Base Camp
The warmer weather and longer days are a boon for cyclists but they also signal the start of camping season and weekends away from it all. You dont have to go so far though, or wait so long, to invite those feelings of space, freedom and tranquility.
In much the same way as a journey on two wheels offers more than simply a way from a to b, so those stolen few minutes brewing a cup of 'slow coffee' offers more than just a caffeine infusion. And once you are hypnotised by the dancing flames of an open fire you could be anywhere or nowhere.
With Snowpeak's packable fire pit you can quickly turn your suburban garden into an off grid oasis. Founded in 1958, their heirloom items are ostensibly built for the outdoors, but weave effortlessly into the fabric of daily routines and rituals. Whether gathering around the kitchen table, preparing for the morning commute or welcoming in a weekend to be spent in the garden, their equipment invites reflection and encourages connection.
Snow Peak's Field Barista Coffee Grinder and Field Barista Kettle elevates coffee brewingfrom routine to ritual. Revolutions of the grinder’s handle giveaway to concentric circles fromthe kettle as just-boiled water fills the Collapsible Pour Over brewer. Combining form withfunction, when not in use the brewer packs flat to fit almost anywhere.
Alongside the now iconic Single Wall Titanium Mug, Snow Peak’s Double-Wall Titanium Stacking Mugs are home-friendly. Not only does the double-wall construction help keep contents hotter for longer, they also remain cool to the touch and negate the need for a coaster.
As the mid afternoon heat gives way to a crisper evening air, there's no need to seek shelter inside. The Pack & Carry Fire Pit can transform the back garden into a base camp and extend the time that can be enjoyed together outdoors. Like its smaller sibling, the Collapsible Pour Over brewer, it folds flat to slide snugly under the stairs until it's ready to be used again (and again).
