You’ve reached the highest point of your tour, and then… instant coffee from a plastic cup? Not on our watch. That would be the real summit. We want great coffee, no matter where we are! Here’s how you can create the perfect coffee moment while bikepacking or hiking.
Who hasn’t dreamt of being at the summit by sunrise? Just 100 more meters to go. How do we picture the moment of arrival? First, stretch out on the alpine meadow, soak in the view. And then? Coffee! But not just any coffee—one that truly lives up to its name and makes us happy. Back home, we’ve got our fancy espresso machine, so we’re definitely not Team Nescafé. Even up here, we want the finest coffee experience and that cozy hygge moment. Because great taste knows no limits.
At the same time, space on our bikes or in our hiking backpacks is limited, and we don’t want to lug around too much gear. So, what does it take to brew the perfect summit coffee? The best portable coffee maker? The finest beans? Or maybe the perfect grinder? We’ll show you what we packed for bikepacking in the Dolomites.
You can find the full article at our sister magazine DOWNTOWN’s big coffee special.
