Ready-to-drink coffees that are perfect for your caffeine fix

By Aaron Brennt Eusebio

Coffee has been an early morning fixture for most people. Some would make their drinks at the comfort of their home, while others choose to buy from well-known companies.

Since most people are stuck at home and coffee shops only allowed for-here customers at a limited capacity, they adjusted their business model and offered bottle coffees that can be delivered straight to your doorsteps.

While we miss the ambiance of a coffee shop, drinking their coffee would still make us energize to finish the tasks ahead.

Here are some local shops that are offering delivery for your everyday caffeine fix.

1. Pedal Cafe

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Pedal Cafe was originally located at Mercato Centrale in BGC, known for its Instagrammable Shakespressos.

Since the food industry was badly hit by the pandemic, Pedal Cafe turned online to sell their products. Some of their selections are cafe americano, latte, mocha, vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, Miss Saigon, and Spanish latte.

Pedal Cafe originally only sold 350ml bottle coffee but eventually, they started selling 1-liter bottles of Spanish latte, Miss Saigon, and latte for coffee addicts.

To order, just send a message on their Instagram account: pedalcafeph.

2. Commune

People who work in Makati probably heard about Commune when its location was still in Liberty Plaza at the heart of Makati's central business district.

Even though it transferred to the nearby Poblacion district, Commune continues their tradition supporting local Filipino coffee farmers by offering four species of coffee: Arabica, Liberica (Barako), Excelsa, and Robusta.

Commune now sells a Cold Brew Collection that features coffee beans from different parts of the country: the Commune Blend (using Benguet Arabica and Cavite Robusta beans), Mount Matutum single-origin 100% Arabica, Atok, Benguet single-original 100% Arabica, Alfonso, Cavite single-origin 100% Liberica, and Sagada, Mountain Province single-origin 100% Arabica.
