I've tried the Go cubes. I wouldn't really think of them as a replacement for a nice cup of coffee. They're more "I need this caffeinated burst and I don't want to deal with going to a coffee shop or grinding/brewing/etc". More like a way to get effects of coffee or an energy drink without coffee.

It's sort of like how Soylent Coffiest is a coffee alternative with other things that reduce the downsides of coffee, but it's "meta coffee", not exactly coffee.

By the way, another alternative to preparing your own coffee by hand that's good is Sudden Coffee. It's an instant coffee that's like a freeze dried pour over.
