Pocket Coffee



















Pocket Coffee
Ferrero

For those times when you need a caffiene hit but a to-go mug is just too much bother, consider investing in Pocket Coffee. Made by European confectioner Ferrero (see also Mon Cheri, Kinder chocolates, Rocher, Nutella, Tic Tac), Pocket Coffee is a hollow dark chocolate cube lined with a crisp sugar coating and filled with a concentrated shot of liquid espresso. Pocket Coffee is too fragile to be produced or sold during summer months, but at colder times it's generally available at convenience stores in Italy and can be ordered by the case in the US.

Interesting! I've never heard of this before. Sounds delicious (and energizing, of course)!

Oh yum, that sounds so good! And much quicker than making a cup of coffee :)

Coffee-to-go that won't spill in the car. Genius! How does it taste?

It tastes pretty darned good! As far as I can tell, there's no sugar in the espresso itself, so you get the sweetness from the sugar layer and the intensity of the coffee with none of the syrupy quality so common in coffee candies.
