Bear Naked Coffee: Origin Story – Part II
We were heading up Dog Mountain
When we realized that not everyone hiked, climbed, rode, cycled, kayaked carrying the essentials to make their adventure an Espresso Driven Adventure and Bear was sad. So, so we began our business for Adventure Driven Espresso Making Espresso Driven Adventure
Here I am at the top of a trail, thinking how great it would be if I could be surprised by an Espresso.I was once. On an Adventure while cycling the TransAm, the summer of 2010. I had just reached the top of the Continental Divide when another cyclist waved me over and gave me a freshly brewed double shot. He smiled as he had carried the gear all the way from Virginia and never used it, and felt I he had finally met someone who would appreciate the shot, and the sharing. We both agreed it was the best shot on an Adventure we could have. I have carried nearly the same setup every adventure since.

Bear Naked Coffee: Origin Story – Part I
I
t was on top of a lookout tower, just south of the Strawberry Mountains where Bear Naked Coffee has its genesis. Bears were on my mind that morning when I went to get out the AeroPress and Porlex Grinder to make “bare naked coffee”, espresso. When you have to carry in all your own materials, there isn’t room for cinnamon, caramel sauce. It was as I was talking to bear that I thought it would be funny to simply call it “Bear Naked Coffee” as we both thought it was pretty humorous. And so Bear Naked Coffee became a staple on adventures. -
BNC Receives Coffee From Summer Adventure
This summer I rode a motorcycle across the country for an adventure. In addition to my Bear Naked Coffee team setup, I stopped for espresso everywhere they spelled it correctly. One of the nicer espresso pours and experiences was in University City, MO at Blueprint Coffee.A delivery of Penrose v.7, their house blend, just arrived and it remind me of that experience. Bear and I are enjoying it this morning.
Maybe just one more before I head to the shop to repair my bicycle.
