The recent Instagram posts from Ocean Air Cycles showing the new Hobo Trousse has me fired up about getting my coffee kit more organized.  I'll confess that I spend more time than I'd like to admit moving my toys from one bicycle to another.  Some here know that I combine bikes and coffee OFTEN.  It's just what I do.  So it didn't take a nano-second for me to pre-order mine.  They are in, and shipping out now...and I'm fired up (I said that, right?).  Thanks for listening.

I just ordered mine in Navy!  It will be nice to keep all my coffee outside gear in one place and just move the Hobo Trousse between my bike bag and car camping bin.

Mine arrived yesterday.  So far, all I've been able to do is open it up and admire it.  It looks very sturdy, and is quite light.  Just what I hoped.  Normally I opt for conservative colors, but went wild with multicam this time.  Ironically, it will be easy to find my coffee gear in my Sackville Shopsack.  I plan to sort my gear, get it organized, and unleash photos of it into instagram soon.

Just got mine too - very nicely designed and made. I went with solid black, mostly because the Docena Mark II I just picked up is in black multicam. Looking forward to an organized coffee outside. Nice work Rob and Swift!

Just a quick follow-up. I've been using mine regularly with great success. The only potential drawback for me is that it might be slightly oversized (bulk) for my most space constrained lightweight bikepacking applications. But that is rare. For 95% of my needs it is PERFECT. Easy in, easy out, and smooth zip action. I distinctly remember thinking this at the end of my last few outings, as I was packing up to leave, "Wow, I've already got everything stowed away?!" It is so much easier, I'm still surprised. It is simply plain fun to use good gear.
