Why Our Roaster’s Choice Subscription Makes the Perfect Present
Gifting coffee is really just gifting a better morning; the slow sip before the day starts, the warm comfort on a cold weekend, the “oh wow, that’s good” moment you only get from freshly roasted beans.
It doesn’t have to be complicated either. With a little know-how (and the right roaster behind you), it’s one of the easiest, most personal gifts you can give.
And if you want something thoughtful without any faff at all, our Roaster’s Choice subscription takes care of everything - fresh, small-batch beans delivered exactly when they’re needed, with each delivery a little surprise from our roastery table.
What Makes a Coffee Gift Actually Special?
At Flat Cap, we’ve always believed the magic is in the details:
Freshness you can taste
Our beans are roasted in small batches and posted at their peak - no dusty supermarket coffee here.
Stories behind every bag
Every origin has character: bright, fruity lots for the adventurous; rich, chocolatey coffees for comfort-seekers.
The right grind for their brew style
Whole bean or ground to order for espresso, filter, AeroPress or cafetière - so every cup starts on the right foot.
Room to explore
A great gift shouldn’t limit someone. This is why Roaster’s Choice is ideal - every delivery offers something new, curated by us so they can enjoy coffees they may never have picked for themselves.
A good coffee gift feels personal without you needing to be an expert - we take care of that bit.
Roaster’s Choice: The Easiest, Most Thoughtful Coffee Gift
You absolutely can gift a subscription and honestly, it’s one of the best coffee presents out there.
Our Roaster’s Choice subscription is designed for people who love good coffee but don’t want to choose between twenty different bags. We do the picking for them, based on seasonality, flavour, and what’s tasting brilliant on our cupping table that week.
All you do is choose:
- Whole bean or ground
- How often you'd like it delivered
- And send it their way
They can pause, switch, or tweak it any time. No hassle, no admin. Just fresh Flat Cap coffee arriving when it should.
Perfect for:
The explorer – new origins, new flavours, new favourites.
The comfort-lover – smooth, chocolatey blends now and then.
The “don’t make me choose” crowd – this is literally made for them.
The impossible-to-buy-for person – fresh coffee solves that problem.
If you want maximum joy for minimum effort, Roaster’s Choice is the gift.
How To Pick Coffee for Someone Else (Without Guessing)
A few quick pointers:
Their brew method
Espresso lovers = chocolatey blends.
Pour-over fans = lighter, fruitier single origins.
Cafetière drinkers = smooth, medium roast crowd-pleasers.
Milk or black
Milk drinkers love sweet, round blends.
Black coffee fans enjoy clarity and brightness.
Caffeine habits
Include decaf if they like evening cups. Our Swiss Water Decaf tastes brilliant anytime.
Grind choice
Whole bean for grinder owners.
Otherwise choose the grind that matches their brewing style.
Why Freshness Matters (And Why Small-Batch Wins)
Freshly roasted coffee simply tastes better; clearer flavour, cleaner finish, more aroma.
We roast in small batches so each profile is tuned properly, whether it’s a chocolatey winter blend or a bright single origin.
If you’re gifting, suggest they keep it in an airtight container in a cool cupboard and brew within a few weeks for best results.
