Testing And Ranking Every Canned Coffee (so that HOPEFULLY you don’t have to)

[@MiggyManMike]

I came here to chew grass and drink snickers and I'm all out of snickers.

[@hopegold883]

I just love the contrast of Morgan after taking in a huge quantity of caffeine and Graham strolling in and out.

[@vis-glitch]

Seeing this pinned comment before watching the video was quite confusing.

[@bluenfee]

This is the perfect lead into a Japanese vending machine canned coffee future arc.

[@Lostboy811]

Hot canned coffee 😊

[@CephBacon]

The first time I tried Boss rainbow mountain was so disappointing :(

[@TwistedTc]

@@CephBacon I've had that and Georgia emerald mountain.

[@CephBacon]

@@TwistedTc the Georgia ones are the best brand imo

[@billyeveryteen7328]

Yeah, I was expecting the video to include either Boss or UCC canned coffees.

[@BBKing1977]

With the various changes in this channel over the years, the persistence of the opening slide gives me great comfort!

[@roberthenrypoet]

The slide is this channel's perfect intro. 😂😂😂

[@8stringmonkey]

Im glad you mentioned the ones with alternative sweetners. As a diabetic my options are slim. One thing i have also done is get a double shot in a large glass with ice and add a protien shake.

[@Ahzpayne]

As a diabetic you should be aware of recent studies showing most of those alternative sweeteners have the exact same impact on our bodies. If my body can't tell the difference but my tongue can I see no reason to deal with the ever present bitterness of alternative sweeteners. That's just me though and I have no desire to live forever so I take my diabetes into consideration but never let it dictate anything entirely.

[@8stringmonkey]

@@Ahzpaynei definitely have to watch this as well and take in moderation, I have found sugar alcohols raise my numbers quickly.

[@marlyd]

The coffee energy drinks should be accompanied by the Simpsons' "I'm in danger" Ralph meme, you know, as a legal PSA

It's always a little treat when we see Graham

[@SirNichosis]

YES! I love the "buy a million different coffees and try them all in rapid succession" type videos 🤩

[@mothmansuperfan7513]

The Starbucks triple shot drink is horrid as coffee, but the only thing I've found that can keep me up when I'm having to drive through the night. 0/10 enjoyable but 10/10 functional

[@n7a7lb]

What does it say about me that theyre one of the only gas station caffeine drinks that does nothing for me? I'm usually super caffeine sensitive but those put me to sleep and I have no idea why

[@hopegold883]

Yeah, whatever else you may say about Starbucks, it has the caffeine down. Green (or white) tea is all I can drink, Starbucks is the only place that’s gets me going.

[@WhimsicalCrochet]

The triple shot was my absolute favorite until they changed the recipe. Very much tastes like a liquid desert compared to coffee, but i enjoyed their old recipe a lot! Too bad they had to mess it up🙃

[@WhimsicalCrochet]

@@n7a7lb they’re super sweet, so I can’t help but think there must be a lot of sugar in them. That may be why. Also, ever since they changed their recipe, the triple shot has less caffeine now. Total rip off.

[@burgers8]

I agree. I've liked the Doubleshot for a long time. Then I tried the Tripleshot, and I was like *blegh*

[@DoktorApe]

I was going to suggest splitting the novelty flavored drinks out the milk category, but that would have meant allowing one into the final round.

[@svinjamaria]

I know its not directed at me but I confess to being tickled at seeing a “Hello Graham” as a timestamp 😂

[@crob8328]

It's the first time I've seen so much canned coffee in one place, and I sadly can't find even a third of them in my country (France). I'll still watch for... informational purpose and pure curiosity! (And because I really like your videos)

[@friendslovecars]

I've adored La Colombe's draft latte, but I wish they'd make a decaf and a non-sweetened version

[@karenweiner1857]

You can get a non sweetened version if you ever go to their coffee shops, and it’s really good! I agree they should sell a canned version

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

This is my go to when I’m traveling but their boxed gallon of cold brew is in my home And office fridge and my day to day coffee.

[@batkat0]

The draft latte is really nice and my husband gets it for free from his office😉 so that really cleanses the palate.

[@rrs1576]

Morgan this is seriously crazy timing! Just YESTERDAY I was thinking to myself that I should look into canned coffee to keep at work when I don't have time to make coffee 😊

[@seaborgium919]

I think we need to get some international coffees for Morgan. I want to know your opinion of BOSS coffee (Japanese)

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

Let me recover from this video and then we’ll hop into that

[@seaborgium919]

​@@morgandrinkscoffee woohoo! That'll be exciting! And yes. Give yourself like. A few months to come off this buzz haha

[@sustainablegremlin]

​@@morgandrinkscoffeeIf you do end up doing something like that, I highly recommended Cafe Thu Thiet 3 in 1. It's a Vietnamese instant coffee that's one of my favorite treats!

[@breadandborks]

I'd love to see some of the Japanese and Korean canned coffees I've been enjoying over the years. I'm glad to see others saying this!

[@joecassidy2887]

as someone who has had a good amount of monsters, that monster coffee is probably the foulest thing I have ever put in my mouth

[@jamesreese4170]

I actually like the Monster Java, it's my go to. Although they discontinued my favorite flavor which was Kona.

[@JaredBuretta]

The sound of the cans opening in the studio is so satisfying.

[@junipermorris3115]

Breaking news! Auditory recording of the rare Graham Drinks Coffee has been found

[@MythosSociety]

I can feel the progression of the caffeine taking hold with each can.

[@kenbrandon6434]

Dunkin’ recently dropped the “Donuts” from their name since their brand now has so many coffee and non-coffee foods as well as breakfast sandwiches.

[@Francisca_05]

Hi! Spanish speaker here! When I first glanced at the title, I thought about instant canned coffee, like powered coffee. When I actually watch the video, I was impressed, but not disappointed ❤

[@colourlessbluethings]

I spent a few years living in Japan, where these are really popular. I have to admit; I got to quite like a few of them. Convenience stores (and some vending machines) have little spots where they warm them and keep them warm. So when there wasn't a convenient cafe near work, these were fine. Wonda and Boss were my go to. Having said that, I haven't bought one since I left there.

[@ohleander02]

This much coffee would make me sick and keep me up all night. And possibly send me to the hospital honestly. I know your sips aren't very big, but I've got blood pressure issues and a low caffeine tolerance. Thanks for taking one for the team!

[@marlyd]

I've only ever had canned coffee in Spain on holiday when I was too anxious to talk to people at a coffee shop so I just bought some at the supermarket. It didn't really taste like coffee, but more like mocha ice-cream so it was okay.

[@cassidycarson2505]

So fun that there’s a KZbinr I watch that’s also from Portland, because I can actually get all of these at the store! We have such amazing coffee ❤️ ☕️

[@CWGminer]

Great video! Could you do a second one covering the various coffees from H-mart? There *are* enough for another video, I promise.

[@BriceQ]

The dunkin cans are named after some of their donuts/muffins! they are really just vanilla, chocolate, and the best one you didn't get cinnamon (coffee cake muffin)

[@LOSPhalanxx]

This isn’t about the coffee but I just have to admire Morgan’s beauty and how she slides into our view so elegantly

I love these slightly unhinged experiment MDC videos. My favorite kind.

[@Aaaaaaaalonika]

Your voice is very soothing. I listened to this while I sent an email that was very stressful for me.

[@roxascloud101]

Tbh the monster mean bean is my go to when i'm out and need something quick and easy. It's decent, you can find it almost anywhere, and i'd rather drink that than take a risk on something i'm unfamiliar with.

[@pistachiopanda]

When I worked my awful job years ago, I would go to a gas station and get these on my lunch break. I traveled 25 to 30 miles one way and got gas often. The gas station would sell these for 2 for 4$, which is a steal. My favorite was the Mean Bean or the Java Mocha. I would literally drink 2 of these a day, 3 or 4 days a week. I'm curious to see how they hold up now lmfao.

[@effer-ves-cent]

morgan i cannot believe this. i was JUST about to cry over not having a good canned espresso latte because i miss my nonna's espresso so much and i was JUST linked to this video.

[@juliebruce1114]

You were definitely buzzing 2/3 of the way through this video LOL - not sure if it was from the sugar or the caffeine😂 Before I drank real coffee I loved Java Monsters. You should really try the Russian and the Irish Cream!

[@BayleeD22]

I love your testing and ranking videos! I was a little sad not to see the starbucks espresso & cream there. That was a staple for me in school, its only ingredients are espresso, milk, cream, and sugar. I found it just the right amount of sweet and satisfyingly creamy since it has the real cream in it. However considering the staggering amount you tasted I'm not surprised some things didn't make it!

[@prizim4827]

pretty sure with the mean bean its the taurine in it that causes that wierd taste like most energy drinks it is just very bitter

[@mafiacat88]

On the Monster Java thing; one evening with some friends, on a dare, I agreed to try a Java Gonster (It's half a glass of monster with a half glass Guinness float), and it weirdly really improved it. Like, don't get me wrong-it wasn't amazing, like a solid 6 out of ten. But way less heinous than I expected, and okay enough that if someone was already making them (for some godforsaken reason), I might not turn it down if offered it. I think the comparative bitterness of the stout just really helps cut the sweetness of the Java monster, and they weirdly work. Though don't drink more than 3 gonsters in an evening, unless you want to feel BAD. Also, there are some really solid Japanese canned coffee drinks, and if you're into doing more of these, seeing some of those could be fun!

[@WhimsicalCrochet]

The monster ones taste super watered down to me:/

[@Gaath.Gazmatum]

I've never seen most of these, but I was curious how UCC would stand up in this lineup. You find it in grocery stores more often than gas stations, but it's been a favorite of mine forever.

[@Zenaltra]

I've tried a decent number of the ones here, but I agree Original UCC is by far my favorite canned coffee. It's the only one I've found to be worth purchasing numerous times.

[@MissingRaptor]

While these videos are fantastic and I will watch every single one (in part because I neither enjoy coffee nor can physically tolerate the levels of caffeine in a cup of black tea, much less coffee), it might not be a terrible idea to film these over more than one day? It's such a fun series, but it's getting a little worrying. Having said that, you know you best and what works for you 👍 (I apologize if I came across a little bossy/preachy, it just seems like a lot of coffee all at once and I didn't feel like I could keep it to myself ☕)

[@Superfastjellyfish669]

La Colombe is my favorite canned coffee I usually go for the triple shot. But there draft oat latte is absolutely amazing

[@chefdannydesteli]

As someone who works for starbucks. I really don’t like our cold brew, i don’t like the double shot energy whatever they are called, and yeah lol but i enjoyed this. Also side note I also as a kid would have those Starbucks frappuccino drinks but i always got the vanilla one and yeah it doesn’t taste like coffee. it’s more like coffee essence

[@manxie1897]

Its so hard to find a good milky coffee RTD so i appreciate this video so much 😭❤️

[@halem6580]

As someone who can't make myself drink black coffee, my favorite canned coffees I've had are the La Colombe ones. They're not as sickly sweet as some of the big coffee chain ones but they're still a sweet and light feeling. I practically lived on their triple shot lattes when I ran a sailing program for a couple summers

[@DarkFire515]

Even trying all of those drinks was incredibly brave!

[@markholm7050]

You needed a hot chili coffee for Graham to cleanse his palate after that Snickers coffee.

[@davecomstock9544]

I've never had a Califia coffee drink, but their almond milks have a very weird, unpleasant aftertaste to me. My wife agreed, so even when the Califia is on sale, we avoid it and stick with...really, any other brand. Looking forward to trying the Water Avenue, the Stumptown cold brew, and the Ethiopian Natural (if I can find it).

[@FantaLain]

Halfway through I wanted to call a time out and I wasnt even the one drinking the coffee! Some of those very last ones in the milk category were disturbing 😂

[@נועהלוברוב]

I laughed so hard at how you could see the dreading in your eyes as you went on to drink more and more coffees LOL

[@SinaJulia]

If you ever come to Europe, specifically Switzerland and the surrounding countries, you simply must try the „Emmi Caffe Latte“ products. Emmi is a swiss dairy producer and those drinks are chilled coffee drinks, mostly with milk but vegan options are available too! (Also store brand alternatives in pretty much every grocery store here) These drinks have an absolute chokehold on swiss commuters wanting a somewhat cheaper refreshing cold latte experience ☺️

[@dacodemonk]

Love seeing Graham! I also couldn't help but notice you both went back to that Ethiopian cold brew!

[@erinzeb]

It's fun watching the caffeine level build up over the video! 😆

[@jennya1782]

Graham might not agree but I would love to watch both of you do one of these massive taste tests together 🤣

[@renatab6938]

It's definitely not my preferred way to drink coffee, but canned cold brew is always super convenient. Also, idk what is is about the plain Stumptown cold brew but it always gives me enough energy to fight the sun - sometimes I can't even finish it

[@chiibits]

I would love to see Morgan taste test all the asian canned/bottled coffee she can find from her local asian grocery stores. ☕️

[@Viniter]

When you brought out the trays I got genuinely worried for you. I hope you got some sleep the week following this shoot. :D Btw, regarding the Monster... as a former energy drink enjoyer, I think you got it right with "the monster" tasting note. I'm pretty sure that flavour doesn't exist in the natural world.

[@lydnorth]

I love watching this while drinking coffee as if im playing a drinking game when every time she takes a sip, i take a sip lol

[@HERO_DREAMER]

I remember trying the Sbux nitro cold brew 5 years ago, during my first quarter of undergrad: They had a truck outside the university building I had a class in, and my friend Riley (who I met in that class) and I both got a free branded lil glass before heading in. I tried it before class began and didn't like it due to the bitterness, but Riley didn't try his till partway thru the lecture...immediately recoiling and making a face in displeasure. After class, we went to the nearby buffet-style commons, and he added whatever ingredient(s) that finally made it "tolerable."

[@travismueller8282]

The can of the Super Coffee definitely is designed to function as an energy drink. They have a version of those that come in a protein shake like bottle that's supposed to be more normal.

[@kenbrandon6434]

Glad to have a special guest, Graham Drinks Coffee.

[@louisburley1597]

I’m just stoked my local roaster Broadsheets was in the ad. That was cool as hell

[@zackvirgo3597]

I think its probably very local but my favorite is Dark Matter Coffee out of Chicago, they have a rotating menu of flavors for their canned coffees. If they aren't available Stumptown is always really solid.

[@potassiumfeldspar]

Now do the entire coffee section at whatever your local Asian market is! I always get paralized by choice at those places, but they have a TON of varieties.

[@byaialele5916]

Every canned coffee has this washed out canned coffee flavour, the monster ones kind of cut through it like you said which makes it taste brighter

[@DarkkestNite]

spotted a couple of the highest ranking drinks at the store after watching this, and was briefly tempted... then quickly realized that, at least in my neck of the woods, you can get a real cafe drink for that price instead. so i went and did that. 😂 La Colombe, by contrast, might be super sweet, but it's not bad and at least it's cheap!

[@Arrrghjay84]

I tried the Cinnamon Toast Crunch & Reeses coffee cans recently, they (especially the CTC) were so good!

0:15 Russell T. Davies coffee. On another note, I'm jealous of all the lactose-free/alternative milk options for iced coffee there!

That slate mocha seems like my thing, as I've enjoyed soft drinks with stevia (I miss Coca-Cola Life, haha)

OH MY, you should try Indonesian RTD Coffee, none of them RTD Coffee is a plain black coffee, NONE, but all of em is pretty much liquid sugar creamer with a lil bit of instant reconstituted coffee (yes its not pure coffee), like 0.6 to 1.6% of the ingredients is them instant reconstituted coffee, even the said "Black Coffee" is pretty much Water, Sugar, 1.0% ish IR Coffee, and food coloring (along with a puck of preservatives). the lowest sugar used in the RTD Coffee is about 9g of sugar in a 180ml of serving, and most of them are in Plastic bottles

[@davidbreault3283]

Hello Morgan, I would really really like a sequel to this for japanese/taiwanese/vietnamese canned coffees found at most asian grocers. They have been doing good canned coffee for decades and I really feel like you’re missing out. Please also state in that video (if you decide to do it) if they are better or worse than any of the ones you tried today! Thanks so much!

[@owmylehg7811]

13:36 On that, one of my biggest food pet peeves is vanilla flavored things that aren't actually vanilla flavored. 99% of the time vanilla just means "very very sweet", and there's no actual vanilla flavor. As someone that actually really likes the flavor of vanilla, it drives me insane.

We drink Costco cold brew cans. I have had a few of the nitro you had on here. I want a decent coffee without sugar. Occasionally, I would like one with almond milk.

[@WhimsicalCrochet]

My favorite canned coffee is 100% the Starbucks double shot. It used to be the triple shot until they changed it. It’s super thick and creamy, more of a special caffeinated treat. I’m not a fan of other canned coffees, but then again, I’m not a coffee connoisseur.

[@WhimsicalCrochet]

The monster one tastes like a sad watered down & flavorless version of the Starbucks one tbh. Not a fan.

[@loneboy2807]

Hi, I have a question. I recently bought a bag of medium roast coffee beans I am new to this and don't have any equipment I just put my ground coffee in mug of boiling water around 95 degree C and just use a strainer to brew it, brew time 4 to 5 min but, the main thing is that I don't like the taste of my brewed coffee and rather like the instant coffee more(Nescafe). I buy blue tokai coffee beans can you tell me what's the problem. 😊😊

[@jo.comics]

Hi, I suggest you either get yourself a french press or an Aeropress. Try and brew the coffee with one of those according to the instructions or using an online guide, there are many, and see if you prefer that. Coffee goes real deep, so dip your toes in to see if you're into it and go further then. Those two are great places to start with, they're quite inexpensive and easy to get. After that you can maybe invest in an inexpensive coffee grinder and a V60 or a Chemex and try some filtered coffee using whole beans. That's where I'd start at least. Hope that helps!

[@notreallydaedalus]

Without buying equipment, I would suggest lowering your brew time, and being more precise. 4 to 5 minutes is a fairly large range. For medium roast I think people usually go closer to 3.5 minutes. I'm a dark roast guy though. I would a.so recommend buying a pack of basket filters. Very minimal investment, you can just lay one in a strainer and pour through it. You can also use a tightly woven cloth. But leaving g ground coffee in the mug will add more unpleasant flavor over time. Finally, it's possible you just like the flavor of instant coffee! Most of us find that our preferences develop over time, though. I don't know any coffee lovers who still prefer their original brew. I loved instant as a young teenager, and now in my 40s I barely tolerate it.

[@loneboy2807]

@@notreallydaedalus Ya me too, I always drank Nescafe classic instant coffee since my childhood so maybe that's the reason. However, I agree that freshly ground coffee gives more of the different notes than instant coffee and I have also tried brewing by South Indian filter method but still didn't like it. Maybe I am just used to the taste of instant coffee, by the way thanks for your reply.
