Triple Draft Latte 11oz

We ordered the triple draft latte and were pleased with our first impression. Pros: Less sugar Good latte taste Good frothy top (be careful when opening after shaking a bit) Great price for what you get No sugary/ syrupy taste/ feel All around this is a solid and well priced choice for a daily coffee that both tastes good without the sugared up mix that many coffee drinks have. I don’t prefer the super sweet coffee drinks and this provides a good balance of taste and sweetness. We’ll be ordering more to try the other flavors and will update our reviews, if needed.

I was looking for something easy to take to work at a good price point so I'd stop buying coffee in the city. This is a good price per can making it convenient and portable. It's only 100 calories, tastes good and for being compact has 150mg of caffeine so I appreciate that good things come in small packages. I was worried that with it having dairy it arrived on a sweltering day but I put it in the fridge and have had 2. No impact in taste or negative stomach issues.

La Colombe Triple Latte is my favorite cold coffee. It's good and balanced... not too much sugar but just the right sweetened coffee and no artificial sweetener. Having noted that it remains my favorite, recently I thought I detected a bit of a change. It's slightly too much like chocolate milk and less like strong triple coffee. Now, when the can is opened there is less nitro -fizz and the product is just flatter than it used to be. I've noticed consumer comments online about how the product has changed. La Colombe's varieties used to be packaged in 9 ounce cans with a unique plastic lip guard. The lip guards were color coded according to each different variety of coffee. The lip guard was specific to the La Colombe brand and made for a one-of-a-kind sensual consumption experience. Well, no more. La Colombe switched to a lip-guardless (and cheaper I'm sure) can from the can manufacturer Ball. I wish they would bring back the old style cans! So, it's changed and not what it once was. The price varies and it now can be found "on sale" at times. It's still my favorite, but... dare I say "Make It Great Again"?

I have to agree with those who say the new version tastes good. I like it better. I only drink the La Colombe Triple Latte and not the mocha or any other flavors. The new ones say "Triple Draft Latte" on the top ring of the can and the previous version said "Triple Latte" in the little red band around the top of the can. This is the 4th version of the Triple flavor in cans that I can remember, the first ones I saw were in an all-white 9oz can with no red stripe around the top containing only 100 calories. The 2nd version I remember had a red stripe or narrow band painted around the top with no writing on it and they had red plastic lids around the top rim of the 9oz cans with 120 calories. I don't remember the other differences except the calories. The third version or what I call the prior or previous version, had no plastic tops, only the word "Triple" in the red band around the can top, 100 calories, 15g carbs, 12g sugar, and 175mg caffeine all in a 9 oz can. The 'New' or current version I received a few weeks ago looks like the previous one except it says "Triple Draft Latte" in the red stripe at the top with the words "Draft Latte" in big letters on the front label. The previous versions did not say "Draft Latte" anywhere on the can at all. The new ones have 130 cal, 18g carb, 9g sugar, and 150mg caffeine in an 11oz can. I prefer the smaller cans due to the lower cost and lower calories and carbs with slightly less caffeine, but I like the taste of the new stuff. These numbers are all from the can labels in my fridge including my last can of the old stuff. The froth seems mostly the same to me and I don't care. I also drank Pete's Black & White Iced Espresso in 8oz cans for years until sadly, they discontinued it last year. I also drink the little 6.5oz cans of Starbucks Espresso & Cream Light which tastes the best and has the lowest amount of the listed ingredients above per ounce, per serving, with 120mg caffeine per can/serving/6.5oz. I drink these over crushed ice daily after one cup of straight black coffee first thing in the morning.

I'm a huge fan of La Colombe coffee. They're best known for their draft lattes so I was very excited to find that they have these on amazon prime. Best part of finding them here is the amazon prime deal. If you order off the La Colombe site where I normally order, they charge shipping and it takes longer to receive. The triple draft latte is definitely stronger than the other latte flavors so it's on the less sweet side of the flavor profile. Personally I find the caramel way too sweet but I enjoy the vanilla and triple shot lattes.

While this might appropriate as a lower calorie latte drink, I found the flavor to be very weak and the coffee taste very light to nonexistant like a coffee shop latte watered down 4 to 1 with water. You are NOT going to be impressed if your looking for good strong coffee flavor drink that tastes like a real cafe latte.

$45 for 4 cans. Bought in Chicago for $3 a can before. Very over priced.
