Le Whif Lets You Inhale Your Coffee

CoffeeGeek — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:18:44 +0000

Bored with the delicious flavor and mouth watering aroma of your morning cup of coffee? Me either, but for those who are tired of carrying around those heavy cups or mugs, now you can get your flavor and caffeine boost by “whiffing” your coffee. A new product called Le Whif will launch March 10th and 11th in New York City at Dylan’s Coffee Bar and in Cambridge, Massachusetts at Cardullo’s.

Le Whif was invented by Harvard Professor David Edwards of the ArtScience Labs in Paris. Chocolate was the first product to be whiffed, with the release of the product in April of 2009, the benefit is being able to enjoy the flavor of chocolate with less than one calorie.

Le Whif looks similar to a lipstick tube and is inhaled or “whiffed” in through the mouth. The particles pass through small holes and land in the sides of the mouth and tongue. The size of the particle, larger than ten microns and design of the device causes the particles to drop out of the air and keeps the product from entering your lungs.

According to the company’s website people have “whiffed” over 40,000 times since the product’s introduction into the market. It seems that due to press coverage and store launches there has been heavy demand for Le Whif causing some production issues.
