Adventure to origin!
Kieran is packing his bags heading to Brazil and Peru at the end of this month.
What to pack for this great adventure?
Top 5 Essential items
Hello fellow coffee enthusiasts - Kieran here, Sustainability Specialist at BOCCA!
At the end of this month, I will be traveling to Brazil and Peru to visit our partners and farms involved in our True Price project. For me, the only way to truly understand what goes into our coffee is to go to origin. I'll be visiting the farms where we source our beautiful coffees and speaking with the people who make what we do possible.
The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the production processes, and to keep developing projects that have a real impact (more on this soon). And of course, to thank our farmer for all their fantastic work.
1. BOCCA Survival Bag
I may have been granted only five essentials for this list, but the BOCCA survival bag offers unlimited possibilities for any coffee lover on an adventure.
With several compartments to store all your coffee gear and travel necessities, this compact, robust and elegant bag will be by my side throughout the trip.
Designed with quality in mind, for quality travel. Name a better travel bag, if you dare.

2. Opinel Knife x Bocca
The Opinel knife is the perfect combination of practical tool and aesthetic beauty (especially with a BOCCA logo engraved on the side).
You might need it to slice open a fresh bag of coffee or make an emergency fix to a broken cupping table. Either way, the Opinel knife always comes in handy on a journey.
P.S. Please use it safely – the blade is very sharp!
3. Bocca Hand grinder
Ask any coffee nerd: it all starts with a good grinder. Which means you take it with you, wherever you go.
Designed for a consistent grind size and the coffee geek in mind, this hand grinder delivers a fantastic result in the cup. The smooth rotation gives a grinding sensation like cutting through clean air.
4. Stormproof Jetflame
The stormproof Jetflame has always got your back. These storm-resistant, windproof lighters produce a clean flame wherever you are.
So whether you’re stuck on the road and desperate for a coffee, or trying to get a bonfire going after a long day, you’re covered.
Gone are the days of asking around for a lighter. A reliable flame is essential when you travel.
5. True Price Soulmate
This one is personal, but I recommend everyone brings their favourite coffee on any trip.
Visiting Brazil means I get to share our beans with our fantastic partners: sharing the taste of hard work and a joint effort towards a high-quality product.
Since we are working together on our True Price project, this coffee is definitely going into my bag after a long day of… well… drinking coffee!
