If you can’t picture your road trip without a great cup of coffee in your hands, or waking up in a foreign place to instant coffee mixes, you know how important it is to start your day with a good brew!
December is arriving and that means, the most festive period of the year is approaching! Lots of travelling going on – either with family (school holidays!), to see family, or just to get some “me” time.
For a coffee-enthusiast, a good brew is especially important in pushing your energy levels due to jet lag, time zone changes as well as pre-dawn hikes to catch the sunrise. Nobody wants to feel lethargic when they are on a holiday, right?
So, we will be sharing three simple yet delicious methods to get a great home brew when you aren’t at home(the last one is our favourite and simplest way!) :
AeroPress
Searching for a minimalistic travel companion? The AeroPress is one of the hot favourites of camping coffee lovers!
The AeroPress is one of the smallest and most portable coffee makers on the market, and it can make a cup of coffee in about 30 seconds (not counting boiling the water). No batteries or power are required for the AeroPress, which makes it great for the outdoors.
There are countless brew variations and recipes with this versatile contraption. Both portable and reliable, the AeroPress is essential for all coffee enthusiasts.
Moka Pot
For the espresso-lovers who need a strong start to your day, you aren’t forgotten. In true rustic outback fashion, we love Bialetti!
It’s simple to use as all you need is cold water, your favourite beans and a burner to heat the carafe over. Of course, we recommend filtered water for a better-tasting cup but even without, it’s still good enough! In just a few minutes, the Moka Pot will produce a rich and authentic espresso that will keep you going!
We recommend the 3-cup size for the solo drinker or if you are a couple and the 6-cup size if you have a group of friends or traveling as a family!
Perk Coffee’s Nitro Drip
We’ve saved the best for last!
What if we tell you that you can enjoy the convenience of a coffee drip bag wherever you go without compromising on freshly roasted flavour? That’s right, our single-use drip bags are nitrogen-flushed, a process that removes oxygen from the package and increases the shelf life of our specialty coffee blends so their superb taste is maintained.
Our Nitro Flushed Coffee Drip Bags also have a longer shelf life than our freshly roasted range of specialty coffees. And yet, because goes almost immediately from roasting to grinding to packing, it’ll still taste amazing! Just three simple steps and voila, a great home brew to start your day even though you aren’t at home!
Step 1: Simply open the packet
Step 2: Tear the coffee drip bag where indicated
Step 3: Hang it over a cup and pour over approx 150g of hot water.
Now, you are ready to enjoy the flavour and aroma of coffee in a convenient drip bag! Try it for yourself to find out how much of a lifesaver our nitro drip bags are!
Bon Voyage, we wish everyone a happy holiday in advance!
