Wandering Bear DECAF Cold Brew Coffee On Tap, 96 fl oz - Extra Strong, Smooth, Unsweetened, Shelf-Stable, and Ready to Drink Iced Coffee, Cold Brewed Coffee, Cold Coffee

I love ice coffee. I have a big glass every morning. I was drinking TJ brand with a grey and red label for a couple of years and decided to look up what were the best cold brews rated. This was one of them. In fact it was rated the best and I would have to agree. This vanilla flavor is not overwhelming like you are drinking a milkshake but just enough sweetness and smoothness. It's delicious and I bought all the top rated ones to see if those kind of ratings holds true. I never put sugar in my coffee and many of these flavored coffees have a lot of calories in them like you might as well be eating ice cream in the morning. Not this brand. I also didn't think I would like this big box and pouring from the shelf in the frig. because I was worried it would be splattering on floor, but this box works fantastically. It also comes out a better price then buying smaller containers. It's expensive compared to others but well worth the $. No after taste just a delicious cold drink and I was able to get every last drop out of the box! I add a drop of 1/2 & 1/2 and then take my mini frother I got on Amazon and perfection.

The coffee itself is both strong and smooth, as advertised. Stronger than I expected, even taking that into account, so on the plus side this box is likely to last me a while. (That is in fact why I sought out a bag-in-a-box coffee: I don't drink it a lot, and I'm hoping this will last in the fridge for a while.) The mocha flavor is present, but not overpowering. As you'd expect for a product billed as having no sugar added, it's not sweet, but there's a chocolate taste, especially noticable in small sips. I find myself sweetening it, but that's fine. The coffee portion lacks the astringent flavors in some drip coffees, which is a big benefit to the cold brew that comes through here. However, the packaging still needs some work. The box I received by Amazon had been taped back together inside the undamaged shipping box I received, indicating it had already been splitting apart before being shipped to me. That tape even covered the opening you're supposed to push open to get the spout out, which required some care in cutting back but not nicking the bag. Given the delamination here, I'd say the cardboard in the box is not quite as sturdy as you'd see in a boxed wine, or even the Amazon shipping box. It would be fine for picking up from a grocery store, but it seemed to have trouble holding up to Amazon's handling. I don't know where the blame lies here specifically, but since this is an Amazon review, I've taken off a star anyway: it's a good product, but the packaging seems risky for something I'm going to put in my fridge for weeks. If you don't care about the aesthetics and can take a bit of time to open the box, you'll be rewarded with some solid coffee, though.

tastes good, but a little expensive for the volume.

I don't normally write reviews but this is SUCH GOOD COFFEE. It's hard to be a decaf drinker because there are so few options available. Literally not a single decaf iced coffee in the refrigerator section of stores, and rare for coffee shops to have decaf iced coffee unless you want an americano (which I sometimes don't). I've been brewing my own for a long time and that works fine, but I saw this for sale while I was searching for something else and tried it on a whim. I'm obsessed. It tastes perfect, doesn't take up much fridge space, and will last long enough that I'll be able to drink it all before it goes bad. I'm seriously just so happy!

This coffee tastes great. One of the smoothest, if not the smoothest pre made cold brews I've drank before. I usually drink it in a small glass black with a few ice cubes. It doesn't taste sweet or bitter. Just right. The convenience of the box with the tap is great. No mess. The only negative I have is the price. For the record I did not pay full price for this and I don't think anybody should. For the full price of close to $40, you could go to your local grocery store and buy 4x the amount of coffee. Sure it won't have the fancy tap but honestly the price they are asking is highway robbery. If they knocked the full price down to around $20, I would consider buying it again because it really is good coffee. Try it once if you really feel like splurging on something, otherwise just buy anything else. Small edit: I was contacted by customer support for this item and offered a refund as they saw I was unsatisfied. I appreciate the offer and them reaching out but ultimately my thoughts on the item stay the same.
