We partnered with Drive Coffee earlier this year to begin a process of delivering unique, premium blends to our fellow enthusiasts, and we're excited to announce that our second set (following the launch collection), is in collaboration with Porsche. As you probably know, they're celebrating their 70th year of sports car manufacturing this year with a focus on enjoying Porsche products and moments with others. Perhaps you prefer some peace and quiet with your morning cup, but there's a reason Cars & Coffee became the go-to format for social car shows—in other words, a can of special coffee can bring people together too.
Before creating the roasts we selected three significant pieces of Porsche's sporting history for inspiration: the 911, the 917, and the 959. As a group they define the marque's success in novel engineering for roads and race tracks alike, and taken individually each car deserves the volumes of books written about them. These are paradigm-shifters, ongoing legends, icons of motorsport, and though they've already achieved so much more, this trio was our inspiration behind the three roasts detailed below. Please note that all coffees are roasted to order, and shipped within 48 hours after the roasting process is complete.
