While Shopping At An Aldi's Over The Weekend I Noticed A Coffee Flavored Water In Cans Being Sold...

Isn't coffee - a coffee flavored water?

1. Reminds me

Of those bottles that are selling 36 for $36.00. No calories, no sugar,etc! What are they?

Of course Starbucks every morning 6 or$7. I bought a can of MH cafe for $3.97 or Hazel Nut,4.99 a Lb. That is high compared to a year ago.

6. Starbucks burns their beans

That's why it tastes so awful.

I think the last time I got Starbucks was only because I was taking a college class. When I arrived on campus, the weather was sunny and 68-70 degrees, supposed to get up to 75. While I was in class and then doing homework in the library, the weather had gone psycho--damp, cloudy and 36. And there I was with my cotton top and shorts. I grabbed a Starbucks downstairs on my way to the car, for the warmth factor.

I never could get the flavor drinkable, but held onto it as a hand warmer. Threw it away in the trash can closest to my car.

Haven't been back since.

8. I had one at the airport.

This guy was in the breakfast line in Dayton.

7. Oh--and I'm guilty of spending too much money on water

I'm super-sensitive to flavors, though, even in water. Tap locally isn't very good, even filtered, and some of the cheaper waters are downright awful. Dasani, in particular, tastes salty and swampy. Makes me gag. I'd rather drink the local supermarket store brand than that swill.

I'll pay the premium for Evian or Fiji if I need water when I'm out and about, but don't know if I can trust the store brand. Evian and Fiji don't have gag-inducing flavors to them, so at least they don't go to waste when I get them.

2. Coffee-flavored water sounds like

Coffee-flavored water sounds like what you get if you brew a second pot using the same used coffee grounds.

9. LOL

Like we used to do when money was tight. Add a spoonful of fresh grounds.

3. Exactly. Good point.

4. Yes! Good catch.

Real coffee is actually good for you, too, as long as you don't put unhealthy creamers and sweeteners into it.

5. Sheesh

Why bother? Just drink the real thing.

10. I've had water flavored coffee a few times.

Yech.
