View Full Version : Do International Foods Coffee have caffiene?
I'm talking about those "celebrate the moments of your life" powdered ones. I did a search and only found one person that said they used them, but I could never tell when drinking the stuff if it had caffiene. Anyone know? Thanks!

Thanks! My trail coffee recipe dilemma is now solved. These taste way better than any of the recipes I've tried yet. Although a bit pricey, but I'll call it a luxury item and splurge.

i use them. i mix them with a tiny bit of real instant coffee and sugar in baggies so that i have it premixed and ready to go. the term for it is jamoke.
They are very easy to make yourself! If you'd like some recipes, let me know :) You could make enough for a year for the cost of two tins of it....

Kroger brand decaffinated coffee bags. Steep it like a tea bag in my Nalgene.

Yeah, they're pretty much just sugar and cocoa/chocolate aren't they Sarbar?
Not that there's anything wrong with that......:)

Hot cocoa mix with instant coffee/coffee bags/....throw some in your morning mix of cereal(cocoa mix, not the coffee), changes up the taste too..

If it does not have caffeine, it's not real coffee, just a poor substitute! :D
Jolt Cola, anyone? :eek:

Yes, someone knows... THEY know. Why don't you ask them???
Nothing like going to the horse's mouth. ~wink~
Then... let the rest of us know.

Do you grind the instant coffee to a powder in the Mocha mix like you do in the cappuccino mix?
These look like they would be great for the coldass winters here in WV. Plus hunting season is coming soon and this will give me something to take instead of just plain coffee.
Thanks.

Grinding it is good :) You don't have to, but it helps it dissolve.

Sorta...kinda related...
I've experimented at home with a Folgers crystals/NIDO/Carnation Instant Breakfast mix and I like the results. I mix the ingredients together and then sift them which allows easy mixing in hot water with little clumping.
I'm planning on using this with a couple bars of Logan Bread for a camp breakfast. It will be high calorie and high fiber but fairly light. The mix provides ~120c/oz and the Logan Bread bars are about the same. Two cups of the mix and two Logan bars will be ~825 calories...pretty high for breakfast but light enough so it won't be uncomfortable on the trail. The mix by itself ensures (hey...a pun!:p ) a pretty vitamin/mineral-rich meal. Should be pretty fast meal prep and clean up. Oh yeah, it tastes good too!
Beware...the mix is bulky. But it provides a good dose of protein, fat, vitamins, etc. And I get my coffee jolt.:)
