I saw these on sale in store and bought two boxes. Kicking myself foe not buying then all! I have tried it hot and cold and I prefer tossing it in a shaker bottle and heading out. The flavor is really good, you don't need to add anything else. Though I did try it with some chocolate collagen powder to make a chocolate Chai, not bad either.
If you camp, hike, or just want it for the convenience I'd snag a few boxes. The individual packages are super easy to tear open as well.
We mainly use this on backpacking trips. Nicely packaged, light weight, and easy to open with sleepy eyes and/or cold hands. Good enough for the occasional quick cup at home too. Stellar product, great company to work with too.
As climbers turned canoe campers we tried all the ways to do coffee while in the backcountry and dealing with grounds is such a pain. But enjoying your morning cup can be the only luxury you have out there so something that tastes good is worth it! Alpine Start coffee was a game changer! Its perfect.
The coffee resolves easily and it has a strong taste hints of dark roasted beans. Unfortunately, I prefer lighter roasts and therefore one star off. I was also really excited about a coffee with creamer premix, but I wish it would have more creamer in it. Together with the dark roasted coffee and the low amount of creamer it tasted very bitter. Anyway, I can see how this might appeal to others. It was definitely tasting like good quality ingredients and dissolved easily, no clumps.
