Barista Bros Iced Chocolate, Espresso, Double Espresso Milk 500ml $1 @ Coles

1255

Update 3/11: seems to have only been a weekly special, now showing $2.65

Stock will vary between stores. These were found in the fridges near the checkouts and likely will be restocked with other drink brands once sold out

Just walked in to Coles to see these in the fridges, looked online and it's $1 on special everywhere it seems.

Apparently got a new taste I'm tempted to try out because the last tasted like shit. For $1 it's worth a punt.

Yummy cold UHT milk with additives.

Edit: seems 2 are now gone from online, but should still be $1 in store

    I'm torn
    There is a big recipe change that has outraged people, which makes me think they've changed it enough to be able to drink?
    The normal stuff is revolting, though their iced chocolate isn't that bad. Not sure how they stayed in business

    • Not sure how they stayed in business

      Because Coca-Cola Amatil is pouring in prolific amounts of money to keep it afloat. For what reason, I have no idea lol

        So it's the iced coffee version of the wnba?

    • Coca-Cola Amatil got acquired by Coca-Cola Europe so it is private now instead of being publicly listed.

      • CCEP is listed on the FTSE & the DOW

      What DOESN'T outrage people these days?

    It's not terrible, but since the change in recipe, you can bet sales have plummeted. For a UHT flavoured milk, it use to go alright. Since I tried the new flavour, haven't purchased one since. A page on FB dedicated to blokes and their milk is a fair indication many feel the same. That said, I guess if you are happy with a low sugar alternative it's probably ok.

    Literally the worst iced coffee I’ve ever tried in my life. Disgusting.

    • Pre or post March 2021? - when it seems complaints started pouring in about this "new epic flavour"

  • +4

    The old flavours were pretty bad so it was a sense of relief to see they changed the recipe for an EPIC NEW TASTE

    Epically putrid must have been what they were going for. I thought the UHT had somehow gone off they were that bad (tried the coffee and chocolate ones).

    Anyone who likes this stuff is sadistic.

      I remember I bought it on a sale a while ago and couldn’t drink past first sip. I thought it was me being fussy about the taste

  • Just tried the iced chocolate - tasted nice enough to me, unlike the Dairy Farmers 'No Sugar Added' chocolate milk, which I find has a strange aftertaste.

  • They had the 750ml option at my local store but none of the 500ml variety :(

    • My local only has large one in dairy but smaller in fridge at check outs

    Last I checked the reviews for Barista Bros, the concensus was that it was akin to tongue punching the ass-hole of a long-haul truck driver.

    • -1

      I find that extremely unlikely, but I haven't tried it myself..

  • I liked it. going to buy more.

  • The first version was horrible. I can't see how they'll improve it rhat much since it seems taste testers had dead taste buds to begin with.

    New epic taste is epic garbage. At least give people the sugar option back. The whole reason I have a chocky milk is because its a treat. I don't need them removing half the flavour for perceived sugar benefit.

    There is no better iced latte than one made with fresh espresso, fresh milk and some ice made from filtered water. I reject the wankery of "Farmers Union is the ONLY iced coffee worth buying".😛 It's still a distant second to a freshly-prepared beverage by a barista that knows how to make decent espresso.

    I hadn't even tried this stuff but, at $1.00, I figured it was time. I enjoyed it. I'd buy it again, at full price, if I was travelling and couldn't find a cafe.

    I went back and bought another six bottles to experiment with for cooking.

      This must be a South Australian thing, to me it tastes terrible.

      Sugars: 54.6g

      And yet has the most sugar.

      Agree the best iced coffee is one freshly prepared by a barista by my wallet cries when it sees one beverage is more expensive than 2L of ice break which to me is very palatable XD

      • The neg votes on this (very genuine) deal just highlight how people like to gatekeep on the experiences, purchases, thoughts, needs…and now tastebuds…of others.

        • Yeah personally think it's a bit ridiculous to neg based on opinion, don't see people who don't like asparagus downvoting that lol

          But ah well, I don't care about internet points. It's about awareness of a good deal.

      Thanks OP, I bought 3 x bottles this morning.
      It's fine for what it is.

      My 1st choice is straight iced latte from cafes (espresso, lite milk and ice).

      From the supermarkets, Hunt & Brew and Dare Cold Pressed Iced Latte (not the "Strong" one) are also good.

  • no luck at Sydney world square coles. Only 700ml in stock
