Winter cycling: Who needs Starbucks anyway?

coffee press

This winter, why not swap your bidon for a freshly made coffee? We have a Commuter Javapress worth £30 to give away.

The 15fl oz Commuter Javapress offers freshly pressed coffee in an easily transportable travel mug that fits in a standard water bottle cage.

A sliding inner carafe presses the coffee to the bottom of the mug, allowing the filtered, refined liquid to make its way back up through the central compartment of the carafe, leaving the residue at the bottom. This second wall of insulation also helps keep the coffee hot.

The ethical choice
