So give me (inhalable) coffee and TV
A little while back I wrote about the joys of the e-cigarette and now, you’ll be delighted to know, I’ve found the ideal accompaniment to it. It’s Le Whif inhalable coffee.
Inhalable coffee is perfect for the busy person who doesn’t have time for a coffee break or who is just plain tired of having to repeatedly lift those damn cups to their mouth and swallow pesky liquid. No, with the Le Whif, you just raise the convenient pocket sized aerosol spray to your nose once and take a sniff.
And with one quick hit containing as much caffeine as an espresso, inhalable coffee is also a handy reminder that you’re a lazy, joyless sod with an addiction problem.

As a fully qualified tea drinker this would do me fine!!! I do love the smell of coffee though, only I find the drinking of the stuff leave me feeling a little, um, thirsty?! I hate that feel in your mouth after you’ve drunk one. After a tea I feel refreshed. Perhaps I could have this thing blasting out whilst I have one of my 8-10 cups of tea a day?
I’ll let Dan know by the way (where the hell is that bloke these days anyway??!) he’s loves a gadget, and is the only person I know who actually bought the e-snout!

“Le Whiff”??? Aw god that’s brilliant.

mmm, Piley, does your enthusiasm mean that I’ve offended you by inadvertently referring to you as a joyless sod?! I’m withholding the comment about being an addict though – 8-10 cups a day!! It sounds like you need the inhalable tea if ever you’re caught short (as it were). And yes, where is Dan? I have a mental image of him now with an e-ciggie in one hand a coffee inhaler in the other…
Yes, ISBW, and only available in Paris and New York it seems too. I’m offended.

No, you’d have to try much harder than that to offend me Cocktails!! Is 8-10 cups a day a lot?? At least tea is good for you (erm, sorta… if it were green tea maybe).
I saw the eternally dissapointed one only today, and said he should hotfoot it over here ASAP, as i’d had a ‘pop’ at him! I love that image of him by the way!!

Did somebody mention my name? I’ve been ‘on sabbatical’ for a while. (That’s code for ‘writers block’.)
Now, I’m going to play Devil’s Advocate here (for a change) and say that this coffee inhaler is quite a good idea!
I’m an affirmed coffee drinker who, on waking in the morning, will remove gourmet coffee beans from the freezer, grind them and have a full two cups of freshly brewed java before I can even consider performing my daily ablutions.
However, once at work, this all changes. The routine of buying milk, writing your name on it in marker pen, then putting it in the communal fridge is something that irritates me. Additionally, I’m not a massive fan of instant coffee, so drinking coffee at work is something I just don’t get to do.
Imagine, however, at the press of an aerosol, being able to get a tantalising waft of fresh coffee up the old hooter and a blast of precious caffeine at the same time! This is a genius idea!
Or, alternatively, it could all be a massive, tragic waste of time. The jury is out, I think.

Well, it’s nice to see you again Dan, writers block or not, but what the heck are you saying??!! That the scent of fake coffee from a tin canister is a viable substitute for the real thing? No, no, no, no. You’re taking the ritual out of it, all the joy of the preparation which you describe so well yourself. And it’s not just the hit or the smell it’s the, you know, the whole drinking thing!!
Genius idea?! It’s a terrible, terrible misuse of science to ruin one of the best and most simple things in the world (even if it does make your life at work a bit easier)

I was just sitting here listening to music and thinking about the coffee aerosol, as is my want, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck me…
Bacon in a can.
A small aerosol, suitable for handbag or pocket, which at the touch of a button fills your nostrils with the aroma of frying bacon.
I dare you to tell me that’s a bad idea.

I’m going to tell you it’s a bad idea. Unless of course you work for the secret service and are looking for new, innovative methods of torture.

You mean ‘expresso’, right? Only, it’s been so long since I’ve heard anyone call it ‘espresso’, that I’m beginning to think I, and the nation of Italy have been wrong all along……

The proper Italian name is Espresso. It’s known as Expresso in some latin countries. Indeed, I regularly get quite annoyed when people say ‘Expresso’ – but that probably has more to do with some rather serious anger-management issues that I really should get sorted out… :o)

I feel as though I narrowly avoided getting on your wrong side there Dan!
