  • Coffee! The concentrated bean juice that half the world runs on, and only then because the other half are on tea or energy drinks.
    Anyway, here's some things that should be quite sweet but don't have any sugar in. A strong proposition, but do these offerings from Beanies taste good?

      I think the idea is it's coffee with flavouring added rather than sweetner added....as my girlfriend who actually seems to like them was shouting at the reviews. Ingredients: Instant coffee, Flavourings. You add augar or sweetner to taste it seems.

  • @BloodrealmX
    @BloodrealmX Před 4 lety +465

    "it's just sweetener; no actual sugar" I'll let you in on a secret: if it had a sweetener in it, it would have to say so in the ingredients. Which it doesn't. That's why it isn't sweet at all. They've taken really cheap instant coffee, added really cheap synthetic flavourings of flavours that _need_ to be sweet in order to actually _be_ that flavour, and that's it.

    Instant coffee is made with Robusta beans (as opposed to Arabica), which are cheaper and easier to grow with high yields. The downside is that Robusta beans make bad coffee, and indeed (burnt) rubber and wood are frequently the main tasting notes. Robusta does have a higher concentration of caffeine though, so instant coffee is mainly a "insert caffeine into body" thing, not a "i want to enjoy a cup of coffee" thing. Can't imagine how bad it'd taste with a bunch of artificial flavourings and sweeteners in. 😖🤢

      Same. I'm a fan of proper coffee but I do actually like these.
      Protip: you can prepare an overall much nicer cup from them if you disregard the instructions completely and make a latte with them. Brew an espresso-esque shot using 1.5 - 2 teaspoons of Beanies and maybe half an inch or so of boiling water in the bottom of a medium-sized mug, stir well to ensure it's dissolved, and top with hot frothed / steamed milk (requires a milk frother or steam arm, but you could also heat it up on the hob and use an Aerolatte for basically the same results for cheap... which also works amazingly for hot chocolates while we're at it). The sweetness of a more milky drink complements the rather unsweet coffee and brings out a surprising level of flavour. Some are better than others though. Cinder Toffee is my favourite that I've tried so far, and yes the Pumpkin Spice one was good too!
