FIRE Milk Coffee

My daily fix when I get to work in the morning is a can of FIRE Milk Coffee. FIRE is a local brand of canned cold coffee stored in refrigerators at the local corner shops. Some vendors even store them in heated boxes so you can have a hot FIRE too. But I would imagine the metal can be slightly uncomfortable to hold.


I can not really say what the ingredients or nutritional value of FIRE Milk Coffee is because as I mentioned before, it is a local brand. All the information printed on the can is on Chinese. But I do like the design and colors. The can does not jump off the shelf at me but rather sits back saying, “take it easy buddy. Take your time to make a choice, there’s no rush”.



I used to patronize NESCAFE Coffee before I tried FIRE, and since I made the transition I have never looked back. At almost the same price NESCAFE cans only hold 180ml of coffee whereas FIRE houses 280ml. That’s a whole 100ml more!!!



FIRE Milk Coffee in my opinion is actually milkier than the competition I have sampled. Most imported brands seem to be watered down more than the smaller local brands.


FIRE also has a very unique roasted flavor which I particularly enjoy. I can’t drink anything hot in the morning and FIRE Milk Coffee goes great with my smoke as I walk to work. At less than 40 American cents a can, how could I go wrong?

Refering to your comment at another site (for want of a better term)

"the handful of dim witted, and by-and-large Australian, bloggers"

Kinda harsh and bit general Avi.. Do you mean us guys guys at the stump?

wow, you actually do drink some alcohol free drinks!

btw, oigal, i think we need more Oz bloggers out, are you really the only oz expat blogger out there? Seriously, i'm not familiar with any others... all the other ones are brits, i think...

Hey Tree

I honestly don't know of any others (which perhaps explains the paranoid attack after Avi's comment)..and the brits are't talking to me after the cricket (ho ho). Although I do find The Public House blog funny but he ain't expat.

Dim witted...arrogant perhaps, know it all..maybe..smug ..yea oh what was yours.but dim witted Hmmpf!!

Damn tree, that hurts. I cant be havin JD for breakfast you know.

Oigal. Seriously I do not know what you are talking about. 'Dim witted' and 'by-and-large' do not sound like phrases I would use. But if it was a long time ago anything is possible. Plus I do not have anything against Aussies. Let me know where this comment is. Maybe I have an impersonator.

Amit, cold coffee is the shit. I like the starbcks frap in a bottle, but the one from the actual shop is too icy. And its too expensive for a daily fix. I have about 3 a day.

"Seriously I do not know what you are talking about." Laugh thats ok I am not sure myself most of the time..actually the comment was on Unspun and did link back here, funny however today no link?. Anyway no big deal! I was just bit surprised as "out of the norm"

Still there has been a bit of a vermin problem around the blogs of late.. time to lay some baits perhaps.

Coffee..gotta be the thick, black bali coffee for me..

have fun ...
