When you’re rushing out the door in the morning and you don’t even have time to fix that cup of coffee, now you have an alternative option that won’t slow you down: Coffee Bites from Café Joe.

With two coffee bites per package, these little pick-me-ups offer a punch of espresso with a hint of chocolate that eats like a malted milk ball. It’s really an ingenious idea, and two of these coffee bites give you a single cup of coffee without any mess or spills. Perhaps a little pricey at $24.99 for a box of 10 individual packages ($2.49 per cup of coffee), if you consider how much it costs when you go through the Starbucks drive-thru on your way to work, the price isn’t that bad.

These freeze-dried coffee bites are just fun, and I’m thinking they could turn into a morning routine for me. The faster I get my coffee down, the faster I get to my workout. It seems like a sizable win here. Also, they won’t stain your teeth like a traditional cup of coffee, so that’s an even bigger win.

Two coffee bites give you 2 grams of carbs, so they are sweetened little gems. They also provide you with 25mg of caffeine. A typical espresso shot gives you a little more than 60mg of caffeine, with a regular cup of coffee coming in around 12 to 16mg. So they eat like espresso (they are strong), but they give you the caffeination of a regular cup of coffee.

“Cafe Joe is Israel's leading coffee chain with over 250 branches and points of sales across the country.” And after 20 years of being in operation, they expanded into the US in 2018. Be sure to visit the Café Joe website and learn more about the coffee bites, but also explore their other products. Be sure to tell them IMBHO sent you their way!

Enjoy your Cup of Joe!
