I'm not done experimenting with coffee yet. A couple of weeks ago I read that a hiker suggested using instant Thai Coffee. I've written about coffee before but last time I suggested Turkish Coffee, not Thai coffee. However, I'm a huge fan of Thai food and I've enjoyed iced Thai coffee in the past so I had to give this stuff a try.
So immediately after reading about this stuff I ordered it from ImportFood.com. What I received didn't exactly match the picture on the site but it was what they claimed it would be.
I tried it and it's pretty good - that is if you like sweet and creamy coffee. I'm pretty sure this stuff would be trivial to make at home, the ingredients on the back are:
- 48% Dairy Creamer
- 27% Sugar
- 25% Coffee Powder
As I see it, the advantages of this stuff are:
- You can drink it cold
- It tastes pretty good
- Seems like it has a lot of caffeine
- It's already prepackaged for a single cup
The disadvantages are:
- It's about 1 oz per packet (the price of carrying real sugar)
- It's almost over-the-top sweet.
