Racing with Caffeine – Why Cyclists Drink Coffee
With the growing popularity of cycling, the presence of cycling enthusiasts on cafe terraces has noticeably increased. Have you ever wondered why cafes serve as their quintessential pit stop, and a cup of espresso as their favorite legal performance booster?
Riding on two wheels has become a signature sport of our era, and the peloton of active cyclists continues to expand. Many riders map out their routes specifically to include at least one specialty coffee spot. Our cafe at Košická 36 has also become a beloved stop for cyclists, which sparked a conversation over a freshly brewed batch brew about why their wheels are so eager to brake whenever they sense a caffeinated prime.
Coffee Ride
Right after the very first sip, everyone around the table understands what subtly connects lingering over coffee with hours in the saddle: community and solitude. Much like visiting a cafe, anyone can hop on a bike solo from time to time to enjoy quiet moments in the company of their own thoughts. Yet, more often than not, we prefer sharing these trendy pastimes with a like-minded group.
It is precisely the social aspect of cycling that often provides the main motivation for trading slippers for cycling shoes. Getting fresh air on a ride, bonding as a group, and finally rewarding oneself with coffee and pastry. That is the ideal Saturday for many bike owners who run on espresso power. And so, it all naturally came together into a legitimate culinary sprint known as the coffee ride.
Such rides always begin or conclude with specialty shots. The route winds depending on where the third wave has left its most distinctive mark, often featuring multiple stops along the way. Coffee rides are extraordinarily popular because they effortlessly combine business with pleasure, and many riders can no longer imagine their rides any other way. "Getting on the bike and pedaling towards great coffee is the ultimate relaxation. Besides, I always look forward to the finish line, knowing a high-quality energy boost is waiting for me."
Says Johny, an avid cycling and coffee enthusiast. And he is right. Beyond being a delightful reward, a cup of coffee is also a fantastic natural energy booster.

Why Espresso?
Athletes across all disciplines are well aware of the benefits of caffeine. However, very few sports offer the luxury of rolling up to a high-quality cup right in the middle of training. That is why caffeine has become a go-to stimulant for nearly all cyclists. It is well established that caffeine reduces perceived exertion, enhances endurance, and sharpens focus. For endurance athletes, it provides proven ergogenic effects, particularly when consumed prior to or during physical exertion.
Even a double shot at the end of a coffee ride is far from a mere bohemian indulgence. Numerous studies have demonstrated that post-exercise caffeine intake improves recovery and, when paired with appropriate carbohydrates, accelerates muscle glycogen replenishment.
So whether you are an occasional cyclist or someone who clocks miles several times a week, unclip from your pedals at your favorite cafe without hesitation. You might not walk away with the yellow jersey, but you will definitely recharge your energy like Eddy Merckx.

Signature coffee cocktails: Part 1
Our summer relocation allowed us to introduce beverage specialties to our menu that command special attention even behind the bar. Your conversations may occasionally be punctuated by the rhythmic rattle of ice cubes in a shaker tin, followed moments later by coffee served in elegant stemware. Indulge in autumn melancholy in high style with world-class coffee cocktails, or relax in a low armchair with a hot batch brew and our insightful series on coffee-centric drinks.
In Balance
They bring together the finest elements you look for behind the bar, which is why the world has fallen in love with them: a perfect harmony of flavors, aromas, potency, and finesse. Coffee cocktails are taking bar and cafe menus by storm, and their offerings have long expanded beyond the world-famous Irish Coffee. While that whiskey classic gave many their very first coffee-cocktail experience—making it effortless to fall for the flawless blend of delicious coffee and warming alcohol—the world of coffee-infused drinks is vastly richer. If you count yourself among coffee cocktail lovers, step behind the bar with us and discover which one will tempt you. Hold on to your coupe glasses, here we go!
Espresso Martini
One of the most iconic cocktails where a fresh shot plays the starring role. Its creation is credited to the legendary English bartender Dick Bradsell, who formulated the recipe in 1983 at the Soho Brasserie in London. Steeped in lore about an unnamed supermodel for whom Bradsell reportedly shook up the drink one late night, it ignited an instant sensation. Her request was crystal clear: she desired a drink that would both wake her up and provide a kick. Since coffee beans were rolling across the bar all day, espresso was the bartender's first natural choice. His second was vodka, which dominated the counter after dark in the early eighties. Finally, all it took was adding coffee liqueur with a dash of sugar, and… a star was born. Before long, patrons across the entire bar were ordering the cocktail, and its fame soon exceeded the walls of Soho Brasserie. Today, the iconic Espresso Martini is served in the world's premier cocktail bars and remains one of the most beloved coffee cocktails of all time.
Goriffee Twist
You can also find our unique twist on this cocktail legend in our menu. We dressed it in a tropical shirt, and right from the first sip, you will agree the look suits it impeccably. We substituted vodka with a delicately sweet rum, added pineapple juice, and balanced homemade orange oleo saccharum with our espresso.
Come taste our signature twist. We guarantee that at the bottom of the first glass, you will discover several new meanings of balance, and by the end of the second, you might just feel like slipping into a flamingo shirt. Here is to November with an Espresso Martini!

Our new home in a new hood on Košická
Over the past few months, alongside our roaster, we put drills, screws, and construction craftsmen to work. While fine-tuning the flavor profiles of new roasts, we matched colors and assembled our new space piece by piece. Since mid-September, the aroma of espresso has been filling the air, and only delicious cocktails are left to be perfected to achieve complete balance. Welcome to Bratislava's most charming neighborhood, at our new location on Košická.
It is just after eight in the morning, and the first morning athletes are already parking their bicycles outside the café door. The sunny spots beneath the windows have been claimed by a pair of business professionals holding a breakfast meeting, while a group of students has taken over the back table, deciding to review their schedules over a fresh V60. Just days after opening, you brought this café to life. Casual passers-by and neighbors from next door have all found their favorite nook here. Bringing you together and creating a lively, diverse space had been our plan long before this new address won our hearts. And we are delighted that it won yours, too.
This location captivated us immediately. Even though Košická was not originally on our radar, a single glance from the sidewalk into the original premises was enough for us to envision ourselves behind the bar. The lush green surroundings, generous terrace space, and the genius loci of the entire street perfectly matched our vision of an ideal afternoon with a cappuccino outside the city center. And that is precisely how we wanted to become part of this new neighborhood.
Before the weathered walls received fresh paint and our café took on our brand colors, several tons of beans passed through the roaster, dozens of craftsmen walked through the doors, and the classic adage "Rome wasn't built in a day" crossed our minds more than once. We patiently navigated the renovation, which took slightly longer than originally planned, and we spent part of that time in workwear ourselves. At times, our roastery turned into a workshop that produced custom-made tables and plenty of ideas. Looking up from our handcrafted tables toward the ceiling, you will be struck by our industrial sun—a lighting installation that plays with light reflection to mimic sunbeams across the gray ceiling. Our walls are adorned with original paintings by the talented artist Lucia Žitnayová, while rich yellow contrasts with azure blue throughout the space. The vibrant contrasts of Košická.
Goriffee Košická is a space where you can experience our coffee at its freshest. Everything we package in our roastery arrives almost immediately on the café shelves, and a fresh roast is always ready in the grinder. In addition to coffee, our new venue serves drinks that make reaching your daily step goal well worth it. Our signature house Espresso Martini quickly established itself at the bar, earning top honors among cocktails for both our team and our guests. Furthermore, daily fresh pastries from local bakeries like Eberhard, Mandlove, and Le sucre make the perfect accompaniment to a delicious morning cappuccino.
Stop by Košická and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of our new neighborhood with us. We believe that the familiar aroma of good vibes has followed us here as well.

The price of our coffee from Brazil is rising again. Do you know why?
Supply chain issues have been complicating our situation for much longer and far more than we anticipated. Prices are rising across all production inputs, from delivery, packaging, labels, and boxes, to roasting gas, electricity, and the green coffee itself. We have previously explained on our blog why the price of green coffee beans continues to climb.
Therefore, starting in February, we will have to adjust the prices of our year-round coffees, namely Brazil Caramelo and the Highlander espresso blend.
This situation is unfortunate, and we approach this price adjustment with great humility and reluctance. We deeply appreciate your continued support and loyalty.
The good news is that we have managed to secure contracts for your favorite coffees until the end of 2022. As a result, this key production item will have a fixed price, and unless major macroeconomic shifts occur, we do not anticipate any further price increases this year.
Erik from Goriffee.

Why is Brazilian coffee no longer cheap?
As you have certainly noticed, the prices of many commodities and manufacturing inputs have skyrocketed in recent months. Although we do so reluctantly, we are compelled to address and adapt to this situation.
Let us take a look at what is happening in the economy and how it affects us.
Energy prices
The transition to green energy, combined with unstable supply chains and unresolved storage issues, has paradoxically led to a major return of electricity generation from coal and gas. This gas is then lacking for industrial production and household heating, driving both gas and electricity prices to staggering heights.

Logistics challenges
Shipments are delayed, warehouses are empty, and no one knows when inventory will be replenished or when these issues will be resolved. From microchips to paper coffee filters, this situation impacts the entire supply chain. The issue lies not only in manufacturing, but also in shipping capacity itself, which shrank during the pandemic and is currently unable to operate with sufficient flexibility and efficiency.
Read more at: https://www.gbreports.com/article/logistics-challenges-in-2021
Labor shortages
Where has everyone gone? This is likely the most common question among HR managers today. The pandemic seems to have altered people's preferences, leading to an increase in voluntary unemployment. This represents a structural shift that will not easily reverse, while the labor shortage continues to put significant upward pressure on wages.

Frost in Brazil and climate change
Climate change is here. Not in 5 or 10 years—we find ourselves in the midst of a crisis right now, which was clearly evident in Brazil, where frost occurred during the ripening period of this year's harvest. In the world's largest coffee-producing country, the yield will be reduced by at least 30%. Since then, coffee prices have surged dramatically, and with similar challenges emerging in other origin countries, it remains uncertain where they will peak.
Read more at: https://dailycoffeenews.com/2021/07/12/frost-hits-brazilian-coffee-lands-extent-of-damage-not-yet-known/
Inflation
Not only the aforementioned factors, but numerous others have pushed inflation rates upward to their highest levels in the past 13 years. This means that the purchasing power of money has decreased for both goods and services.
Read more at: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/euro-zone-inflation-jumps-13-year-high-worsening-ecb-headache-2021-10-01/
Unfortunately, all the aforementioned challenges—which have increased our production costs and purchase prices across virtually all operations—have forced us to take action.
Therefore, albeit reluctantly, we will be adjusting the prices of our coffees starting in November 2021. This will primarily affect our Brazil Caramelo coffees and the Highlander espresso blend.
We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your continued loyalty,
The Goriffee Team.
