Control
your caffeine.
Here
at Test Pit Towers we love our coffee (and y'know, building stuff out
of LEGO and flying things around with cameras attached to them), so
we were interested to try out TrueStart Coffee. Coffee is
increasingly being used by athletes, and those in training for
sporting challenges, to boost performance and help muscles heal. The
trouble is that most coffee you buy in a supermarket has rather
unpredictable amounts of caffeine in it, so True Start is here to
tell you exactly how much of the 'wakey-wakey' stuff you're getting.
Put the kettle on, will ya?
TrueStart
comes as instant coffee granules which dissolve into hot water... but
don't let that put you off. Although we're big advocates of 'real'
coffee, TrueStart was actually the nicest instant coffee we've ever
tasted, thanks to the source beans being very good ( Colombian
Arabica) and because TrueStart freeze dry them, as opposed to spray
drying, a process which most other instant coffee will have been
through. This produces a good-looking cup of Joe with a rich yet mild
flavour.
But
what's all the jazz about the caffeine content? Well, with TrueStart
you know exactly how much caffeine you're taking in, which helps when
planning a work out or competing a in an event. It contains 95mg of
caffeine per scoop (give or take 20mg so it says), which is a hell of
a lot more accurate than other coffee.
This
means you can better tailor your caffeine consumption to your needs,
rising or lowering it depending on what you want. Also, because it
comes in an instant form, its easier to make while you're out and
about, as all you need is hot water and a spoon. For athletes this is
great, but also for fans of instant coffee too – at least this way
you'll know just how jittery you're going to get each morning.
