Chapeau! coffee range – first look

Lifestyle brand Devon-based Chapeau! and its self-confessed caffeine addict director Luke Humphreys are now offering biking-themed coffees alongside the cycle clothing lines for men and women, skincare and frame bags already in their range.

The three varieties are Crank, Watts and Fixed, each with a distinctive taste and purpose. While Crank is a sweet, rich blend that will appeal to most, Watts is a powerful espresso that will deliver a “caffeine kick to the face”.

Or, if you don’t want to be assailed by your hot drink, Fixed is a refined blend with citrus notes which, Chapeau! says, “much like riding a fixed wheel”, isn’t for everyone. Price: £5.50 from www.velobrands.co.uk.
