THE SHORT VERSION
Your next cup, in three decisions.
- Choose your method. A cold bottle can get you started. A frother or whisk gives you another way to mix powder and water.
- Choose a realistic quantity. Pack size only becomes value if you use it. Work backwards from how often you make a cup.
- Compare your actual dose. A bigger tin or a lower price per gram may still cost more per cup if you use more powder.
These are editorial decision guides, not product rankings. Preparation and storage advice is linked to the relevant producer inside each guide.
