This company is a complete joke. No roast date and the beans thrown in a plastic bag loosely closed with a plastic bread bag tie. No reputable coffee company who cares about their product with package their merchandise like this. I have ended up with two bags of this stuff and both got returned to the store due to absolutely no freshness and foul and harsh bitter taste. If you want bad coffee, just buy folgers, at least it's semi drinkable part of the time.

This is not coffee. No roast date whatsoever and the coffee beans thrown in a plastic bag loosely closed with a plastic bread bag tie. If you want cheap garbage coffee that's at least drinkable, you're better off with Folgers.

@@gothafloxacin I searched for "Barissimo high voltage coffee" and Google provided a "people also ask": "How much caffeine is in Barissimo high voltage coffee?" to which Google provided the answer "Our coffee has been tested by the DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND SCIENCE | NATIONAL MEASURE INSTITUTE AUSTRALIA, and contains 1150mg of caffeine per cup (please note this amount can slightly vary depending on your brewing methods) this makes our coffee the strongest coffee currently in Australia." Upon further research high voltage coffee is a widely used phrase and so perhaps the Australian company, High Voltage Coffee Company, is not the origin of Aldi's version despite what Google states. I just bought 4 12oz bags. Be nice to know the voltage.

“Smooth, no bitterness” 🤣. This stuff is toxic sludge. It’s the worst cold brew available by a large margin. Awful. “If large brands don’t make good cold brew nobody would buy it.” With America’s caffeine addiction will fuel the sales. This is truly awful.

I realize this video is 2 years old, but I just tried this cold brew. Ive tried several bottled cold brews and I never like them. They always have a weird flavor to them that I dont get ina fresh cold brew. I can only assume that its a preservative, but this is the first bottled cold brew that I really dont taste that preservative flavor. Now I can save $30 a week by not going to Starbucks.
@upforadrink Жыл бұрын
I find that off flavor mostly in the "shelf stable" cold brews. Another "off" flavor in cold brew, for me, is African beans. They taste good hot brewed, but the lightness of the flavor comes across a bit sour to me too. Have you tried Stok cold brew? I like those ones too. Cheers.
