Try as you might, there will come a point on a long road trip where the only coffee available to you is watery petrol station coffee. You could buy an energy drink, or you could mix in a hot chocolate packet for something that actually tastes okay.

Will it transform crappy coffee into a third wave latte? No. But it will turn your coffee-scented water into caffeinated, coffee-scented hot chocolate, which is much more palatable. Plus, you can pack your favourite packs of cocoa, giving you just a little more control over the taste of your very necessary caffeine.

You forgot to edit all the Americianisms out of the story. “Gas station”? Really?
Servos here have Espresso, not rancid 2 day old simmering brown water.
not to say they’re great, but in my experience, the Shell/Coles Express coffee is the best of the lot, and happens to be the cheapest too and $0.80
Try making the hot chocolate with cappucino at Shell Express.
