You’re planning a weekend trip, a getaway to the mountains, a sleepover with friends, or you’re just heading out to ride your board. Everything’s packed, but then the age-old dilemma faces everyone who’s gotten into this world: coffee on the go.
Until now, you’ve had two options: either lug a grinder, a scale, an AeroPress, a gooseneck kettle, and a bag of beans in your backpack (taking up half the space meant for clothes), or settle for a random drink from a gas station or some supermarket instant coffee that tastes like melted plastic. Wondering how to make good coffee in the mountains, or which coffee will work best for a camping trip without having to carry an entire coffee bar with you?
There are plenty of myths circulating in the world of coffee, and one of the most popular ones goes like this: “Espresso is a rocket, while pour-over is just a light, fruity tea.” We often hear that darker roasts and strong brews are the quickest way to get you going, while light roasts and alternative brews are for those who tend to avoid caffeine. What’s the truth? At TRIGGER, we don’t like to beat around the bush—we’re all about single-origin beans, we roast in small batches, and we focus on the facts, which is why we’re taking a closer look at this myth. Let’s see what’s really going on in your drip.
