Cycling is a family, welcome to our company.

It seems that all those who are passionate about cycling have an equal passion for coffee.  It has something to do with the simple pleasure of firing up with a shot of coffee before heading off for a ride, and stopping mid-ride for a coffee, a break and a chat.  This is very much a ritual for me, and it was this twin passion for cycling and coffee that led me to start Coffee & Cols. 

I started riding in the late 1980s with Paddington CC, just after the outdoor track in Maida Vale closed down.  I then had the delight of racing for “Bike UK,” .  I love to ride the Italian sportives and several haute-routes, the south downs on the mountain bike in day at least once a year is good for the soul, as well as popping down to Herne Hill Velodrome and the Olympic Park from time to time to socialise and occasionally race.  

​Cycling has become a passion for so many more people, ​especially in the last few years as GB has become a cycling nation.  For Coffee & Cols, we wanted to create coffee cups that celebrate some of the iconography of cycling, in an elegant and understated way.  Our jersey sets are subtle enough that non-cyclists will appreciate them as great-quality, coloured, striped and dotty cups, but cyclists and cycling fans will immediately spot the representation of the Tour, World Champion and King of the Mountains jerseys.  We think that our cups make the perfect "off-bike" gift, for cyclists who seem to have every bit of 'kit' imaginable.

Our cups are individually hand-made in the UK, and are of exceptionally high quality.  The porcelain is thick-walled in an Italian style, and they are kiln-fired (rather than digitally printed), giving them a glossy, high-end finish.  Feedback from our customers has been amazing - you can see some of it here.

​Keep checking back - we are constantly adding new products.  Happy riding, and we hope you enjoy our cups!
