10 Things to do on Valentine’s Day 2021

What makes your lover happy? Maybe it’s a luxurious champagne breakfast with fresh strawberries. Or perhaps a fresh cup of coffee is the way to your lover’s heart? Make your loved one’s heart skip a beat with our ten things to do on Valentine’s Day. Some of our tips even involve coffee! Also, get inspired by some of our delicious recipes; we recommend you try making them with your lover.

1. Romantic Valentine’s Day Breakfast
   A great way to wake up and get ready on Valentine’s Day is to surprise your partner with a romantic Valentine’s Day breakfast. Think of yoghurt with fruit, fresh orange juice and a cappuccino with a lovely layer of creamy foam. Choose his or her favourite type of milk: full cream, low fat, skim milk, soy milk, oat milk, almond milk or even coconut milk. Or perhaps your lover wants a luxurious breakfast with champagne and fresh strawberries. Everything is possible. The most important question to keep in mind: what does your lover like the most?
2. Coffee for your Valentine
   Is your partner a true coffee lover? Surprise your spouse with a perfect cup of coffee and perhaps a sweet note on the side. Sharing a delicious cup of java with the one you love is a perfect activity for Valentine’s Day. Do you know your partner’s favourite coffee? We’ve made an overview of the different coffees you can serve on Valentine’s Day.
   
   Espresso or Ristretto
   

   Does your lover like a strong cup of coffee in the morning? We’d recommend L’OR Espresso Onyx: a powerful espresso. Rather a strong Lungo? Try L’OR Espresso Profondo, with an intense and spicy aroma. This will wake up your loved one. Serve with a tasty heart-shaped chocolate. Are you looking for a romantic coffee recipe? How about our Roseleaf Kiss Espresso? This recipe creates a romantic coffee with rose petals and transforms your coffee into a sweet blend. 

   
   Filter Coffee or Coffee with milk and sugar

   Regular filter coffee boring? Not at all! Be creative and serve it on a red napkin decorated with some coffee beans. Or serve the coffee with a special sugar and creamy milk in a Valentine’s jug.

   
   Latte Macchiato
   What looks better than a coffee glass with a delicious latte macchiato? A delicious coffee drink with layers of milk and espresso. Choose a strong espresso, like the L’OR Onyx mentioned above, to create the perfect latte macchiato. Serve with some fudge and add a drizzle of caramel syrup on top. Want something more exciting for Valentine’s Day? Try our delicious Iced Latte Macchiato recipe.
   
   Cappuccino
   Does your partner always order a cappuccino? Make one at home! Sprinkle cacao on the top with help of a stencil and create the design of your choice. True home barista? Try some latte art. Don’t forget to serve a small glass of water. Maybe add a small gift on the side. This will give the finishing touch to your breakfast! Read our tips on how to make the perfect cappuccino at home.
3. Cook an aphrodisiac themed dinner for Valentine’s Day
   How about cooking a romantic aphrodisiac meal for your lover? Chocolate and coffee are considered aphrodisiac foods that will stimulate the release of endorphins, the pleasure hormone. Create a feisty meal for your Valentine that will lead to an even more romantic evening!
4. Bake together
   Couples that bake together, stay together! Wondering if that’s true? Baking is a fun way for couples to spend time together. And what’s more fun than baking delicious sweet desserts?
5. Practice Latte Art
   Practice Latte Art together to show your love. What is Latte Art? It’s the art of creating designs with milk in your coffee. Try to create a cappuccino with a heart of milk foam.
6. Go for a walk and grab a take-away coffee
   Take a scenic walk through your neighbourhood and go for a take-away coffee at your lover’s favourite coffee bar.
7. Make a scrapbook of your favourite pictures together
   This is a great way to bring back fun memories together. And to make it even better: how about sipping your favourite brew while looking through the old photo’s?
8. Enjoy a coffee tasting at home
   Try an at-home coffee tasting class. Explore new coffee flavours with your loved one. It’s a great way to refine your coffee tasting skills, try out new flavours and find out more about your favourite blends.
9. Enjoy a staycation
   Now that we need to stay inside, try to recreate a holiday atmosphere in your own home with your partner. Have breakfast in bed, transform your living room into a movie theatre and put down your phone to actually unwind during your Valentine’s Day staycation.
10. Create coffee inspired cocktails
    Need a little kick of alcohol during Valentine’s Day? How about making classic coffee cocktails with your loved one. There are many coffee cocktails to choose from! Coffee cocktails are full of flavour, a pleasure to sip and very easy to mix. How about a good Irish Coffee, French Connection Coffee or Flaming Spanish Coffee to perk up your evening?
