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: $x Cost per mL: $/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: $x Cost per mL: $/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.
Mr. Brown
Iced Coffee (Original)

Review
- Mildly sweet and slightly syrupy.
- Pretty much exactly what you'd expect it to taste like.

- Has that distinct Starbucks bitter/burnt flavor, not sweet at all.
- Not much else to say.
