Shelton’s coffee cubes

People are wondering where I am getting all of these ‘free things’ from. Well, I’m not stealing them, I’m doing something even less honourable which is BEGGING for them through the magical methods of PR alerts and mass emails. One company that took pity on me is Shelton’s Coffee, who sent me some dissolvable coffee cubes. I opted for the cinnamon flavoured ones – all I can say is that they are amazing.

A cube of soluble flavoured coffee (it looks suspiciously like an OXO cube) transforms a mug of water or milk (hot or cold) in to a delicious, cinnamonny,  coffee drink that has only 30 calories – a lot less than my usual tipple of a black coffee and shot of cinnamon syrup from corporate coffee whores, Starbucks. 

They do other flavours, including Sambuca  and Lemon which I’m dubious about, but also Vanilla and Amaretto – I am so excited about December as I can buy some more, I have already annihilated an entire box.

A box of 10 costs £3.90 and delivery is £1.50, so it’s quite pricey, but at least it’s a low-cal treat! Plus it works out cheaper than a daily Starbucks and the company works closely with their Columbian growers. I will probably also go for a bag of Chococafe, ‘Roasted gourmet coffee beans covered with a smooth layer of chocolate. The bitter high quality coffee bean combined with a layer of sweet chocolate make it a delicious snack for any occasion’ – mmmmmm!
