La ColombeCoffee Roasters Draft Latte Triple (Case of 12)

I first fell in love with la colombe’s mocha flavored latte a few years ago but they changed the recipe (tastes wayyy too sweet & watered down now) so I decided to give this flavor a try. It’s seriously the best bottled/iced coffee I’ve ever had. Not overly sweet, extremely smooth, & has a nice texture. I bought the 12 pack since it’s a better deal. They’re a little over $2 a can which is much cheaper than buying coffee daily. I drink one every single morning at work & will definitely be ordering more. My *only* complaint is that the cans are a bit small lol. I wish they were at least 12 ounces!! :)

EDIT: I stand by my review of the Triple Draft Latte originally purchased on Amazon, but I bought another 12-pack directly from La Colombe and it no longer says "Draft" on the can. I noticed right away that it wasn't frothy like the draft version and now you can't find a nitrous-infused triple latte being sold. Even the photo of the product on Amazon no longer says draft. The newer version only gets three stars. It just doesn't hit the same.I generally don't buy these products, but the La Colombe Triple Draft Latte popped up as a Treasure Truck deal. I am a die hard no sugar in my coffee gal and even though this is slightly sweetened, it isn't overly sweet. This foamy and creamy drink poured over ice tastes just like a treat from a coffee shop. I think that I might be hooked.

... but the packaging lost its' "cool factor" when La Colombe discontinued the color-coded lip guards on the cans.I read that many of the product's fans had communicated their disappointment to La Colombe. I was among the many. I never received a response. Crickets.The CEO addressed the matter in an interview. I read his remarks several times. The only reasonable conclusion is the lip guard was eliminated to reduce costs. I haven't noticed the cost saving reflected in any retail price reduction.Companies work hard and invest to achieve distinctivepackaging. LA Colombe had a great example of such packaging. They voluntarily surrendered the primary feature of their distinctive product presentation.La Colombe is still my favorite cold brew coffee beverage... the flavors are delicious and the textures are just about perfect. The remarkable consistency never varies. The product is never bitter and never too sweet. It's just the best cold brew for my taste.Every time I open a can I'm reminded of how much I miss the plastic lip guard. Each time I see La Colombe in retail stores' refrigerated cases I'm reminded of how easy it was to identify the products by quickly selecting the bright color of each can's lip guard. The colorful lip guards truly stood out in crowded cold beverage displays.My four stars would immediately become five stars if La Colombe restored the distinctive lip guard on the can.Until then, it has to be capped at four stars.

I purchased these drinks after receiving a notification for it through Treasure Trunk. I figured the cost was decent per a can, but really didn’t know. (actually saw in Whole Food today and realized this was a great value). I placed them in the refrigerator to grab and drink on my ride to work. I wasn’t expecting much, but the drinks have a good flavor and is just enough to get my morning kick. Now the morning kick part could have all been in my head, but I definitely found myself more alert. I shared one with a friend, she said it did nothing for her alertness. I’m going to believe it was the drink; lol! I will probably buy again!

3 shots & a creamy flavor— just a little sweetness, maybe sweet cream. I like it. AND this mixture disappears from the shelf fast.
