There isn’t a winter ride that can’t be improved by a coffee stop, and it’s better still if you don’t have to rely on finding a cafe. The Bripe is a small, lightweight copper and silver pipe designed to make coffee in the great outdoors. Better still, you don’t need electricity, a gas stove, kettle or pot so it’s cycling friendly. The handmade Bripe requires only ground coffee and water. Heat comes courtesy of a small butane-powered jet torch that’s included in the kit.
No, it’s not a prop from Breaking Bad. It’s a bicycle barista toolkit – a small, lightweight coffee machine you can carry by bike.
The folk behind the Bripe are as interesting as the concept itself. Tim Panek and Craig Hall run a coffee company called Equator Coffee Roasters. Before that, Tim had abandoned corporate America with his wife Linda and four children in favour of the jungles of Costa Rica and a life of adventure, entrepreneurship, and community service. The duo’s latest project is a hostel that will provide medical, training and cultural services on the Quitirrisi indigenous reserve in Costa Rica. When it’s complete, the hostel will sleep approximately 50 people and provide facilities for First Nations people who often wait days to get into a public hospital.
The Bripe took shape after Tim and Craig decided they wanted to enjoy a great coffee shot while outside, but found that existing coffee-making products were too complex, bulky, and heavy. While the Bripe might look like a simple bit of kit, years of development have gone into refining the design. We think it’s ideally suited to a DIY coffee stop.
