Has anyone tried these?

Do they do they do as advertised and taste reasonable?

No idea about the drink, but 200ml of coffee wouldn't be my idea of £2.50 well spent

I tried one of these 10 years ago, think it was Nescaffe that brought them out.

Complete waste of time and money. You got a small volume of hot liquid and it tasted foul. Give me a flask any day of the week!

Rubbish, its just warm instant coffee. You don't get much either.

Go buy a Starbuck instead.

Leave the drink and go for the bangers & beans.

I've tried the one with guarana in it, and it is VILE!

As said they're expensive and not great.
Can be worth the huge cost if you have no other means of having a hot cup. Like doing some big walk (but then you carry extra weight, as half the cup is the heating chemicals)
