Hammer Gel Hammer Perpetuem Cafe Latte 32 Serving

This is a great product, thought not as good as some of the other flavors. I only ordered it on here instead of through Hammer directly because of the free overnight shipping with Prime. You can't go wrong with anything from Hammer Nutrition.

I use this to stay fueled up on long gravel rides. Gives me the calories to get through them and tastes pretty good.

Sometimes it's worth sacrificing a water bottle to have a slow and steady food supply just a sip away. It's easy to digest and although I like the tablet versions of Perpetuem, too, you can customize the strength of your mix with Perpetuem powder. Two scoops in a water bottle (I use a 24 oz. one) is the recommended serving (270 calories), but I have used as many as three and like the consistency and the taste of the Cafe Latte. Standard serving delivers 54 grams of total carbohydrate, 7 grams protein, 210 milligrams of sodium, 25 milligrams of caffeine, and other useful elements. I like the plastic container, but was considering the soft packaging for travel until someone warned me that he had difficulty sealing the top. In any case, I love the product.

So far, so good. I tried several of the single serve packs before taking the splurge on the big quantity, which I highly recommend doing. I really like the taste, even concentrated. I've gotten up to a four hour bottle and had zero stomach issues and still liked the taste. I do make sure I clean my water bottle crazy good just as soon as I possibly can. Drinking my carbs has made a huge difference in my on-ride nutrition, and having the slow, steady intake of caffeine also keeps me going.Just as an fyi, the picture shows a resealable bag, but it actually came in a large jug with screw top lid. Storage in my Manhattan kitchen is at a premium so that was kind of a bummer, but it's fine.

I've been using Perpetuem for a few years and it is my go-to for multi-hour runs and MTB rides. Cafe Latte is our fav flavor. I wish it came in a no caffeine version as I'm not really suppose to have that. Luckily it is a relatively small does and I can tolerate it over a long time. For marathon training I take a small bottle of Cafe Latte and another w plain water. I alternate with a drink of one or the other at each mile. It works great for retaining energy and hydrating at the same time. With this system I can go out for 10-14 miles without gels.

Functional but slightly heavy tasting compared to the citrus ones.

I have been through a bunch of drinks. This is the best on the market right now. Taste is not overwhleming, which I like, and it does not spike me at all.After mixing the drink it will spoil after a few hours so I keep dry powder with me to mix more on the bike. it spoils because it does not use artificial ingredients. I want something that is going ino my body to be an organic material, which means it will spoil at some point.

I use Perpetuem for long cycling events and adventure races. Works well as a high concentration gel and when mixed with water. Gives me some of the nutrition I need in events longer than 2 hours.
