Chamberlain Coffee Almond & Coconut Milk Mocha Latte (11 FZ)
Chamberlain Coffee Almond & Coconut Milk Mocha Latte
$3.19
The Almond & Coconut Milk Mocha Latte is probably the most disappointing of the new canned cold-brews from Chamberlain Coffee, particularly for the flavor, which goes beyond not good, deep into the territory of overtly bad. Reminiscent of baking chocolate in bitterness and almost entirely devoid of sweet, the drink fails to embrace either the richness of black coffee or the more savory, sugary tones of the latte, instead becoming something in the middle that is wholly unappealing. With abysmally low ratings on most retailers’ websites, it becomes clear that this product may have been a total miss for Chamberlain Coffee. -T42

Distinctions - If evaluated through the lens of coffee as a functionary, the Almond & Coconut Milk Mocha Latte does accomplish the goal of providing caffeine (70mg), with particularly commendation for the relatively high concentration for the smaller, 11 fluid ounce volume. Notably, though ingredient choice may contribute to negative flavor impressions, the drink is also entirely plant-based and therefore, dairy-free.
Criticisms - When evaluated as a beverage for enjoyability, the Almond & Coconut Milk Mocha Latte is woefully disappointing, with a taste that has been described by several reviewers (and agreed upon by our team) as akin to 'spoiled milk'. Bitter undertones fail to evoke mocha, coming closer to something more like stale coffee or coffee made from incredibly dry beans.
-
Distinctions - The packaging for the Almond & Coconut Milk Mocha 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 Almond & Coconut Milk Mocha 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 Mocha 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 Mocha 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 Mocha 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 Mocha Latte is far more aesthetically appealing, albeit in a more niche way.
Criticisms - Taste and value in the Almond & Coconut Milk Mocha Latte falter heavily, making it arguably one of the worst options for someone who cares about the taste and size of their coffee.
