Clear Coffee That Won't Stain Your Teeth Is Now On Sale In The UK

This changes everything.
|

If you love starting the day with a coffee but worry about the impact it’s having on your teeth, we’ve found the perfect product for you.

Two London-based entrepreneurs have created “the first colourless coffee drink in the world” to give us a caffeine hit, without the fear of teeth stains.

CLR CFF is the brainchild of brothers David and Adam Nagy and is now available to order online or purchase in stores.

The brothers are keeping the production process close to their chests, but on their website, they explain the beverage is made from “high quality Arabica coffee beans and pure water”.

“It is produced by methods which have never been used before,” they say.

“Due to this combination of technology and high quality ingredients a drink has been developed which is unique in taste and flavour.

“Our product does not contain preservatives, artificial flavours, stabilisers, sugar or any other sweeteners.”

Each bottle contains 50mg caffeine per 100 ml, or 100mg caffeine per recommended 200ml serving.

According to the NHS, this is equal to a standard mug of instant coffee, which usually contains 100mg caffeine. 

You can purchase a two-pack of the drink online at £5.99 or pick up a bottle in Whole Foods or Selfridges now. 

Iced Coffee Around The World
Frappe, Greece(01 of08)

Greece proves that there is a time and a place for instant coffee, and that it can in fact be absolutely delicious. The Greek frappe is traditionally made with instant coffee, water and milk, shaken and served over ice with sugar to taste. It's the perfect answer to sultry afternoons.

Aisu Kōhī, Japan(02 of08)

To make Japanese iced coffee, the coffee is brewed directly onto ice which means you can get it from cup to mouth even faster because there's no need to cool it first. Not only is this super efficient, it also creates a complex flavor that can't be achieved with cold brew.

Oliang, Thailand(03 of08)

Traditional Thai iced coffee is brewed with soybeans, sesame and corn. That's what gives it a special kick. (Though you'll commonly see it just brewed with cardamom, too.) It's served over iced with sweetened condensed milk -- another nice touch -- or evaporated milk with simple syrup. It basically tastes like heaven.

Ca Phe Da, Vietnam(04 of08)

Vietnamese iced coffee is famous for its use of sweetened condensed milk, but that's not the only thing that makes it so memorable. Just like with Oliang from Thailand, Vietnamese coffee is interesting right from the start with the brewing process. Sometimes it is brewed with chicory and other times it's a mixture of Arabica and Robusta beans, which are notably harsh but blend well with the sweetness of the condensed milk.

This is not your every day iced coffee. Brazil's take on this beverage is... unique. There is coffee in it. And chocolate, lots of chocolate. But there's also cola -- which means double the caffeine -- served over ice with whipped cream.

Affogato, Italy(07 of08)

This isn't exactly an iced coffee, but it is a beautiful, strong shot of espresso served on top of a scoop of vanilla ice cream. That's good enough for us. (And, ahem, that's Italian espresso and Italian ice cream, so... )

Eiskaffee, Germany(08 of08)

Italy might have the affogato, but Germany has the Eiskaffee. And if ordered at the right place, that eiskaffee will come in a tall glass full of strong, cold German coffee with a scoop of ice cream, grated chocolate, whipped cream AND a fancy wafer cookie. If you're really lucky, you get a party streamer too.
