    Nestle Nativ Cascara Classic

    Ingredients: Water, Sugar, Lemon Juice, Cascara Extract (0.5%)
    Made in Australia from at least 99% Australian ingredients.

    It gets a 2 star health rating and I assume that low because they have 10.8g of sugar (about two and a half teaspoons) which it really doesn't need.
    I've never added sugar to cascara and prefer the tea type dry tannins of cascara and water.
    Hey Nestle, you might get better sales without sugar!

    Interesting though and the initial taste is all cascara dried apricots and pipe tobacco which might be weird for someone expecting coffee flavours.

    I haven't seen it here, might be a regional thing but his comment was "absolutely putrid".

    darn I really want to try that. Wonder f they still make it

    Bought coffee lip balm last year. Smelt good but wasn’t nice. And a coffee soap that smelt awesome from IGA.

    I recently bought a small "iced coffee" (in a waxed paper carton) advertised as using coconut milk. I didn't read the fine print.

    Unfortunately it also contains dates (reeks of them) and tastes nothing like coffee, iced coffee, coconut milk or even dates. Just shows that using three ingredients i like doesn't mean they play well together.

    After I gave it a fail three friends tried a sip - consensus "godawful" voted in unanimously. I cannot remember the brand as it hit the recycling bin about a month ago.

    I wonder who thought that this combo was a good idea?
    Yuk!

    Not a silly one, although it sounded like it when i first encountered it.

    An elderly Russian lady in the'70's made me a dark rye bread using a recipe from WW II (when everything was in short supply). Also contained cocoa (powder) and coffee (instant). It was stunning.

    I revived it (luckily I have a good "food taste memory") a few years back and when "wattgn" Woodvale ran some CS meets I made it using "Andy's double dutch cocoa" and a dark roast put through the espresso maker. After a coupe of attempts - moving to a light roast "New Guinea A" (the real '60's one, not most of the recent rubbish) I reckon nowadays it is a better dark rye than the original - better ingredients helps a lot.

    Interesting!

    I used to work for a certain large red cola manufacturer (can you guess which one???) including the production lines that made a Barista style iced coffee. No, I don't know how i sleep at night either.

    It tastes like coffee, then the coke comes through and finishes in a chemical storm. I had two mouthfuls and tipped the rest out.

    Been available in one form or another in the US for many years so Robusto might not have a case for royalties.

    They already have much in common: colour, "crema" caffeine.

    But the addition of coffee alters the coke texture, making it lighter, fizzier and the taste is superb. So is the bouquet. Roll on summer.

    Did you patent that idea in 2006 Robusto?

    Tiana just bought me this bottle of Coke after school.
    The label reads:

    Plus Coffee
    No Sugar
    Coca Cola

    "Real coffee from Brazil"

    Tastes okay but my first thought was you should be knocking on their door and asking what percentage of sales you should be expecting.

    The brewer for Mikkeller is apparentlynomad brewer.
    A good find and cerainly something Ill add to my "silly coffee" wishlist.  An interesting concept of nomad brewing too... they must learn a lot of different techniques working that way.
    Hi Andy, dunno what your travel movements are like at the mo but this is currently on tap at The Local Taphouse in Darlinghurst, Sydney. Might even be worth asking the St Kilda one if theyll have it sometime soon ...
