Barista Bros Iced Chocolate

ORIGINAL RECIPE!!! – Original recipe is back, my life has purpose again. Thank you barista bros for saving me from that sugar free nightmare you threw upon me. Thank you very very much.

Thank you Barista Bros for bringing it back!!! – Thank you so much for bringing back the original recipe iced chocolate. The epic new taste was so horrible I couldn’t drink it. Now it’s back and I can’t get enough. Thank you thank you thank you… Show details

Good news everyone, they listened and its back – Just another day of walking past the Barista Bros Iced Chocolate to grab some milk nearby. I look over expecting to see that rubbish epic taste label, but to my surprise I see a new label saying Original Recipe. That made my Friday arvo!! So good, thank you for listening. Show details

Bring Back The Old – This new flavour is trashhh, I used to have barista bros every single day and now I can’t even look the sight of it, it makes me gag! Why did they make it so watery and gross? The old flavour is the best bring it back.

No added sugar means sweeteners!! Awful – This caught me out. Allergic to sweeteners!! Didn't spot new epic taste or no added sugar which would have been a red flag for me to check the ingredients. Luckily it tasted so bad i checked after 2 mouthfuls so only got a little bit ill. Show details

So bad – Had two sips. Couldn't stomach anymore, tasted so horrible. I'd rather just drink plain milk than this rubbish. Won't buy again. Wish I had read all these reviews before I bought. Show details

Love choc barista – Love it but hated sugar free one shop around till i find choc one please tell me you are still going to make it and not stop i love it so much drink at least 2 a day Show details

A rare win for the customers – Quite by chance just found the 'original recipe' in the fridge at the supermarket after not buying a single bottle since they changed to the so-called 'epic taste'. Hooray! Amazing that they listened, and I can only assume that they've had to react to plummeting sales. Really, though, what were they thinking of in the first place? Did they even… Read more

bother to test the 'epic taste' before foisting it on an unsuspecting public? Classic case of marketers trying to change the market to fit their world view. Thoroughly agree with the call for a larger size option - that would be great

Original Recipe brings back my original smile – Awesome work bringing back Original Recipe Iced Chocolate. Being keeping my eye out in hope you may listen - and you did. All's right in the world again. Thank you. Time for my Barista fix.

Was the best, now the worst – I used to have one of these at least once a week. In the time since they changed it, I have had maybe 3. Should be called 'epically bad taste.' Show details

Would rate 0 – Literally checked the bottle thinking I must have bought an out of date milk, nope just the new epic spoiled milk taste. What a shame. Used to be my favourite treat.

Changed recipe – Used to buy this ALL the time, one day they changed the recipe and I haven't bought it since. I understand it's probably a little healthier now but who buys chocolate milk for health?

Epitome of unsatisfying – Notice they don't call it MILK chocolate? It's because it doesn't contain milk, just watered-down milk solids. Revolting unsatisfying feeling left in your stomach after you swallow a thick, unsatisfying mouthful of watery goop. I genuinely will never buy this product again. Show details

They killed such a great chocolate milk (but redeemed themselves) – Used to be one of the best chocolate milks, now it tastes like butt. I have no idea why they murdered such a delicious drink. Please bring back the OG milk. Edit: GUYS THEY BROUGHT IT BACK!!! The original recipe is back and it’s so so good. Thank you for listening Barista Bros. Show details

Change of recipe – This product is now that Disgusting when I tasted it I thought the milk was off then I realised the recipe has changed. I definitely wont be buying it again. Show details

From best to worst in one recipe – The new epic taste as they call it has ruined this drink for me entirely. I can only hope people stopped buying the drink to force the old formula back Show details

new taste has ruined it – used to be my favourite chocolate milk, tried it today without realising that it had changed. barely can taste any chocolate and is very unenjoyable. old formula was much better. won’t purchase unless they bring back the old formula. what a shame.

new epic taste epically awful – I purchased one of the new epic taste iced coffee bottles yesterday. It was very disappointing. There is now a strange chemical aftertaste - not to mention awful taste. The addition of sweetener rather than actual sugar is a big mistake. I wont make that mistake again. Show details

Ruined by the new flavour – I used to get these all the time, now the "new epic taste" completely ruined it. Won't get anymore unless they bring back the original. It's like shapes all over again

If I could do minus stars I would – Used to be amazing Now is disgusting, haven't bought one since the recipe was changed. They must be losing so much money after changing it, I don't know anyone who used to buy it that still does Show details

Literal crap – I bought this when we went to watch Shang chi at the cinemas without knowing it was the new “epic” taste. I opened it and had a sip…. And then another sip… to realise it didn’t taste normal. My bf told me to check the expiration date. Wasn’t expired? We both were so confused and thought it went bad somehow. And that’s when we saw the new epic… Read more

taste. NOT EPIC at all. Who ever created this new one should literally get fired. The old one was already so good. Why change it? The new one tastes like fake sugar sweetener. And the taste lingers in your mouth for so long. Won’t be buying this again until they come back with the old one.

Devastated – Couldn’t understand why it didn’t taste right, wasn’t as chocolatey as it normally is and feels like a thinner consistency. I kept shaking it thinking it wasn’t mixed properly but then I saw the “new epic taste”. After taste is gross, used to be my fav before they changed it. Probably won’t be buying again any time soon Show details

Just why – An absolute disgrace to the human race. Product made me feel sick to the point of throwing up. Used to such a good drink but now I'll never buy it again Show details

Disgusting – The new 'epic taste' is awful. It used to be my absolute favourite chocolate milk but now, me absolute least. All you can taste is the gross fake sweetener taste, and it lingers in your mouth for ages. Hate it hate it hate it. Bring back the old version! Will never buy from barista bro's again if this 'new epic taste' version isnt discontinued.

Ruined – Undrinkable. The sickening aftertaste sticks with you for hours. The bottle looks like the drink you actually enjoyed previously, it is not. Totally ruined my afternoon. More soulless corporate rationalism destroying the small pleasures in life. Show details

Don't fix what's not broken! – The New Epic Taste is anything but 'epic'. It is horrendous to say the least. Who's idea was it to change the recipe? My partner LOVED the old taste and started noticing the new packaging on the bottles recently. He bought a handful thinking it was the same. We had to throw them out. We had a friend try the new one and he too confirmed that it was… Read more

almost sour? Bitter? Like off-milk? We had bought a box full of what we thought were the originals online but they arrived, wrongfully advertised and containing the new recipe. We contacted Coca-Cola and we could only ever put through a complaint. It has been months now and we still haven't been able to find any of the old bottles. We are guttered. It tastes nothing like the old recipe which was thick and bubbly and tasted like real chocolate. Don't waste your time or money. If I could rate this with no stars, I would.

Awful new taste – The New Epic Taste is awful. All I can taste is that awful sweetener. I cant get the lingering taste to leave my tongue. Please go back to the original recipe which was delicious. Edit..thank you, so happy to have the delicious original recipe back Show details

If I could it wouldn't be a star – Haven't had this product in ages, decided to have it now- B I G mistake. The recipe used to be velvety and thick, when you'd open the lid after giving the bottle a good shake there'd be a bubbly thick cloud of chocolatey goodness. Now you shake the bottle and the cloud dribbles off cos of the product's new thickness. On to the flavour: one word-… Read more

revolting. It tastes like watered down Nesquik with a sweetener tablet dissolved into it.

Never buying again unless they fix the recipe.

Thanks Coca-Cola for ruining something that people enjoy, honestly I haven't met anyone who has complained over the original drink.

What were they thinking?? – Haven’t had one in awhile Took one sip and immediately knew they switched to artificial sweeteners and it tastes terrible. Would not recommend until they reintroduce their original recipe with sugar. Show details

TERRIBLE ABSOLUTELY FLAVOURLESS – cannot believe barista bros went from having such amazing drinks to a disgusting rotten milk tasting “epic taste” it’s a joke to even put that there in bold!!! Brand loyalty in the bin.  Show details

New taste is absolute garbage! – This WAS my favourite chocolate drink but not anymore! At first I thought it had gone off but then realised they had changed the taste. Will not be buying this ever again. Thanks for ruining a good thing.  Show details

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! – As per every other review. The old recipe was the best chocolate milk out there and is now 100% the worst. I will be getting my chocolate milk fix from other brands now. “New epic taste” what an epic mistake!!!!  Show details

Please contact Coca Cola with your complaint – Agree with all of the above. Had to tip it out. Please please make the effort to contact Coca Cola. They do answer promptly. If they won't listen, Oak is the way to go. Make sure they know yours is an "Epic" departure from the product. Show details

Please change it back, yuck – Can’t understand why they’ve gotten rid of the original range. These “ new epic taste” are disgusting. Aftertaste is similar to a sweet chocolate cough syrup. Not buying them anymore unfortunately. Show details
