Some gear earns a spot in your daily routine that has nothing to do with riding. The Assos Coffee Mug Monogram Set lands squarely in that category, pairing two ceramic mugs with the brand's signature monogram pattern for the hours bookending your rides. Whether it's the pre-ride espresso while you're checking the weather radar, or the recovery coffee after a long Saturday in the saddle, these mugs make the ritual feel a little more deliberate.

The set includes two mugs finished in Assos's recognizable monogram graphic, the same pattern that shows up across the brand's apparel and accessories.
