I’m a coffee addict. I’ve tried hard to limit my intake of caffeine, but there are occasions where I just love a full on coffee rush.

If I’m off out walking the hills, I’ve almost certainly got a flask of coffee with me and lately that coffee has been freshly brewed rather than instant. A flask is OK for a day walk, but overnighters would mean taking a cup with a filter. While the coffee will be great, it’s a messy affair and that’s enough for me not to bother.

This is about to change, I recently received some packets of Lyons Coffee from PTC* to try out.  They work just like tea bags where all the messy bits stay in the bag and all the rich flavour permeates the water. As with normal coffee, it takes a wee while to brew, so I’ll be using an insulated cup or brew in a pot over the heat.

I’ll have to keep and eye open for these in the shops and get some more.
