5 Great Valentine’s Day Gifts For Coffee Lovers

What’s more romantic than a cup of wonderful coffee brought to you in bed? Assuming your favourite person already has that base covered, here are a few loving suggestions for the coffee person in your life.

Cup Warmer

Coffee tastes its best when served hot. If hot coffee is poured into cold porcelain cups, a lot of heat is lost. In pre-warmed cups the mouthwatering aroma is released in its entirety. With this elegant, slim cup warmer, Jura offers the ideal accessory for any automatic speciality coffee machine. Two heating elements constantly keep the cups at a temperature of approximately 55°C, which is ideal for preparing a fiery espresso or a cappuccino topped with milk foam.

Re-usable Filters

The end of the paper filter? Yes, more convenient? (you never run out) no need to pre-rinse to get rid of that paper taste. Should last for years. Do the right thing and minimise waste. Remember, re-use, re-purpose and recycle. In that order.
