The perfect trailside coffee

When I say trailside I really mean carpark. This year I got one of those new fangled breast pumps aeropress thingys to make coffee from the back of the van and have been enjoying a. saving money and b. looking smug whilst having a decent cup of coffee before and/or after a ride.

I’ve been trying to make a decent brew and have spoken to a few people who are better at coffee than I which is how I ended up with the aeropress. Fortunately Andy Waterman seems to have collated all this various advice in one place for the budding car park brewer. It also seems like we share similar views on coffee.

I’m not the biggest coffee snob in the world, but I can’t bring myself to drink bad coffee, and I struggle to ride without having a coffee first. A day that starts with bad or no coffee, is rarely a day that goes well.

Time to buy a grinder then to sort my complete coffee kit and also stop buying ground coffee and do it myself.
