Early Riser has been talking about these... They sound pretty good, by his account.

They're an excellent way to get a halfway decent cup going. I just mix two packs in about 16 ounces of cold water. Hits the spot, and nothing beats the simplicity.

Funny I met early riser in Va few weeks ago while I was on a short 2.5 day section hike....I've yet to try Maxim on trail just at home but plan on using as I've done before....


16 oz Gatorade bottle with water
1.5 bag of carnation IB
1 Maxim coffee
1 Mt Hagen coffee
1 spoon of nido....

Usually make two of these before bed so they're ready first thing...I like em cold..

I do almost the same thing, only its just carnation instant breakfast and Starbucks instant mocha or latte (which is basically instant coffee, dried milk, and sugar).

I've got some....my opinion: meh.

Cafe Bustello(sp?) is the best cheap single serve IMO.

I like bustello also but like changing it up....all about $.20-.25 per pack so way cheaper than the via from 4$ .....Which I dislike almost as much as tasters choice....yuck!

Milk and sugar in coffee??

Sorry, people that put stuff in coffee, have absolutely no idea what coffee even is.

I drink crap coffee daily for work and when in rush. Not a coffee snob, but i grind and brew fresh roasted coffee beans when i have time. Most people have never tasted what real good fresh coffee is. They need milk and sugar because they are drinking bitter sour stale oxidized old grind coffee, overroasted to try to hide the bitterness.

I hear ya...I've had plenty of "good coffee" been to costa, Puerto Rico several times and recently Cuba and frequent the cesspool of south Fl...I know what good coffee is and drink it the way I like it...I drink Cuban coffee black but like to change it up...I am a coffee snob at home but on trail I like my caffeine with sugar and milk!!!

They also sell it black....i accidentally ordered the gold version with milk and sugar but does tastes a lot better than others I've had.....the packaging isn't in English...sure hope it's just milk and sugar!!!

Interesting. So nobody that appreciates good coffee ever uses any form of additive? What about the various international variations that are brewed intensely and typically served with sugar (Lebanese and Turkish come to mind). I generally drink black coffee at home from fresh roasted and ground beans with a French press. Doesn't mean I don't occasionally use heavy cream with it. On the trail I find a French press a giant pain. An aeropress is a decent alternative. However, most of my trips these days are stove less, and the Korean coffee fits that situation perfectly. Listen more to people's needs and options and rush to judgment less.

Oh I dunno I'd have to disagree regarding coffee I'll agree on fresh grinding whole beans though. I personally enjoy it with a touch of cream. And yes I've had my share of black coffee

Coffe advice from a guy named "Muddy Waters"?! Bahahaha! awesome
Actually I only drink black coffee too. I live in Okinawa now and the Japanese have lots of instant coffee choices. Not too bad.

I like my coffee the same as my wife. Tall, dark, and bitter

In the words of one of my best worldly friends, "I like my coffee like I like my women. Dumb!"

[zippyd8]

Sounds pretty good

I agree. That's what I've been carrying recently.

[Dogwood]

Does it come with a translator? From SK or NK? I don't trust that NK cult leader even with my instant coffee. How much Won does it cost? I'm not in the strict forum am I?

Well we know where the OP stands starting threads today titled "What energizes you after bonking out?" and "Another awesome coffee..."
