'Must Drink Coffee' Cycling Kit

In collaboration with Jonathan Chen, this cycling kit is dedicated to the community that has embraced us since the beginning. Cycling has played a huge role in what we do here at PPP Coffee since we first started out as a small-batch specialty coffee roaster, living off tips collected from strangers-turned-friends in a humble hideout back on Hooper Road.

Coffee and cycling

There is a unique relationship between the worlds of specialty coffee and cycling, and it is one that has grown rapidly in recent years. As the beverage of choice for cyclists looking for a boost in their riding performance, coffee continues to have a longstanding and inextricable affinity with cycling.

Meet the designer

We first met Jonathan when we still delivered coffee on wheels at Hooper Road. Back then, he was an avid cyclist. However a near-death experience back in 2014 brought his hobby to an abrupt halt. 

While Jonathan no longer cycles today, cycling will always remain something dear to him. In particular, designing this kit gave him a chance to reminisce memories and friendships he has forged over the years.

The Design

Environmental elements are often observed in landscapes where coffee is grown and cultivated. Similarly, there are also elements and changes in terrain and weather that a cyclist experiences whilst riding.

Landscape - The changing terrain, heat and aroma. These are textures a sip of coffee brings, and also that of what a cyclist's journey is like.
Gradient - The higher the elevation, the bigger the satisfaction for the cyclist. Likewise, the higher the altitude, the better the coffee.
Descents - It always lead to the ocean, just like a cup of pour-over.

The only kit that gives you free coffee - for a lifetime.
