Java House dark roast Liquid Cold Brew Coffee On Tap, Espresso, 128 Fl Oz

Flavorful and great price
I quit drinking hot coffee about a year ago. I’m old. This cold brew blend, with some half and half and some vanilla syrup is perfect. I leave the tumbler in my mini fridge and take sips throughout the day for a caffeine boost.

Handy to keep in the frig
Quality product; sturdy box and spigot. Great to have a instant cup of coffee. Only complaint is it is medium roast and we prefer a dark roast, stronger coffee flavor.

Doesn’t come with external spout for side of box as pictured.
Taste: 4 StarsConvenience: 1 StarDecent tasting cold brew coffee. Not quite as good as the Monster Java cold brew that I have purchased in the individual cans but thecost on those have shot up.Decided to try this as there is less packaging cost and less waste in a single container but I have limited shelf space in my fridge and the selling point for me was the built in pour spout on the NARROW side of the box. With the narrow side facing out as shown in the picture the box can be placed on the top shelf and can be used to dispense the coffee into your mug without moving or removing the box from the fridge.The box arrived with the pour spout safely tucked inside the box which is good for protecting it during shipping especially when shipped in a bubble wrap. The frustrating thing is that not only is there no perforated circle to punch out and feed the spout through but the spout is centered 3” from the bottom and wide side of the bag instead of the side you want facing the front for easy access. The container without the box of course would haphazardly roll around the fridge shelf like a ziplock freezer bag full of water most likely falling onto the floor at some point.Without a perforated hole or even a printed circle to cut out I had to measure the widest diameter of the plastic ring with a tape measure, grab a compass to draw an appropriately sized circle but even then I had to make the opening on the wide side of the box and there is no room in my fridge to place the box on the one shelf tall enough for it with the “convenient” pour spout potentially accessible. As it is now the spout has to sit facing sideways which not only makes it inaccessible from using while sitting in the fridge but the spout is just in the way for placing anything on the shelf next to it or against the wall.So even AFTER having to manually measure, trace a cutout circle and grab a utility knife to make the pour spout accessible I still have to pick up the box, move it to a kitchen counter top somewhere that is too low for conveniently using the pour spout.Packaging Design department: You had one job to do. Make the pour spout accessible for use from the narrow front side of the box while it remains in the fridge.🙄

Columbia roast is great
I used to make my own cold brew, but when my dispenser broke, I decided to just switch to concentrates. I also got tired of dealing with all the grinds, so I wanted something premade or concentrated.I tried a couple of different cold brews available on Amazon, including the concentrate offered by Java house, in addition to several other brands’. Even when I made the cold brew according to the recommended ratio, the coffee was either watery, or had a gross taste to it. The Starbucks variety was fine, but overly expensive for what you got.Then I tried this boxed Columbia brew. It is a little more expensive than some of the concentrates, but given to you at the perfect concentration (imo, very strong even with ice. Coming from someone who drank 4 espressos a day before switching to cold brew). The taste is also WAY smoother, with a bold non-acidic flavor that can be enjoyed by itself or with milk. If you like to add a flavored creamer or syrup, it’s also smooth enough to not overpower that flavorIt’s also incredibly convenient to just put in the fridge, and it lasts a little over a week for me (I drink about 1x 28 oz bottle a day).Definitely recommend

The flavour of this is amazing and it’s so smooth(I do use a coffee creamer). Other reviews said that it went bad super fast? However mine’s been open for a week now and tastes the same as it did last week. I would purchase again for the flavour, but not for the price. Only real issue I have is that the spigot on the bag is sideways, so the box needs to sit horizontally in my fridge, taking up a lot of space, and I don’t know how easy it’ll pour when it gets low. I tried turning it but I’m worried I’ll accidentally rip it out if I try too hard. Not sure if this was intentional or a mishap during production.

I have a small addiction to starbucks, and would literally spend my entire paycheck there if I could. I have since bought this, and let me tell you this is so much better than starbucks coffee.it tastes absolutely amazing, and topped with some liquid sugar (some flavoured and some not) my wallet no longer cries when I wake up in the morning. Would seriously recommend this to anyone.10/10 the best i’ve ever had
