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.
