Rocket Fuel Coffee with Guarana

Advantages: tastes good, not too expensive and gives you a massive kick, ethical company too
Disadvantages: really will keep you up, don't drink before bed

...It had been a long week, lots of work, not much sleep and definitely no social life, Friday rolled around and I wanted to go out. But I was knackered, what a dilemma. Then I found ROCKET FUEL in my corner shop, it promised to give me a kick start and did it. I had quite a strong cup, 2 teaspoons from my newly bought jar. I was off, buzzing, awake and on top form ready for what the night was going to throw at me. I just wanted to let you know of this awesome product. They also have self heating cups, so need for water or kettle! Perfect when in a rush, just push the buttom and ta da hot coffee in just 40 seconds. It is a mix of coffee and guarana, which is what gives it that extra kick. Fully recommend to anyone who needs a kick, before or after a night out-although not before you want to sleep!...

Review of Rocket Fuel Self Heating Espresso Power Shot

Rocket Fuel - Hot Coffee on the Move!

Advantages: Hot coffee wherever you are
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...Piping hot espresso anytime, anywhere you like? I've just come across Percol's great Rocket Fuel coffee in an ingenious self heating cup. Granted, a small cup, but with power like this, who needs more? The coffee: Finest Italian espresso coffee mixed with 0.9% Guarana. This combination significantly increases the stimulating effect, as Guarana is more consistent in its energy supply to your body than caffeine alone. It also fuels you for a longer period of time, so avoiding the hit-and-slump regularly associated with just caffeine. The cup: Easy peasy - turn upside down, press in the bottom and shake for 40 seconds. Turn right way up, peel off lid and drink - hot and strong. The packaging: Fiery-looking black pot with ROCKETFUEL in yellow running up its length. A box next to it states HOT ENERGY - STRONG BLACK COFFEE...

Review of Rocket Fuel Self Heating Espresso Power Shot

Rocket Fuel

Advantages: Strong. Very aromatic. Strong.
Disadvantages: Perhaps a wee bit *TOO* strong!

...her into town to finish off some late Christmas shopping. I hadn?t realised the effect that the coffee had had on me until I went into the kitchen to make her a wee cuppa. This stuff is rocket fuel! I was so high on the caffeine that my head was buzzing like a nest of angry wasps! Not exactly unpleasant as such, but certainly not a feeling that you?d want to be walking around with all day. ~ ~ So the million dollar question. Did I actually like Alta Rica? Well, yeah, it was tasty right enough. Strong without being bitter, and it slipped down the old throat with ease. Maybe not quite as pleasant as my favourite Kenco Colombian, but certainly a blend that I would buy again as an acceptable substitute. Mind you, I think I would be toning down the quantity of coffee I put in my mug just a tad! ~ ~ A look at my receipt from...

Review of Nescafe Alta Rica Instant Coffee

Bottle Rocket

Advantages: Good dialogue, good acting, interesting story
Disadvantages: Is a bit of a slow moving story

...Seeing how I think I did ok reviewing another of Wes Andersons movies I figured I might as well have a go at reviewing the others I've seen as well, so I figured I'd start with Bottle Rocket, as thats the first film that Wes directed and its also the first film that Owen and Luke Wilson and Bob Musgrave starred in too, the start of good things to come! This movie I believe was written while Owen (and Luke(?)) and Wes were at university together in Texas in the 1990s and is now seen as a cult comedy hit. Bottle Rocket is all about three friends who team up to escape their boring lifes and pursuit a life of petty crime. This eventually leads to the local criminal 'head honcho' who's played by James Caan, spotting them and convincing them to carry out a large heist - but is it too much for them to handle and will they get away with it...

get up and go go GO!

Advantages: great 'wake up' feeling
Disadvantages: a tad expensive (but for good reasons!)

...Rocket Fuel Coffee must be one of the best kept secrets of the supermarket. I had no knowledge of this great invention until my wife brought home a jar instead of the usual Asda own make generic coffee! One mug (with admittedly a HEAPED spoonful of coffee) had me hyper and ready to take on the world at 5am! Very brief history: Rocket Fuel Coffee is made by Percol, a company with recognition in the filter coffee market. I suppose it can be said that this is one of their first instant coffee's (along with Caffé Espresso, Café Americano, and Dark Americano). Percol Coffee was introduced to the UK 15 years ago by the company founder Brian Chapman, with all the coffee beans being bought from small plantations in different regions (Percol were the first to introduce a 'country of origin' coffee range to the UK). Percol themselves...

Review of Percol Rocket Fuel Coffee

Ultimate fuel works in practice.

Advantages: Widely available. Excellent value for money. Kinder to the environment.
Disadvantages: Looks expensive, not all garages stock Ultimate diesel.

...With apologies to the expert who wrote superbly on "true" alternative fuels in this category, I'd like to recall my experiences using BP Ultimate fuel over the last 15 months. You may offer an argument that petrol and diesel, however brewed don't qualify as "alternative fuels" and yes I'd agree with you. However we are in the real world here, most of us who drive have to fill our cars with petrol, diesel or, in the case of an increasingly large minority, LPG (Liquid Petrolium Gas). Like the government energy adverts say what difference does one person make? From my own experiences using initially BP's Ultimate Unleaded petrol, latterly Ultimate Diesel I can tell you that we would all be capable now of making a difference - most importantly at no cost financially to ourselves. For me with two very diverse cars, this fuel has...

Review of Alternative Fuels

The best for storing camping fuels

Advantages: Robust and light
Disadvantages: Availability and the screw lid can become stiff

...In times gone by, I used to work in a shop that sold a lot of camping equipment. It was only a matter of time before the camping bug bit me. Having the advantage of reports of equipment used by customers gave me the opportunity to make sure I had the best kit for what I needed. Often I would cycle, so that would mean space and weight would play a major part in making sure that my camping experiences could be as pleasurable as possible. Part of the camping experience is cooking food outdoors, apart from having an open fire (something that most campsites do not like or allow), you will need something to cook food on. Now that leaves three main choices Solid Fuel - Normally either a fuel block that you light or a gel in a can. Bottled Gas - This is usually Butane gas stored in a pressurised container. Liquid Fuels - Normally...

Review of Optimus Fuel bottles

Fuel (ps3) review

Advantages: superb graphics, nice features, track create
Disadvantages: many little bugs that you might notice, cheap AI

...Time to pump up your car with gas as you , explore Fuel, which has the worlds largest ever racing enviroment with a staggering 14,400 square kilometers. The game is set in post global warming America,beset by flooding, hurricanes typhoons and desertifacation, and in these deserted areas racers have gathered, with bikes, buggies, quad bikes, cars and monster trucks, all competing for the chance to win fuel. The gameplay is like most racing games, with checkpoint, cuircut, point to point, timed races, plus helicopter chases to choose between, or you could just cruise around the game, with its great enviromental effects, so far me myslef has experienced, thunder come down and set a tree on fire, crazy dirt pile ups and a typhoon. But as I always say no game is perfect, one of the more annoying desgins is that even though the world...

Review of Fuel (PS3)

Rocket-who

Advantages: Cool helmet
Disadvantages: Weak cast, slightly duff story

...at a story but it never seems really grand enough and does suffer from having weak characters. Maybe not as bad as a lot of people would have you think and if you're a fan of the 30's serial King of The Rocket Men then you might get something out of it. Watchable if it's on and it's raining outside but don't make any special effort to see it...

Hot, Strong, Energy! At a price...

Advantages: Hot, strong coffee, on the go!
Disadvantages: 75 ml? -.- Expensive!

...UPDATE::: I'm sorry, i am reviewing the Percol Rocket Fuel Self Heating Cup, didn't realise. Well, i'm sure this will come in handy anyway! I remember first walking to Tesco's and seeing this on the shelves. Rocket Fuel, Self Heating Coffee. Although it was expensive, it was on new offer on a Buy One Get One Free offer. Bieng the bargain sucker i am, i couldn't resist getting it! If you read my other reviews you'll see i'm a HUGE coffee lover, and need to try them all from the market! So it started raining when i was in the town centre, so i cracked one open because it was only 4 degrees celcius outside, and this is what i thought. First of all, these are £1.19 each in Tesco's, i got them for 59.5p approximately because the BOGOF offer. Inside the big thing theres a mere 75 ML of coffee. Anyways, Lets steam on. Using It...
