Bickford's Iced Coffee Syrup

Where did Bickfords go wrong? – Ah, a really great product gone bad recently. I was buying the reduced sugar version and loving it totally. Outclassed competitors, hands down. Especially pre-made ones. But now it seems to have disappeared and the full sugar shots are almost as sickly as can be. I've reverted to making my own with espresso and a little sugar, but that takes planning! Hurrumpff Bickfords.

Tried it for the first time – This iced coffee syrup is fantastic love it. I came across this accidently whilst looking for something else. I knew Bickfords cordials were great so I had to try it and it certainly did not let me down. Show details

Great stuff – Love it, nothing else seems to compare. Cheap easy iced coffee. I notice a lot of comments in the negative and I think they must be trolls. Because it's great.  Show details

Best Iced Coffee syrup – This smooth delicious iced coffee syrup is the best available. You can make a decent amount of drinks from this bottle. I would like to see the price reduced.

Tastes like poison – I have been buying this iced coffee for the best part of 6years. I bought a bottle a couple of weeks ago and noticed a bitter taste and thought it was just me. (Maybe I made it too strong) After trying several times I googled to see if something had been changed in the recipe before I took it back to the store thinking it may be off.. God, I was… Read more

so shocked to see how many people have found the same thing. It is terrible, not even something I can get down. Threw the bottle in the bin tonight and would never buy it again. Why change something that was a delightful refreshing drink, to something that tastes so bad.

No flavour, just sweet – This is a great option if you don't like coffee and are hoping for diabetes. I have ended up using a small amount of this in my usual ice coffee as a sugar replacement, instead of just throwing it out. Show details

Change can ruin a product – I remember when I first discovered Bickford's Iced Coffee Syrup. It reminded me of the exact flavour I'd get as a child going into Melbourne CBD with my mum back in the mid 60's and having an iced coffee in a cafe. Now it's just turned into a watery coffee flavouring with no hint of what is was like when I first tried it. Go back to original recipe and up the price. I don't mind paying for good quality, but I hate getting ripped off.

Some recipes – I like all the product but my favorite is the Mocha a bit hard to get but I managed thanks to the company's information desk . I have some of the Mocha in a very creamy yougurt . Mmm Alo I put some in tonic water to bypass the bitter tonic taste as I use tonic water to help leg cramps Show details ·  1

Bickford's Price Gouging – As per other reviews of Bickford's Iced Coffee Syrup, the new packaging has seen a 50ml reduction in container size (from 550ml to 500ml), without a price reduction. In a period of stagnating wages and pensions, this is terrible Aussie price gouging. Purchased in Jan 2021.

RIP OFF – Sorry to say I've enjoyed the Bickfords Iced Coffee as well for many years. When I first started drinking Bickfords the price was $4.50 for 750 mls. I have watched the size of the bottle go down and the price go up now $7.00 for 500 mls.. ONE bottle left that's it no more its now a big RIP OFF. ANOTHER CUSTOMER OUT THE DOOR. Show details

Iced Coffee – Sorry to say I've enjoyed the Bickfords Iced Coffee for many years. When I first started drinking Bickfords the price was $4.50 for 750 mls. I have watched the size of the bottle go down and the price go up now $7.00 for 500 mls. I have now stopped using this excellent product as it has been to expensive.

Quality gone down – Used to be our goto coffee mix but recently the quality seems to have been reduced- now quite watery. They have also reduced the size whilst raising the price. No thanks Show details

Sneaky price rise – Just bought some new stock from Woolworths and found that the container size has been reduced from 550ml to 500ml but the price is still the same. This represents a sneaky 10% price rise per ml of product. Show details

terrible, sugary and not worth it – im not convinced there is any coffee in this product. If I wanted sugar in milk, I would have done that. I contacted bickfords about this and after 2 weeks got a response that was quite frankly rude and a clear copy and paste answer. As a Barista of 14 yrs, I didnt expect it to be overly strong but did expect some coffee taste. Show details

Getting worse – We have buying bickfords iced coffee syrup for many years now. A while back the bottle size was reduced but the price remaining the same. Typical of what other companies are doing. Now the last four bottles are very Watery and not syrup like. Now we find that a greater amount is required to achieve the same flavour. We at first thought that… Read more

the kids may be topping up the bottle with water to disguise how much they may be using. But this is not the case as I have opened every new bottle to check the contents consistency. I have also spoke to other family friends about the issue and even they confirmed that they noticed this thinned down "syrup". I believe we are being scammed yet again and now have moved to buying bushells iced coffee mix and No complaints.

Too much sugar and practically no coffee – It doesn't taste like coffee. It tastes too sweet and mildly like licorice. I don't think anyone knows what an iced coffee is supposed to taste like anymore. The coffee is meant to be the overriding flavour of the iced coffee, not the milk nor the sugar. If you drink iced coffees for the flavour of the espresso, I would not recommend this product.… Read more

If you enjoy over-sweetened and watered down drinks, this is for you. The end result is like Baristo Bros or Ice Break, only that you are paying less.

Sugar is the main ingredient, it's tasteless – Sugar is the main ingredient, it's tasteless. it's awful, way too sweet, and doesn't taste like coffee, will never buy again.

Only choice – Better than any commercial alternative if your a "tragic" IC addict. Watch the waist line, but if you're hooked, this is the one. Agree with all comments regarding Bickford's cash grab, watcha gonna do?

my local shop stopped stocking the coffee – i would like to know why the only supermarket in Kyogle N.S.W stopped stocking the coffee. i have been buying it for years. its my drink of choice and im greatly dissapointed that i cant get it any longer.

Another rip off – Like Cadburys, Arnotts and many more suppliers, Bickfords are jumping on the band wagon, reducing size but keeping prices the same or increased. Not happy Jan

Brilliant taste but getting ripped off – I was regularly buying this delicious drink at my local IGA store for $ 6.59 for 600 ml however it was selling like hot cakes and you had to be quick to get hold of it. IMy local IGA is no longer selling it now so after repeated requests to get them to get it back,(to no avail.) I went down to my local Woolworths store and Lo and behold they had… Read more

it.

However to my distgust Woolworths is selling a 590ml bottle for $ 6.99.

They must think people are stupid so it's ok to rip them off.

Great product but terrible price – I love this coffee syrup and yes I agree that it's much more economical compared to buying a dare coffee everyday (which I was) but they've now increased the price $6.99 and made the bottle smaller! I am seriously considering not buying now purely on principle as I don't like being ripped off ..... I just have to kick the coffee habit :(

If you enjoy cold coffee - this is definitely the answer – The syrup when added to cold milk is delicious. Add Ice Cream and it lifts the sensation even further. My only complaint is that it is hard to find. Woolworths had it but it dissapeared and despite requests it still hasn't reappeared. May as summer proceeds stocks may arrive. It definitely tastes like coffee and is so much better than the pre mixed iced coffee in a carton.

BRILLIANT! – As someone else said, "It's almost addictive!" Great as a topping on Ice Cream! LOVE IT!!!

Tasteless – This syrup is tasteless - like sweetened milk. I drink only iced coffee or orange juice. This does not taste like iced coffee and another review saying it does is [word removed].

Great flavour at a fraction of the cost – This product mixed with milk saves heaps of money if you are an addict of iced coffee drinks such as Dare Expresso. The flavour is the equal if not better as one can vary it's strength by the amount one dispenses. Buying milk in bulk economically then mixing into smaller containers and refridgerating means a cost effective saving overall. A great economical tasty drink.
