Instant coffee

One of many new discoveries: although real coffee originated hereabouts, Jordan (like Mexico) drinks hella instant coffee. The intensely sweet and creamy Nescafe "My Cup" packets have been a staple of training, but when you really want an immediate jolt of freeze-dried caffeine may I suggest Jordan's own "Coffee Break" brand.

The label promises "100% Pure Agglo Instant Coffee." I have no idea what that means, but rest assured that a couple spoonfuls of this stuff (along with the requisite teaspoon of sugar per cup) packs double espresso levels of cognitive stimulus power. When you want that instant agglo feeling, accept no substitutes.
