UCC - Matcha Latte
Despite having 17g of added sugar, it tastes significantly less sweet than a matcha milk tea. Very strong grassy flavor.
UCC - Kona
THE coffee. Drank it for two months straight. Less milky than the original UCC coffee. I don't know what the artificial flavoring is supposed to taste like, but I do know I love it.
UCC - coffee with milk
the can is noticably heavier than all of my other cans. love the weight of it.
UCC - coffee with milk
what is this metal bottle doing here? there goes that sleek snap of cracking open the can...
Lee's - ca phe sua
strong black coffee.
matcha love energy - japanese matcha + green tea
tastes like matcha and green tea.
pokka - milk coffee gold
the only can of pokka i've had that didn't have that zero sugar taste.
pokka - cappuccino
it's got nothing going for it.
pokka - milk coffee
i've got nothing to say about it.
treehouse - monochrome
had to double-triple check that this was a can of coffee coffe and not, say, coffee stout (or some beer coffee combo). apparently, this brewery also has a coffee business. pretty strong; noticably more caffeine than any of the canned coffees i've had.
highlands coffee - ca phe sua
indistinguishable from any other canned coffee with milk.
la colombe - caramel
convinced me that caramel and coffee can go together. (i usually hate caramel in drinks. something about it is too sweet for me). my go-to coffee from 7/11.
la colombe - triple
there's nothing wrong with it.
la colombe - caramel latte
7/11 stopped stocking la colombe for a few weeks. all hope is lost, i decided. little did i know that i'd be seeing a new design for the can. folks, this is the "official coffee partner for US soccer."
la colombe - vanilla oatmilk
when my amazon order was short free shipping by a dollar, i added the cheapest can of coffee i could find. little did i know i'd receive a dozen cans of this mediocre offense to la colombe for a whopping $2.50
la colombe - vanilla
remember how i thought the vanilla oatmilk was offensive? turns out the regular vanilla is just as offensive. i regret purchasing this. maybe i don't like vanilla as much as i thought i did.
la colombe - strawberry mocha latte
heavy on the strawberry, light on the mocha, a bit sweet but otherwise okay.
la colombe - smores
holy shit. it's smokey, chocolate-y, graham-cracker-y, and exactly what you smell and taste when making smores. a+ coffee.
pop and bottle - caramel cold brew
do not purchase. i bought this because i did not read the entire lable. "caramel cold brew" would be a'ight, if not for the unacceptable addition of "lion's mane and reishi." careful about mushrooms and coffee. funnily enough, i have had a mushroom coffee before that tasted fine, but this? this was awful. i dumped half of it.
starbucks - espresso and cream
acceptable substitute for la colombe.
starbucks - pumpkin spice
this reminded me of that fucking loco churro coffee. the pumpkin spice flavors are waaaaaaaaay too strong to be enjoyable. there's also a healthy energy drink aftertaste---probably the guarana or ginseng. not a fan.
costa - signature
it's coffee. disregard.
loco coffee co - churro oat milk latte
the most disgusting coffee which has ever graced my mouth---nay, the most disgusting beverage! the churro flavor would be fine, if it was 10x less prominent.
loco coffee co - black
i would rather drink dunkin's coffee black than this. the target audience is people who have decided they want coffee without sugar, NOT for people who have thoughts about the taste of coffee.
dunkin - salted caramel
i remember nothing about this.
mr brown - iced coffee
nothing wrong with it. nothing right either.
happy - dubai chocolatey flavor
i wonder if the name comes from copyright issues...i have never understood "dubai chocolate." use the phrase in front of me and i will rant about how "dubai chocolate" is not dubai chocolate. when you're talking about regional chocolate, you're talking about chocolate with beans grown from a particular region, NOT some chocolate with particular additional flavors. if i mention vietnamese chocolate, i'm talking about a chocolate bar whose beans were sourced from vietnam. so why does dubai chocolate have to refer to chocolate with additional ingredients? "dubai chocolate" isn't chocolate; it's a fucking candy bar. i digress.
the coffee was fine; i'd love it if there were more canned coffees out there with nut or coconut flavors. i'd drink more of their coffees; there was a lot of added sugar, but the flavors weren't overwhelming.
cafe bustelo - cafe con dulce de lecce
CAFE BUSTELO HAS CANNED COFFEE NOW?!?!?!!! yeah it's what it says on the can, and it does it just fine. i will happily try more of their cans in the future.
wandering bear - cold brew
i approve of bear-themed coffee cans. it was solidly alright; it's not standout amazing cold brew, but if i wanted a can of black coffee, i'd grab it.
bones coffee company - s'mores
i love the artwork on the can. that being said the flavor was a bit disappointing. were they using a cinnamon graham cracker flavor? something about it reminded me of that fucking locco churro coffee. there was a slight smokiness to this that i appreciated, but the only thing tempting me to buy more from this brand is the can, and not what's in it.
beekeeper coffee - hot honey latte
just weird. i wouldn't buy this again. i've had a good spicy coffee before---i think this kind of beverage is better warm that it is cold. definitely an acquired taste.
assam - strawberry milk tea
for a milk tea, the texture is so thin that it seems off-kilter. is something wrong with it? the taste is fine, it's only $1, it's fine, but it alienates the drinker.
a-sha - taro milk tea
i have no idea what kuromi x katseye refers to, but the can design was cute. this had the exact consistency and flavor i'd expect from a taro milk tea. would be easier to get the tiny 'boba' pieces with a straw.
a-sha - jasmine milk tea
tasted like what i expect a thai green tea to taste like. very nice, would be tempted to buy again.
honey bee - thai tea drink
definitely thai tea.
jenji boba tea - matcha latte with coco jelly
the back says that coco jelly has less sugar than boba. yet there were still 47g of added sugar. 'twas okay, a little sweet, and i'd not buy it again.
ryl tea - peach
peach tea.
raw tea - sparkling white tea with pomegranate
what it says on the can. white tea flavor didn't come through.
flrt - guava lava
no lava, definitely guava. pretty comparable to celsius.
bing - black
slight zero sugar energy drink taste.
kuji - mandarin orange
has that depth to flavor and casual sweetness that marks it as mandarin and not orange. tastes like the sound of a low A on a clarinet.
honey bee brand - basil seed drink
it's like the flavor of a honeydew or banana milk tea, accompanied by chia seeds. deliciou. also, the can has the same weight as the UCC cans...interesting...
agua de kefir - peach pina
genuinely good. it's got the tanginess of kefir without the thick milkiness. flavor-wise, the pina part was lacking, but the peach was definitely there.
tas - mangosteen
watermelon-adjacent?
suntory - plum drink
LOVE LOVE LOVE. this was not remotely sweet---if anything, it was a bit tart and nearly bitter.
milkis - strawberry
like a thinner version of kefir. ok.
cove - cream soda
honestly not bad. only the very very very subtle zero sugar taste clues you into the fact that it's healthy.
high up X bunni konbiny - "japanese ramune sparkling water | strawberry daifuku flavor"
this can is so fucking adorable. bunnies operating a convenience store? i love it and must investigate this further in the future. tasted like that "milkis" drink.
ocean bomb - sakura cherry
tastes like what it says on the can.
ocean bomb - chiikawa (peach)
honestly the peach flavor was a bit weird. there was something artificial about it, and the sweetness was misplaced. i wasn't a fan of it.
pigeon cove ferments - spiced pear
i never drink pigeon cove because all of the flavors sound too floral or botanical for my taste. this can rocks though. it tastes like autumn. there's a bit of pear, and it is complimented by a typical apple pie spice profile. lovely.
tip top - mai tai
the lime is there; i can sense, but not taste, the flavor which rounds this out is the rum. there is nothing wrong with it. i'm glad i ignored the suggestion to have it with ice----had i not chugged it (quick way to get tipsy on an empty stomach?), i may not have drunk much of it.
taiwan beer - mango
love it. love it. love it. the perfect ratio of sweet mango-ness to beer-y bitterness. i've had their lychee variation too; solidly meh. paled in comparison to mango.
dorchester brewing co. - vietnamese iced coffee
the peak of coffee. the bitterness of hops brings out the good bitterness in the coffee, while that sweet sweet coffee is balanced out by the beer. loved it.
high noon - lime tequila
very mid; would not choose to buy this. only drank because someone gave it to me. probably the better of the high noon tequila varieties (according to my taste buds).
high noon - blood orange tequila
i don't think the "blood orange" and "tequila" flavors vibed together very much.
high noon - grapefruit tequila
so meh, so unnotable. there's nothing wrong with these, but there's nothing right either...as a solo drinker, i'd avoid these.
