Chamberlain Coffee Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte (11 FZ)
Chamberlain Coffee Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte
$3.19
Simply put, the Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte by Chamberlain Coffee is not good. While the can and artwork are typically charming and aesthetically pleasing like the rest of Chamberlain Coffee’s product lines, the actual coffee is not great—even overtly bad. The online consensus is negative, with certain extreme language like ‘rancid’ or ‘undrinkable’ being used, but the reality is the Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte simply tastes old, bitter and chemically sweet. -T42
-
Distinctions - As coffee, the Chamberlain Coffee Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte gets it done; 70mg of caffeine in just 11 fluid ounces, it functions as a solid pick-me-up anytime during the day. Entirely plant-based ingredients are also a plus for dairy-heavy alternatives that are either more fatty or undrinkable to lactose-intolerant audiences.
Criticisms - Unfortunately the other half of any drink is flavor, and the Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte is incredibly unappealing even when compared to Chamberlain Coffee's own ground coffee. The flavor has no elements that are particularly rich, sweet or savory, instead being bitter and vaguely tinny.
-
Distinctions - The packaging for the Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte excels amongst peers that are garish and sized confusingly. Chamberlain Coffee provides the drink in a thinner profile can with an aesthetically pleasing design.
Criticisms - For the price of around 3-4 USD, depending on the retailer, the Chamberlain Coffee Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte is markedly worse in taste than many of its peers with little in the way of other selling points. The price point places it amongst Starbucks' lines of ready-to-go lattes which are wholly more enjoyable in taste with similar caffeine concentration.
-
Distinctions - Easily the greatest selling point of the Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte, aesthetically the design is near perfect in cohesion and appeal. The artwork and typography, as well as the color suite are all complementary, while some thought was even given to cohesion within the product line as a whole. Cans from different flavors complement each other stylistically when on shelves and at home. Chamberlain Coffee has somewhat of a niche, softer aesthetic than other brands, but shows clear thought and effort in the execution.
Criticisms - Poor legibility in the ingredients section of the Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte, likely due to font size and weight, do make reading specific elements outside of the nutritional facts tougher than other peers.
-
Distinctions - Unlike certain contemporaries, the Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte comes in a simple aluminum can that is entirely recyclable.
Criticisms - There is no recycling rebate on the Chamberlain Coffee cans, or at least no advertisement of it, possibly leading to less-sustainable disposal. Without the incentive, there are those who will not properly recycle the can.
-
Distinctions - Compared to the ubiquitous alternatives, Chamberlain Coffee's packaging on the Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte is far more aesthetically appealing, albeit in a more niche way.
Criticisms - Taste and value in the Almond & Coconut Milk Vanilla Latte falter heavily, making it arguably one of the worst options for someone who cares about the taste and size of their coffee.
