Father's Day is almost upon us, which means it's time for children across the UK to rack their brains and try to find a suitable gift for the hardest person in their life to buy a gift for: dear old dad.
While traditional presents like books, whiskey, slippers and novelty aprons are all well and good, nothing beats giving your old man a present he genuinely didn't see coming, so why not surprise him with one of these coffee-related gifts?
Coffee Mug Warmer
Ensure the paternal coffee lover in your life never has to face a cold brew ever again with a stylish mug warmer.
Designed to keep hot drinks hot or make cold drinks warm again, this nifty little mug warmer can be set to one of three temperatures, is suitable for various mug sizes and features an auto shut-off feature in case your dad falls asleep in front of the tv with it on. Buy one here.
Good Coffee
What better present for a coffee lover than some top notch coffee?
Our baristas use only grade 1 beans sourced from micro lots (single plots of land on a specific farm) to guarantee the highest quality coffee and bags of these very same beans are now available to enjoy at home. Contact your nearest Cafe2U barista here and your dad will be brewing like Captain Starbucks in no time.
Coffee Bean Plant
Not only will this coffee arabica plant enable your dad to grow his own coffee beans, it will also add a dash of colour to his life.
A word of caution, though - growing coffee requires a lot of patience and it could be months before he starts to see any results. Remember, a coffee bean plant is for life, not just for elevenses.
Coffee Stencil Set
For dads with a serious coffee habit, how about a stencil set to help him wow visitors?
This stainless steel set of 16 stencils will unleash your dad's inner coffee artiste, letting him decorate his brews with cool designs guaranteed to raise a smile and make him the envy of his coffee-loving mates.
Coffee Grinder
Having your own coffee grinder is the key to making great coffee at home so treating your dad to a quality grinder is sure to get you in his good books.
There are a wealth of options to suit every budget but we recommend this conical burr coffee grinder - easy to use and with a whopping 19 grind settings, it delivers great results, looks fantastic and doesn't cost the earth.
Prepaid Cafe2U Card
If your dad is a regular Cafe2U customer, make his next few visits free by picking him up one of our prepaid gift cards. Better still, if you pre-pay for five coffees, you'll get the sixth one free!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, we hope you all have a great day. Our Cafe2U vans will be on the road as usual to help you celebrate if you're out and about.
