illy Ready-to-Drink Caffè, Authentic Italian Coffee, Made with 100% Arabica Coffee, All-Natural, No Preservatives, Beet Sugar, 6.8 fl oz (Pack of 12)

I was discussing these with a friend, and she was a little put off because they are only 6.8 ounces and she couldn't sip on them throughout the morning. She also likes 5 Hour Energy. So, after thinking about it, the way I'd approach these is that they are a nice coffee version of 5 Hour Energy. There is of course more liquid here, but yes, they are pretty small. After having two of them, she decided that she liked them. :)The flavor is relatively good, given that they aren't refrigerated. I have not tried the non-sugar or non-cream kinds so I can't speak for them. I'm guessing the small amount of sugar in here cuts the bitterness of espresso. I'd be willing to try the other ones, but I want to stick to lower calorie ones, because honestly I'm not drinking this for the flavor. I'm drinking it because it's convenient and quick in the morning.I'm happy enough with it that I've been getting it as a "Subscribe and Save" item.

I have a triple shot latte habit that I just can't sustain financially. Where I live, every morning this latte costs me $5--sometimes more with tip. The illy issimo caffe drink has ~150mg caffeine, about the same as I'm used to in a triple shot, but is only $2.25/can. And the caffeine definitely does the trick--I was energized and even jittery from the first one, which never happens to me anymore! And the taste really is better than I expected from canned coffee. I added a bit of cream to it and it was especially tasty, but I could easily adapt to the taste on its own. Definitely recommended if you don't have time to make coffee yourself every morning and don't like the taste of filtered coffee, like me.

Product is solid - its a bit on the sweet side, but doesn’t upset an empty stomach and is a considerable time-saver if you aren’t a morning person. Would suggest giving it a shot, pretty inexpensive and fast shipping.

I have loved Illy espresso for years, so when I learned that it came in small, 45-calorie cans, I instantly knew it would be a great item for my first Amazon subscription. This is pure, unadulterated espresso goodness that's lightly sweetened for drinkability. It's best served chilled, but it's still very tasty at room temperature. At 155 mg of caffeine per can, it's more than enough to get most people through the day (although, sadly, one can only lasts me a few hours). And with only 45 calories, it's much less bad for you than all of the carbonated, sugary energy drink sodas.You can find the individual cans in grocery and convenience stores - give one a shot (no pun intended), then come back and order the pack for cheaper!

Very nice coffee drink! I had it over lots of ice with 1/2 & 1/2 - yummy.I loved the flavor. Nice & mild coffee (the can says "100% Natural Arabica") with not too much sugar. I like that it only has 4 ingredients - nothing in it that I can't spell LOL. I like it better than Starbucks Frappacino because it's much less sweet.I was disappointed that the cans are so small - only 6.8 ounces - but I should have read the ad more closely. Each can will make 1 glassful with ice. Note also that the can says "DO NOT SHAKE" - so let it sit for a while after UPS delivers it :).I'll buy this again - in bigger cans :)

UPDATED - I would have given these a four star, based on flavor alone. Tempting to not give it a good shaking lol but right out of the fridge, these are wonderfully convenient and pretty yummy... without a lot of added fluff (in terms of cream and flavoring, etc).The ingredients listed in the description and photographs do show the last ingredient to be Carageenan, so my bad on missing that. I deducted a star anyway because of the health risks it can bring.So I still gave it 3 stars because, comparatively speaking, considering the competition of what else is out there for canned coffee, this stuff is great.Regretfully, I am cancelling our subscription until this or another brand come out with one that loses the Carageenan.Lastly, this was delivered by Amazon and every can in our delivery was dented, not too terribly but small dents on every can, on almost every side. This was a first for us, we left packaging feedback. Hopefully just because it was delivered with other subscription items but even then, it doesn't usually happen with other canned items they send us. Counting it as an isolated event, stuff happens.Drink at your own risk! ; )*Thanks to the comment left below~ I'll be trying illy's bottled version next. Cost currently being almost double here on Amazon but, if it's Carageenan free, I think it'd be worth trying...illy Italian Espresso Style Cappuccino, 9.5 ounce, Pack of 12I'll be looking for it in stores to compare! Hopefully they'll change the canned versions next. Smile.

I have been drinking these for years. They are less calories than Frappuccino’s and less sweet tasting. I have tried almost every brand out there and this is my favorite. Downside is price fluctuation. Fluctuated even before Covid. But so does a lot of things. I make my own when price jumps too high. Really love these more!!

These espresso shots taste rancidly putrid. Even chilled over ice with loads of cream and sugar, NOTHING COULD fix the nasty ass taste. Avoid these shots and go instead for the Cafe Bustelo espresso shots instead, HUGE DIFFERENCE with taste, smooth consistency and enjoyment after pulling out of the fridge with no added cream or sugar needed for the Cafe Bustelo shots! Avoid Elli's espresso shots. They taste like fecal water.
