I’ve just discovered two interesting products I wanted to share. I haven’t tried either one. Caribou Coffee Snack Bars This is basically a granola bar that is dipped in coffee. They sell it in two flavors: Vanilla Latte and Chocolate Mocha. More info on the Caribou Coffee web site. Java Juice Extract Just add water… coffee extract. I think this is a neat idea for camping trips, or those times when you don’t have the equipment to prepare coffee. If I was climbing Mt. Everest, I would take these.

larry I dunno, if I was climbing Mt. Everest I probably would crush a handful of beans on a rock with my hiking boot, boil some water and filter it thru a bandana. But that’s just me. 0 Reply October 5, 2006
Jason I saw those Caribou Coffee Bars at the store the other day and almost grabbed a box….decided to wait though. Have you tried them? I will be posting a review of the Java Juice Extract in the next week or so…very cool product. ..be bold 0 Reply October 5, 2006
Chris Tingom I haven’t tried the coffee bars. I would though if they sent me a box (haha, like that’s going to happen). I don’t think they’d sell them in Phoenix because we don’t even have Caribou Coffee stores here. Larry – would you have a clean bandana or a sweaty one? Just checking. 0 Reply October 5, 2006
larry The Java Juice is a pretty neat idea, it was developed by the crew over at Groundworks Coffee in SoCal. I’ve had the chance to try it, it’s not bad for what it is. Pretty much a Toddy like flavor and my hunch is it’s a Toddy like process used to produce it. The nitrogen flush packaging is what allows it to be shelf stable for a year. A clean bandana would be optimum. 0 Reply October 5, 2006
Jason Haeger I see Carabou Coffee bars here in Lubbock, and there isn’t a Caribous retail store in site for a couple thousand miles. I haven’t tried it, but my roommate has bought a box. I’ll ask. In regards to the mount everest thing, I think I’d rather use a hammer/claw and a recessed frozen surface to crush the beans, and a clean sock to do a full-submersion brewing into the boiling water (water boils at 170F on Mt. Everest) for better contact time. 0 Reply October 5, 2006
Jason Haeger Second thought, here.. The Java Juice sounds a lot like what you’d get out of an Aeropress too. 0 Reply October 5, 2006
Chris Tingom There’s a Starbucks opening next week at the summit. Sorry to burst your bubble. 😉 0 Reply October 5, 2006
john Caribou Coffee Vanilla Latte Granola Bars are available in 6 bar box at Target, 43rd and Peoria. They’re sale priced @$2 or so, about 35 cents/bar. They beat the heck out of anything from the vending machines at my office and less than half the price. Good snacking 🙂 0 Reply October 17, 2006
chris mills Looking in my area for coffee bars. Very much in demand I’m told by our soldiers in Iraq. Apparently handy at remote outposts. Caffeine helps them stay awake on watch.. Who sells them in my area of Virginia?(Chesapeake Bay/Tidewater) 0 Reply November 3, 2006
