1 Lauren H.  · Bring back original flavour – The original double shot espresso was so great but the new receipe tastes like chemicals. Odd after taste. Won't buy again
5 ILoveBaristaBros  · This Drink Is Life Changing! – I love this drink, cant live with out it! Iced Chocolate Is the best And their Iced Mochas Ae Amazing!
1 squizzy  · Dont even drink it as a last resort – Doesn't taste like coffee, or milk. Leaves a funny aftertaste
5 Zayne  · ( was ) My no.1 favorite – Not sure what others are going on about this was my number 1 iced coffee but why make it watery and less fulfilling as it once was
2 Fran  · Wish it was better – The flavour is nice but the consistency is too thick. I prefer other brands that are more milky but still have great flavour
5 Sarah Kate  · Great pick me up! – This is a great iced coffee drink. Nice strong espresso flavour, very smooth, and doesn’t leave a strong after taste. Great price too.

Over 200 bottles and not a single chemical taste – Best iced coffee around I have had over 200 bottles (i buy cartons) of the no added sugar espresso and found the taste to be exactly the same for each and everyone. It's made from long life milk - hence it comes in a carton warm - and I don't mind ultra heat treated milk at all. Can't see what anyone is complaining about , their bad luck i guess. 5 star from me and 100% have never had a foul or chemical taste

Barista Bros Espresso Coffee is Crap – I like how it tells you to state facts in here. Ok ; I will! Fact one; partner bought a bottle of Barista Bros Espresso Coffee. Fact Two; Partner opened but then gave it to me saying it was for me cause of low sugar. Fact three; I took a mouthful without looking and it was extremely bitter but swallowed before realising. Fact four; looked… Read more

inside bottle after taking a mouthful and found the liquid to be a yellowish clear liquid which of course tasted very bitter and foul. Fact five ; it was still well within its expiry date. Jan 23 . Day of purchase 9 August 2022 The facts are don't buy the crap as that's exactly what it is !!!

Tastes waterd down and hollow – I used to get these all the time, now the "epic" new taste versions are out I won't be getting these anymore. Nippys or wave even v coffee is a massive upgrade in flavour vs this bullpucky!! Show details

The NEW EPIC TASTE of battery acid – The attempt at trying to appeal to the fear of sugar makes this new line basically undrinkable, maybe this is a shot at aversion therapy but outside of that being reason it might make a decent drain cleaner. Show details

Favorite iced coffee – Been drinking this for years but stopped for a while as it had too many calories. They changed it, has less fat and sugar but still tastes great Was shocked when I saw how many negative comments my favorite drink got. Oh well, can't please everyone. Show details

Excellent Iced Coffee – Barista Bros double espresso iced coffee is excellent. I cannot but wonder why all the negative comments. I love this coffee and I hope they keep it coming just as it is. Show details

Tribute to the original recipes – The original three recipe’s of the products were 5 star. I spent a lot of money buying them nearly everyday. It would be wise for Coca-Cola to listen to the customers reviews, because we vote with our wallet.  Show details

Why can't we have unsweetened coffee with good milk and espresso only? – Your produce is too sweet. A good iced coffee is made with good quality espresso and milk, full cream milk or skim milk or almond milk or soy milk, but no sugar, no sweetner, nothing else should be added so that the coffee is the hero. Show details

There is an off putting taste that I can't identify – I really like ice coffee's that don't have sugar, which draws me to he Barista Bros Iced Coffee. The taste keeps letting me down where I will drink just about any other ice coffee in preference. I don't know if it is the milk solids, or the sweetener. Nearly tastes a bit like the long life milk can at times? Show details

No sugar is awful, bring back the regular! – My hubby and I loved these and treated ourselves regularly to the double espresso, we even stopped buying barista coffees. We cannot drink these since the no sugar came in, leaves a chemical, artificial taste in mouth. Wish companies would give us choices and not shove these "healthier" alternatives down our throats. I have an intolerance to artificial sweetener being on fodmap.

Congratulations on utilising your marketing data – The change you made to the recipe made it worse than all competitors and average at best. I went from buying one almost every day to not buying one ever but I'm so glad to see you've utilised your feedback data and returned your formulation to its former glory. I have now resumed my frequent purchases Show details

Sickly weak coffee milk drink – This ‘no sugar’ drink has an overpowering unpleasant chemical taste, which I suspect is the artificial sweetener. Coffee was very weak; certainly not espresso. And reading ingredients, why is there so much salt added?? Will not buy again. Show details

Misleading Double Expresso - Terrible Addition of Milk – The bottle says Double Expresso Iced Coffee. I bought it thinking I'm buying double expresso as every ordinary person would know there is no milk. Turned out they had milk in there. Terribly misleading. This company has no idea what a double expresso means. And I'm lactose intolerant blind buying this. Show details

Never again! – Coffee is weak and it has a lingering longlife/powdered milk taste. Couldn't even force myself to drink it. Was looking forward to iced coffee in the morning unfortunately a disappointment, never again! Show details

Tastes horrible – I had the double expresso, I couldn’t even force myself half way through it. Tasted terrible and wasn’t anywhere near what I expected, definitely won’t be trying again. Don’t recommend Show details

What did you do???!!! – This "new taste" is not pleasant at all. Used to absolutely love the creamy taste of the original recipe, which used real milk and no water. This recipe tastes like watery milk. Show details

Barista Bros disappointed purchase – I tried my latest purchase of double espresso and didn't enjoy it. Thinking that I had bought the wrong product, I checked the bottle and noticed 'epic new taste'. Unfortunately, it tastes watered down and is not something that I will buy again until they go back to original recipe. Show details

Used to be great – The "NEW EPIC TASTE" tastes like they've diluted their drink with water. Even their double espresso flavor is so weak you can barely taste the coffee now. Won't be buying again until they undo this change. Show details

Includes artificial sweetener? – I tried for the first time yesterday because "sugar free". Still very sweet. Artificial sweeteners? If you're whinging that it's not sweet enough, how sweet it the sh!t you drink? Show details

new recipe is a joke – i dont understand the recipe change in the slightest, used to be great. i enjoyed both iced coffee and iced chocolate from barista bros thouroughly before this garbage, perhaps it is pursuit to profit more per sale but its gross, a favourite to an afterthought. i am not sure the reason to this radical change and why it hasnt been changed but this is utter poo poo

“Epic new taste” of UHT milk and plastic – Used to be one of the better options in the store fridge but the ‘epic new taste’ no longer tastes like real milk or coffee. Will choose pretty much any other brand in future - avoid. Show details

Haven't bought one since – Based on all the negative reviews I've seen, I am not the only one disappointed with managements decision to crucify the sugar content. Wake up guys! If I want less sugar I will drink water. You have ruined a great drink, how about letting the customer decide. Show details

Epic new taste is sickly sweet – Give us a choice of sugar free OR with sugar or a substitute. The new taste has turned me off. I will not be 2buying Expresso double shot, mocha or Chocolate again. Show details

This use to be my favourite milk coffee no added sugar (yuck) – This iced coffee drink WAS the best drink ever until some silly idea to make it sugar free just destroyed the flavour. Please give us a choice of sugar or sugar free. Show details

Undrinkable – Took one sip of the new epic taste double espresso and it’s awful! It’s bitter and just all round unpleasant. Went straight in the bin, why have they ruined such a good iced coffee? Show details

Horrible! – I bought this from a vending machine at work. It was undrinkable. Whatever sugar substitute they used made it unsuitable for human consumption. It went straight in the rubbish bin. Show details
