Cold Coffee Reviews

I like cold coffee and decided to keep track of which brands I preferred and why.
To be clear - these are coffee drinks, not coffee-flavored energy drinks (Java Monster, etc).

Hiball

Black Unsweetened

Stats

Size: 325 mL
Price: $2.50
Cost: 130 mL/$

Review

• Bitter, but not awful.
• Very average, inoffensive, plain black coffee.
• Reminds me of Sunday lunchtime church-lady coffee. The kind served out of those large chrome urns at public gatherings.

Vanilla

Stats

Size: 325 mL
Price: $2.50
Cost: 130 mL/$

Review

• Sweet, but not syrupy.
• Has a strong vanilla flavor.
• There's a creamy quality to it, even though it's dairy-free.
• Not bad by any means, but similar to the Hiball Black variety, it's pretty lackluster.
