The powder smells really delicious and one looks forward to the coffee. However, the taste of the powder in the coffee is barely visible, unless you are extremely much powder in the coffee (which you then but the piece has on the tongue). Had hoped to use the powder in hot milk for a kind Chai Latte. But I would probably use the entire can. The decisive advantage over syrup: it is no picnic included and the price is ok, considering how productive is the powder.
