It wasn’t long ago when ‘instant’ was a byword for the latest in food and drink technology. Scientists spent hours trying to dehydrate things into packets with a dizzying array of additives, that could then be boiled into a tragic version of their former selves on the camp stove. But, while most instant food tastes dreadful to even the most forgiving palate, freeze-dried coffee is a bit of a hit by comparison — never perfect, but far from terrible. For your modern generation of cosmopolitan caffeine lovers, though, anything less than perfection in your coffee cup is an unconscionable crime — even if you’re halfway up a mountain. So, rambling coffee snobs will be delighted with this new portable and shatter-resistant cafetière, which includes a detachable mug with sip-it lid. Now all you need is a handheld bean-grinder and a chocolate shaker, and you’ll never have to suffer a flask of inferior coffee ever again. Hooray!
