    I always get them, I reckon they're better than the famous equivalent The empty plastic jars also make good spare change piggy banks.

    Just tried one, rather sweeter than I am used too but pretty good. Won't object to the extra sugar when out and about.

    Ordered mine yesterday, around midday, and it arrived this morning

    Good buy bud

    I bought the kettle second hand from Shewie just before Xmas to go with my caldera cone stove. Came with pot cosy as well so was a nice bonus. May get the cup now to complete the set

    One thing I will mention though that the spoon you have looks a lot like one I had a while back but mine was dark green. If its anything like the quality of mine its bloody useless and you will end up throwing it away. Mine always seems to unclip and fold up while in use. I ended up getting one of these instead, much better and they're available in titanium as well

    They do a couple of different types, the one in the darker pack is better, still quite sweet, but a stronger brew.

    Pray not for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.

    I have an Alpkit TiFoon on order, and I use several other folding sporks and fixed sporks in stainless too. Cutlery is not usually an issue
    Thanks for the tip though buddy. Sounds like you got a good buy too

    I wimped out on those ones as I like a mellow brew but I think a quick visit is in order to pick up a pack to try. Cheers Bob

    I prefer the stronger stuff too they do a 2 in one that comes in a red packet if memory serves and that has a nice caffeine hit
