Like most good things, my ops are hard to find. It's ok here in the free but poor kingdom of Somewhat Helpful. Just don't invade! N.B. I don't read long reviews.

Shaking for forty seconds is the fun-est part of this experience. the container gradually gets hotter and hotter in your hand. This cup is an elegant waisted shape with a red label, which looks as if could contain a regular size coffee, but you'll be disappointed unless you think one shot of Italian style expresso is a regular coffee.
It's just the thing if you are halfway up Everest and don't want to build a fire to heat a cuppa. In the big city, you would probably get more of a kick from a proper shot of strong Italian expresso. The idea is good. A combination of three stimulants, caffeine, sugar, and guarana, a South American herb, which is supposed to give the lift that caffeine gives, but without the disadvantages. So it's a three-way trip to the stars. But I couldn't taste the sugar and there just wasn't enough of it to feel I had had a drink. The high was rather mild. The taste was like strong-ish instant coffee.
Obviously I would have been much less picky on the mountainside for which I suspect this package was designed. I got mine for £1.09 at a swanky Tesco's.
