Coffee Gifts

Why Two Chimps?

Okay, first things first. Why should you buy your coffee gifts from us? Well, not to brag, but our specialty coffee is a cut above the rest. No, seriously, we aren’t exaggerating. When graded by professional Q-graders, all our brews have been given a gold star and, more importantly, a specialist label!

What does that mean, though, and what is a Q-grader when it’s at home? These experts mark the coffee out of 100, judging the beans on taste, aroma, mouth feel, and more via cupping. If a coffee scores above 80, it is classified as a specialty, with anything below that grade falling into the commodity ranking (hello supermarket brews).

Specialty coffees are bursting with unique flavours and are of much higher quality as they are handpicked, which is something you don’t get from commodity coffee. You’ll only ever see specialty brews around here, folks!

We ethically source all our beans through a small supply chain, so our farmers get a fair price for their hard work! All our coffees are single origin, meaning we can trace them back to the small estates and co-operatives that grew them. We try to support as many positive movements as possible, like the Café Delas programme, which helps to give female farmers access to knowledge and resources and gives them the same opportunities as men within the industry. We’re also on a journey to become Net Zero by 2040, and use renewable energy to power up to 98% of our roastery – so we really are doing our bit to protect the environment.

Gifts for the Coffee Addicts

We feel like coffee is the best place to start with this gift guide (it is probably how you came across Two Chimps in the first place!). We have a brew to suit every palette, from rich chocolate to zingy fruity notes; the world is your oyster.

Let’s quickly run down our personal favourites (and yours, too!) Our best sellers have always been from our medium-dark roast range which are our blue and orange-labelled coffees. Both have all those notes you want from a strong cup of coffee with rich chocolate bases topped with caramel, giving them the perfect flavours to create any coffee drink you want, from a simple espresso to a foamy latte.

It’s a tricky one for a medium roast style. We can’t decide between our green and pink-labelled coffees. They both share a silky milk chocolate undertone, with the pink having a delicious twist of dried fruit. But if it’s a warming caramel you are looking for, look no further than the green.

For light and fruity lovers, our yellow-labelled coffee is the cream of the crop. This bright and sunny coffee is the perfect brew to wake up to. It has chocolate notes topped with cranberries, apples, and citrus acidity. Yummy.

Coffee gift sets

Now that you’ve heard a little about coffee, what if you want to gift more than just one bag? Our coffee gift sets have you covered! We have various combinations of gifts, including brewing devices, awesome Two Chimps merch, and multiple bags of coffee.

All our gift sets arrive in premium white boxes tied with a Two Chimps black ribbon. You can also request a gift card, which we can print out for you!

Perhaps our MOST popular gift set is our coffee and cake gift box. It’s perfect for any and every occasion, provided the recipient likes coffee AND cake (and who doesn’t?) Simply choose your coffees and your roast style, and we’ll send it out in a gift box with a hand-tied ribbon.

Decaf coffee gifts

Gone are the days when decaf drinkers were offered bland, frankly naff coffee. Our specialty decaf brew has changed the game. We source our specialty beans as usual, but they have been decaffeinated using natural methods such as sugar cane and sparkling water. Not using harsh chemicals retains the uber-beautiful flavour in beans, which we highlight during roasting. Trust us, this brew tastes like the real deal.

We offer a medium or light and fruity roast style for our decafs. Our medium, purple-labelled decaf coffee is rich, chocolatey, and fruity. But if you’re looking for a coffee with a unique buttery biscuit base, our lilac-labelled light and fruity coffee is for you. Topped with dark chocolate and walnuts, you’ll also find a cheeky chunk of toffee sweetness! These decaf beauties will have any decaf drinker smiling ear to ear.

Both sound too good, right? Thank goodness we offer a gift set containing a bag of both decafs, and a Two Chimps white enamel mug. (all gift-wrapped, of course!)

We do gifts for tea drinkers, too!

You read that right. Few people know, but…we sell tea! And we aren’t just talking about run-of-the-mill teas around here. We sell delicious, loose-leaf English breakfast and Peppermint teas, ready for brewing.

Some people get put off by the words ‘loose leaf,’ but we promise it’s not as much faff as you think—and it’s worth it! Loose-leaf tea has a superior flavour because it is fresh and not created through mass production like tea bags. Due to this, you don’t need to brew these teas with a teabag for as long as you would. The flavours can infuse quickly due to the freshness of the leaves and the fact that they directly merge with the water in your cup rather than being filtered through paper (like a teabag does).

No strainer? No problem! Our tea gift set includes a strainer, any of our teas, and a tea spice pouch (a strainer is also available for purchase separately). We also have various tea sets, such as our best-selling tea lovers gift set, which includes four bags of tea, two strainers, and a tea spice pouch.

Gifts for Hot Chocolate Lovers

What’s a better way to get a chocolate fix than a warm cup of hot chocolate? (Topped with marshmallows and cream, of course). Our rich and impossibly creamy artisan hot chocolate flakes are the way to every hot chocolate lover’s heart.

A step above the powdered stuff, these flakes are 71% real chocolate, creating an irresistible sweet cup. They can also be used to create the perfect mocha or as a baking ingredient! Once again, we have done all the hard work for you, as we do a hot chocolate gift set that includes our Two Chimps enamel mug, which can be sent straight to your gift receiver’s door.

You see, it is possible to gift something unique and, most importantly, bursting with flavour!

Coffee brewing device gifts

So now you know about the coffees, what about the kind of brewing devices needed to make the perfect coffee at home?

We stock a wide range of the latest and greatest coffee brewing devices which include must-have ki

tchen staples as well as some of the most modern designs, suitable for any décor and any level of coffee brewing experience.

Take the classic French Press – or cafetiere. Every home has one, or should do, and our range of cafetieres will never go out of style. Combine a new cafetiere with a bag of freshly ground coffee and voila, you have the perfect coffee gift!

Or if they’re all about the modern gadgets and gizmos, look no further than the Aeropress. Available with or without freshly ground coffee, the Aeropress enables you to make great coffee anytime, anywhere. Perfect for coffee lovers who are always on the move.

We’ve already suggested a number of potential coffee gift options, but that’s by no means exhausted your list of potential presents. Oh no my friend.

All of our coffee gifts are designed with novices and experts in mind as we want to make the wonderful world of coffee as accessible as possible to all. Our range of gifts includes everything you’ve seen here, plus incredibly cool Two Chimps merchandise like Trucker caps and beanies that can be worn anytime, anywhere (bonus points if you wear them when collecting coffee from our roastery!)

Coffee gifts for under £20

If you’ve had a whip around in the office for a leaving present or you haven’t got much of a budget to work with, don’t worry!

As we’ve mentioned, we want to make coffee accessible to all and that’s why you’ll find plenty of coffee gifts for under £20 on our website and in our roastery shop.

Our budget-friendly gifts range from accessories like stickers and coasters to merchandise like Trucker hats and beanies, as well as personalised coffee boxes which really show the lucky recipient how much you care about them – without it costing the Earth!

Gift a coffee subscription

If you’re looking for the kind of present that keeps on giving, you can always gift a coffee subscription so their stash never runs empty again!

Our coffee subscriptions enable the recipient to have fresh coffee delivered to their door on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis; and you can tailor everything from the coffee itself to the grind and roast styles.

Don’t know what they like? No problem. Our mystery coffee subscription gives them a different coffee with each delivery, or use our coffee wizard to answer some questions and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Simply pay for how many months you’d like the subscription to run for, and come the end they’ll get a reminder to (hopefully) renew it!

Coffee courses and experiences

Last, but by no means least, why not look into a coffee course with us so they can put their skills to the test and pick up a few new tricks along the way, too?

Our coffee courses are held at the Two Chimps roastery in Oakham, and represent the ideal opportunity for coffee lovers to learn everything from the sourcing and roasting processes to how to create perfect latte art every time.

All of our courses are tailored to guests of all abilities and levels of expertise, and are usually held at weekends (although some courses can be arranged to suit where possible).
