Coffee is more popular today than ever before, but many people abstain1 from consuming too much of it because it can really take a toll2 on their pearly whites. Well, thanks to the world's first colorless coffee, you don't have to worry about stained teeth anymore.
 
 咖啡从未像现在这样受欢迎,但许多人不敢喝太多咖啡,因为咖啡会污染他们珍珠般洁白的牙齿。如今,你再也不用担心牙渍,因为首款无色咖啡已经面世。
 
 
After getting tired of looking for a coffee drink that had the natural flavor they loved so much but didn't stain their teeth, David and Adam Nagy, two Slovakian brothers who like strong coffee and their teeth white, decided3 to create it themselves. Called CLR CFF, their innovative4 drink is exactly what it sounds like - clear coffee, without the vowels5.
 
It sounds like a gimmick6, I know, but the Nagy brothers claim that CLR CFF is made solely7 from high-quality Arabica coffee beans and pure water, with no preservatives8, artificial flavors, sweeteners or sugars added. It apparently9 took them three months to come up with a colorless coffee that actually retains its flavors, but for now they are keeping the recipe a secret.
 
So how does colorless coffee taste? Staffers at English newspaper Metro10 described it as drinkable. "Imagine making a cup of coffee and then forgetting to wash it out," they wrote. "The next day, you add cold water to get the very last dregs of flavor out of the wet beans -- and that's what this tastes like. Water, but an aftertaste of coffee."
