COFFEELICIOUS...

“Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.” That’s the recipe for coffee, according to the utterly French statesman Talleyrand (1754-1838).

Across the Channel the British took a more, well, British approach to coffee cookery: Seventeenth-century diarist Samuel Pepys wrote of Londoners larding their coffee with butter, mustard, oatmeal, and ale.

I normally do not drink coffee that much except if I have to get up early and I need some beverage to perk up my day. There are varieties right now in the market that makes coffee more appealing. There are flavored coffees nowadays like the ones that are infused with hazelnut or french vanilla flavors. Others retain the conventional taste but they have been slightly modified. And there are those which are in “light calorie” variety that also appeals to figure-conscious people. One of the variety that has been so promising is the “brown sugar” variety which uses brown sugar rather than the conventional white sugar. One of the great things about this is the fact that brown sugar contains more nutrients because it is less refined. Thus, it adds nutritional benefits to coffeeas a well-known antioxidants.

Kopiko is a company from Southeast Asia. It made a big splash when it created candies made from coffee. It was a quick remedy for people who want to have a doze of coffee but have no time to make one. Right now, they have manufactured instant coffee. I was so drawn to their brown sugar variety.

Given that it used brown sugar, I was keen on the sweetness and taste. When you use brown sugar, it makes the sweetness a little odd but this was a good mix. I love the sweetness that they have created here. It was not too sweet nor too different from the conventional mix. There is that precise sweetness in the drink. I enjoyed it.

Another thing perfect about this coffee is the smell. There is no added smell that was mixed to this coffee but it smells like caramel. It was very inviting and addicting. Every sip gives you that rich and full aroma of delicious coffee. I think it matters having a great smell because it makes your experience with it great. In my case, I am addicted drinking this because of the smell. Not to mention the taste.
