Important Farkle Question... Coffee

Before I joined a 12 step program I kept a 12 v grinder in my tank bag

a 1/3 cup of Sumatra beens wrapped in foil on a header pipie

a 1.5 cup of water in a steal cup with lid on another header pipe

a french press in my tank bag

after the second crash I joined MRCA (Motorcycle Riders Coffee Annonymous )

have had a couple of slips since then but have been lucky enough to be clean while riding for 9 years now - one day at a time

Off to the coffee house

Ta Ta for now

That sounds like an awesome setup!! (Except I prefer Kenyan to Sumatran) Sounds like a great touring coffee fix!

Good luck staying on the wagon...

So, to all you commuters out there: How do you drink coffee on a motorcycle safely while keeping it hot?

Is there a good motorcycle usable thermos with a long drinking tube on the market? Are there any electrical warmer attachments? What do you use?

It would be fun to roast and grind coffee, but I don't need another hobby, so I'm not even going to ask about what's involved. I make a quad espresso and drink it with my breakfast. That's usually my caffeine for the day.

I don't think there is a safe way to drink coffee on a motorcycle, but I think I've seen cupholders on Gold Wings, so someone else probably thinks differently.

I guess if I wanted to drink coffee while riding, I'd probably want to be on an AE so that I had a free hand.... or maybe an insulated "beer helmet" with the straw to your mouth.

I dunno. Oh yeah... Welcome to the forum!

Well, if you do ever get interested in roasting coffee, the ultimate website is www.sweetmarias.com for all your coffee needs. I'm roasting my coffee here in Afghanistan using a popcorn popper. It's not that hard to do.

On the Wing I used the Big Boy drink holder. Many thousands of miles with one (and yes, it is safe). https://www.touringspecialties.com/bigboy.html
However, the FJR is not set up to support that type of lump on the handle bars. Better to keep the thermos stuff for before/after riding. While on the bike, a drink system can be used, but it's best to keep the load off the controls. This has worked for me:

Thanks for the info!!

Check out these pics of my use of a RAM cupholder mounted on a 1" RAM ball. I am a consumate coffee/tea/cola drinker and can handle them either hot or cold. :dribble:

Thermal cup in your jacket and a long sip straw. That or chew grounds.

Don't let Uncle Dave fool you! I've seen him ride with coffee in his Skyway Hydration unit....similar to Bounce's. Then, when we stop for lunch, he'll dump out the remaining coffee and fill the thing with cola.

At least that's what my faded, unreliable memory plays back to me. :dribble:

If you do a search for "motorcycle cup holder" though, you'll find a lot of products like this thing.

There's an FJR running around with something like this on his left mirror stalk. When I saw it, it was carrying a 20 oz soda bottle with a straw.

Sooooo....you saw TurboDave's bike pre-Hydration Kit! :dribble:

Dave is a man who lives by the prime directive: Function over form! :yahoo:

Just stop on the way. I see distracted cage drivers all the time - I can't imagine sipping coffee while riding.

I don't drink coffee, so I don't know if this will work or not, but can't you just slip a fingerful of ground beans into your cheek as if it was tobacco and suck on it during the ride? It seems like removing the liquid from the equation would also help make it safer.
