Awhile back I had come across Nescafe® Memento™ drink mixes at the store and picked up Caramel and Cappuccino, Mocha is also offered. Finally with the cool weather I felt like trying it out – I am quite skeptical when I try flavored instant coffee beverages. Most are sickly sweet and chalky in texture at best. So these sat [...]

New to the scene is Dr. Drip Coffee, an easy to use way to make fresh coffee on the trail (or really anywhere) using ground coffee, not instant. The entire packaging is compostable (and or recyclable for the outer box) – all of it – making it a friendly choice. (I am testing it out [...]

They have a 7 flavor pack, with each box containing 6 foil packets. It contains: Arctic White, Caramel Chocolate, Supreme Chocolate, Milk Chocolate with [...]
