Brilio.net - For some people, coffee is a mandatory drink for daily consumption, especially for workers. The reason is, this drink contains caffeine which is believed to make the eyes less sleepy during activities. A number of people who like drinking coffee often choose to buy ready-made at a cafe or make it themselves at home.
Making your own coffee at home is definitely cheaper than buying it at a cafe. You can use coffee powder which is widely sold on the market. For mendang-mending people, sachet coffee is definitely a mainstay, because the price is more pocket-friendly.
However, for health observers, this sachet coffee drink has never been the main choice, because the sugar content is quite high. As is known, consuming drinks high in sugar too often can be detrimental to your health. But if you still want to consume sachet coffee with minimal sugar, maybe you can try the method shared by the TikTok account @lalakkland.
Through her uploaded video, this woman admitted that she has her own way when she wants to drink sachet coffee so that there is minimal sugar. Even though it looks a bit troublesome, this method has proven to be effective in reducing the sugar content in this coffee sachet.

There are no special tools, the filter used in the video is also an ordinary filter tool. This effort is said to be able to separate coffee grounds from the excess sugar content in them.
" Which crazy person makes sachet coffee but first filters the sugar, that crazy person is me ," he wrote in the caption of the TikTok video @lalakkland, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (10/7).
