- Does it taste like regular instant coffee?
- It has a smooth medium-roast base with a lightly sweet finish. The electrolytes and sweetener make it sweeter and thinner than plain black instant coffee.
- How much caffeine is in each packet?
- Each stick delivers a moderate coffee dose similar to a standard cup of instant coffee. Treat it as a normal cup, not an energy shot.
- Can I drink it cold?
- Yes. The powder dissolves in cold water, so it works as an iced coffee. Stir or shake well, since cold water takes longer to dissolve it.
- Is it a replacement for a sports drink?
- No. It adds some sodium, potassium and magnesium, but the amounts are modest. For heavy sweating or long workouts, a dedicated electrolyte drink provides more.
- Is it gluten free?
- Yes, VitaCup lists it as gluten free. Check the packet if you have other dietary restrictions.
- How many servings are in a box?
- A box holds 18 single-serve sticks, one cup each.
- Where is the VitaCup Hydration Instant Coffee & Electrolytes Medium Roast cheapest?
- At Thrive Market, for $32.95, as of our latest check.
