I am an avid coffee drinker. I never read the directions; I dump a full scoop of CacoaLatte in my cup and fill it with seven ounces of smoking hot coffee from our super fancy coffee machine at work (we use premium beans).
WOW, that makes for a great afternoon, HELLO!
I typically take calls after or zoon through the meeting feeling great without feeling overly tweaked by the coffee jolt. I also enjoy the natural flavor because I can't stand artificial sweeteners in anything.
Dump in the cup, add 7 oz of premium Joe, and life gets GOOD!
