Best and the Worst

[Globetrotter.uk]

I have been sorting out all those little packets of so-called tea and coffee drinks which come either in ration packs or from hotels etc. Do you use them and which one's are the best or worst for taste etc.

 

[Shambling Shaman]

I find the sachet of coffee in the brit 24hr packs will do 3 cups but the taste it not the best - instant tea

The lemon / orange drinks are not to bad (imo) but then we did call it Screech.

French rations have the best coffee and soup that is going in any ration pack.

I found some teabags the other day that taste exactly the same as rat pack instant tea. Think they were from Lidl.
Not sure if that's a good or bad thing... nah I do like it.
Got stacks of leftover sachets here also that I don't seem to throw out. Do use the odd one occasionally

 

[cattyman]

the green teas with lemon are the best,especially with a drop of something in it.

Brit rat pack coffee matches MRE coffee, both awful

Is that in the Salvation Army rat paks?

If anyone has any British army rat pack Instant white tea that they do not want I will gladly take it off your hands. I love the stuff when out-N-about.
Send me a PM if you can help.

Cheers.

Now thats just wrong!

I have just asked school to buy me some sachets of coffee & hot chocolate and they bought me a box each of Fair Trade stuff. Quality wise its up there with the best, although I still prefer my coffee bags for the filter coffee taste!

The first thing I do when I open a British rat pack is bin the coffee and the whitener so if any one actually likes them they are welcome to them. Sorry IN WOOD but I love the tea as well

 

[gilly0802]

best stuff n the brit rat paks has got to be the hot choc

authough i tend to pre mix the instant tea and sugar into a small plastic bottle. saves time and fustration with the little sachets when it is cold/wet, just open pour some out, and add hot water

mind you i still have some problems getting the right measure, they tend to be a little strong... lol

I have used drinkmaster (via evil bay) for the white coffee very good service.

 

[In Wood]

I used Drinks master where I used to work, they are not too bad at all and very handy for the trips out.
Needless to say one or two made the way into my ruck sack, but all gone now.
I had not thought of ordering these direct. Might give it a go.

Hey! group buy??

 

[Shambling Shaman]

Hey! group buy??

Mixing your own works out cheaper, But I do find them really handy and you can crush them up relay small

 

[SimonM]

I buy either these or the Nescafe equivalent these days - Coffee ready mixed with milk powder. The Kenco are creamier to taste than the Nescafe.

They also do a 3 in 1 sachet - coffee, milk powder and sugar.
