I have, somehow, become the semi-official coffee taster here at JSFR Labratories &#8211; not that I mind!  I like the occasional cuppa (or in this case canna) Joe, and I don&#8217;t mind lending my tastebuds and typing to a good cause.<\/p>\n<p>And Pokka coffee is a very good little cause.  I&#8217;ll start with the packaging.<\/p>\n<p>The can is fairly small.  It could hide easily behind the spine of a paperback copy of George R R Martin&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Game-Thrones-Song-Fire-Book\/dp\/0553588486\/sr=8-3\/qid=1171817760\/ref=pd_bbs_3\/104-8718894-1822355?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books\" target=\"_blank\">Game of Thrones<\/a>.  More reasonably sized books would have to be turned sideways.  Opening the can is a cinch.  It doesn&#8217;t suffer from the tightly vacuum crimped top of <a href=\"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/?p=318\" target=\"_blank\">Hello Boss<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It has a good coffee flavor without any burnt over-roast or nasty chemical bite to it.  The texture is smooth and milky without being cloying, and it lingers nicely without having any strange aftertastes.  Overall, a very satisfying little drink.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s where we run into the point deductions.  This stuff was good.  DARN good.  Flavor-wise, it&#8217;d give Hello Boss a run for its money.  Unfortunately, the serving size is pretty small.  The tiny cans are cute, but they just don&#8217;t hold much.  As a result, I&#8217;m going to have to give Pokka coffee a <a href=\"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/?page_id=2\" target=\"_blank\">rating<\/a> of <b>4.5 Wasabi Peas<\/b> out of 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,17,15,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-45-peas","category-beverage","category-coffee","category-sweet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
