Rocket Appartamento espresso machine
The Rocket Appartamento is a great entry-level espresso machine for domestic settings. We are particularly impressed with its milk-steaming capabilities, a small footprint makes it ideal for smaller worktop spaces, and a 2.5l water reservoir means you can install it anywhere.
We stock the white Appartamento which looks super-slick.
Rocket Faustino coffee grinder
The Faustino coffee grinder is designed to be paired with the Appartamento (although we think it looks great with any home espresso machine). Short enough to fit under most top cupboards, with a 300g hopper and programmable dosing, this wonderful little grinder will help home baristas take their coffee up a notch. Buy the Rocket Faustino grinder online.
Rocket Giotto Cronometro R espresso machine
The Giotto Cronometro R from Rocket Espresso is a step up from the Appartamento.
The Giotto comes with commercial-grade features, scaled down to a kitchen-sized setting. The result? Incredible coffee shot after shot.
More about the Giotto Cronometro R here.
Rocket Fausto coffee grinder
Rocket Espresso’s Fausto Grinder is designed to be paired with the Giotto Cronometro R. We were really impressed with the quality of this grinder for the money.
Fausto has a larger hopper (600g) and burrs (65mm), stepless grind adjustments, and 3 programmable doses.
More about the Fausto grinder from Rocket Espresso.
Rocket Espresso tamper station
The Rocket tamping station is a handy add-on to espresso machines and grinders in the Rocket Espresso range.
This tamping mat looks good, protects your surfaces and provides somewhere tidy to store your tamp between uses.
Rocket Espresso knock box
A knock box is a must for making espresso. Somewhere to knock out the cup of spent coffee grounds, keeping your portafilters and your workspace nice and clean.
Rocket Espresso make these great little knock boxes designed especially for home use.
Buy a Rocket Knock Box online.
Rocket Espresso milk-steaming jug
A decent milk jug is a must for home baristas who want to pour good latte art. We enjoy pouring with this milk jug from Rocket Espresso.
A nice stocking filler for someone looking to up their latte art game. They’ll be pouring rosettas in no time.
buy a Rocket Espresso milk jug here.
La Marzocco Linea Mini espresso machine
For home baristas who are really serious about espresso, you can’t get much better than the La Marzocco Linea Mini.
La Marzocco is an iconic espresso machine manufacturer and the preferred choice for many speciality coffee shops around the UK.
The Linea Mini has the same build quality and features as the larger commercial model, La Marzocco Linea Classic, scaled down to a kitchen-sized setting. Probably the closest you’ll get to coffee-shop-quality coffee at home.
Find out more about the La Marzocco Linea Mini.
La Marzocco Lux-D coffee grinder
Buying whole beans and grinding coffee at home makes a huge difference to the freshness and flavour of the final cup of coffee. For that, you need a quality grinder.
Many domestic grinders on the market don’t grind finely enough to make a decent espresso. One of the exceptions is the Lux D coffee grinder from La Marzocco.
This is an incredible coffee gift for espresso lovers looking to perfect the coffee they make at home.
You can get more info on the Lux-D here.
Felicita Incline coffee scales
The key to consistently excellent espresso is accuracy, and for that, you need some coffee scales. We love the barista scales from Felicita and use the larger models in the roastery.
For coffee at home, the smaller Felicita Incline model is fantastic.
Buy the Felicita Incline Coffee Scales online here.
Filter Coffee Gift ideas
Welcome to our filter coffee gift guide, the brew equipment and accessories we love to use when making pour-over or filter coffee at home.
Filter brewing lends itself lighter roasted coffees (also called filter coffees) which are often enjoyed black.
If you want some filter coffee gift inspiration, take a look at our top picks below.
Roasters Choice Filter Gift Subscription
From £29.85 for 3 months
Roasters Choice Filter Gift Subscription is a great way to experience new coffees.

Wilfa Svart coffee grinder
Buying coffee as whole beans and grinding it fresh makes a huge difference to the freshness and flavour of coffee when brewed at home.
When it comes to filter coffee, the Wilfa Svart grinder is a great value solution for every day use.
You can buy the Wilfa Svart grinder here.
Hario V60 filter coffee maker
The Hario V60 is an iconic brew-by-hand coffee maker - and makes delicious filter coffee.
Put medium-ground coffee into the 60-degree cone with filter paper and pour water smoothly and steadily over the coffee for a light and delicate brew.
We recommend the metal V60s because they heat up faster and are better for coffee extraction.
Hario glass coffee server
V60 coffee fans need a vessel to brew into.
These glass Hario range servers are a perfect size and really look the part. This glass coffee server holds 600ml of coffee, perfect when brewing for 2 -3 people.
You can buy a Hario coffee jug, here.
Fellow Stagg gooseneck coffee kettle
We really rate the Fellow Stagg coffee kettle. Accuracy is key to improving your pour-over coffee brew.
A gooseneck kettle helps you do exactly that, giving the home barista more control over how quickly water is poured over the coffee for hand-brew methods.
You can buy the Fellow Stagg gooseneck kettle here.
Chemex coffee maker
The Chemex is a beautiful, all-in-one, pour-over coffee maker. So beautiful, infact, it even had a stint in the New York Museum of Modern Art!
The cone-shaped neck means it's a brewer and serving vessel in one, all you need are paper filters. Thicker filters absorb more coffee oils resulting in a super-clean filter brew.
Felicita Incline coffee scales
A decent set of coffee scales improves the accuracy of filter brews and lets home baristas experiment and perfect their coffee recipes.
We recommend the Incline coffee scales from Felicita.
Clever Dripper coffee maker
The Clever Dripper is a handy brewer for anyone who wants to brew filter coffee straight into the mug, making it ideal for home and office environments. It may not be the fanciest filter method but is excellent value, super convenient, and the coffee tastes great.
Shop for a Clever Dripper coffee maker here.
Coffee filter papers
Every filter coffee fiend's favourite stocking filler: filter papers.
We stock filter paper for Chemex, V60, Clever Drippers and Aeropress.
