Indulge a cyclist’s love of coffee this season

Cycling and coffee are the perfect pair. We have some java to help us get out on our ride, which usually has a stop at the coffee shop. These gifts deepen that connection between bike and bean.

If you’re a bikepacker, you can get your coffee fix in on the trail with the Handpresso wild hybrid espresso machine (1, $120, mec.ca). Since you’re familiar with portable pumps, pumping up the Handpresso will come naturally. You then add a portafilter full of ground coffee and hot water. Seal up the unit, and then pull a shot.

Hartmann Washed + Natural espresso by Calgary’s Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters (2, $17, 3/4 lb. bag, philsebastian.com) are just the beans for the job. The coffee from Panama has notes of strawberry jam, nectarine and dark chocolate.

For enjoying a shot at home, maybe while watching a Sunday in Hell, a retro cycling team espresso cup is the thing (3, $27, includes saucer [not shown], cyclingsouvenirs.com). Teams include Molteni, Renault, Brooklyn, 7-Eleven and more. Each cup has a thick wall and is heated in a kiln for its high-gloss finish.

To round things out, a print by Cornwall, Ont.’s Bike Centric looks good on the wall, especially Cafe Racer (4, $21, bike-centric-art.myshopify.com).
