Cycling and coffee is a golden combination, Il Magistrale Cycling Coffee agrees. You probably know the brand. With their German fire engine (converted into a coffee truck), they travel through the Netherlands and Belgium to serve coffee at the bigger cycling events. That coffee always tastes excellent, so today we are sharing 2 of our favourite Magistrale coffee beans with you.
Coffee Boost
You know the feeling, that you get an energy boost after drinking coffee? Research has shown that coffee is an ergogenic (performance-enhancing) agent due to its caffeine. It makes you feel less tired and even more awake and alert. It also speeds up energy-releasing processes in the body. So coffee literally gives you a boost while cycling. No wonder many cyclists have a penchant for coffee.
And they understand that at Il Magistrale Cycling Coffee. We tried 2 types of Magistrale coffee beans. Because as Il Magistrale itself says: 'As the N+1 rule applies to bikes, so does coffee.' Time to try out some new coffee flavours.
Racing wasps coffee
Racing Wasps coffee beans originate from the Huabál district in Peru. The beans are light/medium roasted and give off a distinct chocolate flavour, with subtle hints of sweet apple and toasted almond. Powerful and full-flavoured, full-bodied. A race winning coffee, perfect as a pre-race caffeine shot.
Cima Coppi coffee
The Cima Coppi is the highest point the riders have to climb in the Giro d'Italia. Thus, the Passo dello Stelvio often named Cima Coppi. The Cima Coppi coffee is just as much of a crowd pleaser. A regular espresso roast with distinct flavours such as milk chocolate, caramel, blueberries and a hint of jasmine. A full-bodied coffee that is not too bitter. Delicious as a pre-ride coffee. You may even begin to hear the screaming Tifosi while drinking your espresso - according to Il Magistrale.
