Latest revision as of 11:14, 20 February 2020

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

Cold Brew 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.

Rating

4/10

Cold Brew 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.

Rating

4/10

High Brew

Black & Bold

Stats

Size: 237 mL
Price: $2.49
Cost: 95.1807 mL/$

Review

  • Moderate bitterness that you'd expect from plain black coffee.
  • Slightly above average coffee flavor.
  • Just a hint of that Starbucks-like burnt flavor.

Rating

6/10

Dark Chocolate Mocha

Stats

Size: 237 mL
Price: $2.49
Cost: 95.1807 mL/$

Review

  • Very smooth, slightly sweet.
  • Flavor is very much dark chocolate with a hint of coffee.
  • Delicious and easy to drink, but I want more coffee flavor than chocolate.

Rating

6.5/10

Double Espresso

Stats

Size: 237 mL
Price: $2.49
Cost: 95.1807 mL/$

Review

  • Mild, smooth bitterness that you'd expect from good, plain black coffee.
  • Slightly above average coffee flavor.
  • Just a hint of sweetness that completely tones down any harsh/burnt flavor.

Rating

7/10

Mocha Draft Latte

Stats

Size: 266 mL
Price: $2.68
Cost: 99.2537 mL/$

Review

  • Slightly sweet with a very foamy texture.
  • Good creaminess and apparently lactose-free.
  • Tasty; hard to find any major complaints.

Rating

6.5/10

Stats

Size: 266 mL
Price: $2.68
Cost: 99.2537 mL/$

Review

Vanilla Draft Latte

Stats

Price: $2.68
Cost: 99.2537 mL/$

Review

  • Sweet with a very foamy texture.
  • Good creaminess just like the other varieties.

Stats

Price: $1.19
Cost: 201.6807 mL/$
