illy Ready To Drink Cappuccino

Well, the good thing about this bottled drink is that it doesn't have the weird apparently metal taste of the canned illy drinks, which was really terrible. Instead, this just tastes like a sweet, milky packaged drink, which is a big upgrade. The negative is that there isn't much coffee flavor, and it's like 140 calories for a fairly small bottle without that much ~buzz~. That said, the taste is pleasant, even good, and it's definitely convenient and even resealable, so I'm a fan. It's no fresh Dunkin brew, but it'll do.

Illy - cappuccino

This was OK, but ultimately disappointing because it had a very weird can flavor to it, like sour metal. I was hoping it would taste like coffee only, and not like can. It did have a little sugar added as well, which was nice, but the sharp can flavor was hard to avoid. I don't remember if the non-flavored one had this problem, but I don't think it was this strong. Sad.

illy caffé unsweetened

Coffee in a can? What will they think of next!

I like illy brand coffee-coffee quite a lot, so I was optimistic for this. And for coffee in a small, warm can, it's pretty decent. There's no milk or sugar or flavoring or anything, so it really is just some tepid coffee. If you want coffee on the go, here you go. There's a little metal aftertaste, and it's nowhere near as good as actual brewed coffee (of course), but I do like it much better than the starbucks/DD/etc prepackaged drinks I've tried, so there's that. Plus this is very stylin' and lo-cal.




Overall
Cost: 5/10 (about 2$ for 6.8oz can)
Taste: 7/10
