roasting kit that includes all the necessary equipment and resources to start roasting his own beans at home. This could include a coffee roaster, green coffee beans from various regions, a roasting guide, and packaging materials.

2. Specialty Coffee Subscription: Surprise your boyfriend with a subscription to a specialty coffee service. These subscriptions often deliver freshly roasted beans from around the world right to his doorstep. It allows him to explore different flavors and regions, enhancing his home barista experience.

3. Home Brewing Equipment: If he doesn't have it yet, upgrading his home brewing set-up can make his coffee ritual more enjoyable. Look into high-quality brewing accessories like a burr grinder, pour-over kettle, precision scale, or a coffee siphon to elevate his brewing techniques.

4. Coffee Education: If he has a curious mind and loves to learn, consider gifting him a coffee education course or workshop. This could be a barista training class where he can learn the art of latte art and perfect his milk steaming techniques, or a coffee cupping experience to refine his palate and understand the nuances of different coffee beans.

5. Personalized Coffee Accessories: Opt for personalized coffee accessories to add a touch of sentimentality to his home barista experience. Customized coffee mugs, engraved tampers or coffee spoons with his initials, or a personalized coffee bean storage container can make excellent and thoughtful anniversary gifts.

6. Coffee Books: If he enjoys reading and expanding his knowledge, there are several excellent coffee books available that delve into the history, science, and artistry of coffee. Consider books like "The World Atlas of Coffee" by James Hoffman or "The Coffee Roaster's Companion" by Scott Rao.

7. Coffee Tasting Flight: Plan a coffee tasting experience for the two of you. Set up a variety of coffees from different origins and roast profiles, and enjoy a guided tasting session together. This allows you to spend quality time together while indulging in his passion for coffee.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is often one that shows you understand and appreciate his interests. By considering his love for coffee roasting and home barista techniques, you can find a gift that showcases your thoughtfulness and supports his hobby.

Or you can get him a star map with the date of your anniversary.
