krisb Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I stirred my morning 3 in 1 for over a minute thinking that's got all the lumpy bits, I can't see them anymore. Wrong, still heaps of them. It's gotta be the powdered milk? How do you get rid of them all or is it not possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Crossy Posted January 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2015 Place boiling water in cup. Sprinkle mixture into cup whilst stirring. Not really Travel, General, Pub or Food? Moving to General as it's too early in the morning for complex decisions 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redandyellow Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Not to be a smart ass, but I don't drink coffee, however, to add something of potential minute value, know there is now 1. cholesterol-free skim milk in British Columbia, so if they can do it here... it will be in LOS sooner or later...same with 2. unsweetened yogurt, and 3. ***protein powder, with no added sugar or cholesterol.. ***reminder to self to bring 3 kilos next trip to Phuket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bkkjames Posted January 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2015 Personally 3-1 should not be classified as coffee. Look closely at the ingredients, 55% sugar is it? Rediculous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would usually have 1 sugar in my coffee anyway so 55% sugar is not much more than 1 tea spoon of sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooked Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 part of http://www.mmtimes.com/index.php/lifestyle/9391-coffee-benefits-may-not-extend-to-3-in-1.html : Nevertheless, it does appear that coffee is good for you. Unfortunately the additional ingredients in 3-in-1 are certainly not beneficial and may be harmful. As with many of the public health challenges we face in Myanmar, a strong regulatory agency and consumer awareness will be important in allowing people to safely realise the benefits of coffee. I might force this muck down my throat if accompanied by a whiskey. With unnecessarily luxurious coffee grinders at ฿3800.- it's not surprising that few Thais know anything about decent coffee let alone sell it. You can walk past aisles of 'coffee' in BigC or Macro and find nothing that I would describe as coffee. Arabica is also difficult to find, ground or not. i have to travel 2 hours to find a place that sells coffee beans that are usable. Ok, rant over, peace and love..

Swiss1960 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 ... drink coffee? Second biggest commodity in the world. lot of people (obviously including cooked and me..) would not qualify 3-in-1 to be coffee... for me, the only thing I call coffee is Nespresso... expensive but my #1. but for 3-in-1 in emergency cases - the secret of not having lumpy bits is hot water. What I do is wait for it to be boiling, switch off the kettle and once the bubbling stopped, I immediately pour it over the powder and never experience lumps.

Fiddlesticks Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I've used 3 in 1 oil for years and never once saw lumps in it. Why you would want to drink it is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsensam Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 there is far too much sugar in that stuff so it should really be avoided, but if you want to drink it then put the powder in the cup, 1/3 fill and stir, slowly add more water stirring as you add. no lumps. cut down sugar, salt and saturated fat...

alantheembalmer Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Here's a top tip: Just sloosh it around your mouth, like mouth-wash, and when you spit it back into the cup you will find that the lumps have disappeared. If you find you just can't bring yourself to do this, ask the wife to do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 While the kettle is waiting to reach boiling point, about half way through pour 1/2 inch of hot water into the cup, and stir in the powder, then when boiled add the rest and continue to stir...all gone , no lumps.

I hate the smell of coffee, so I have never drank it, same goes for alcohol, that's why I'm a lifelong teetotaler, besides, I thought 3 in 1 was hot chocolate.

DP25 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I put it in a water bottle full of cold water and shake the *%&$ out of it. It gets rid of all the lumps and I can get my quick dose of caffeine and be on my way. I'm not gonna bother boiling water unless it is for real coffee. 3 in 1 is purely for getting caffeine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulchiangmai Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Been drinking three in one for years, much prefer it, just checked sugar content 18%, I drink the low sugar variety. Heat water in microwave and then add the three in one, never ever seen lumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
