Isn’t this world caffined-up enough? Daily I see huge queues outside places like Starbucks and little coffee shops of people desperate for their morning fix.

“I can’t operate if I don’t have my coffee”, “I don’t wake up until I have my coffee”, “Without coffee I don’t function”. Sorry but I think it’s all bollocks but then I don’t drink hot drinks so don’t buy into this mentality. And don’t then get me started on the coffee purists. Is instant coffee REALLY that different from stuff you pay three quid for at a chain? I’m yet to be convinced.

Anyway, this product from Japan (where else) comes from Frito Lay, the international version of our Walkers crisps. These corn crisps come in two – interesting – flavours, Caramel Macchiatto and Green Tea Latte. Each pack rams the equivalent of two cups of coffee’s worth of caffeine. Kind of put a bag of Cheese & Onion to shame, don’t they?

    As a coffee purist, I resent that remark. Instant coffee is shit. Chain-store coffee is manageable. Freshly ground coffee from Higgin’s of Mayfair is sublime.

    So there.

    Coffee snobbery rulz.
