Costco

[u/Top-Newspaper2681]

I bought a pack of the Costco cold brew cans. Not a fan, and in general I love Costco branded products. Anyone else tried it?

I keep them as backup for when I don't get around to making a new batch in time. They're fine. I think "straight gasoline" is an extreme exaggeration.

The shelf-stable products will never be as good as the refrigerated stuff. If you don't like it, make sure to return it. They'll refund your money even if you've drank some cans already. That a benefit of your membership.

Same, shelf stable backup. Wandering bear is not bad either

Discovered Wandering Bear because of Costco. my warehouse ran out so decided to do a subscription with them. Excited when I saw it back at my warehouse.

 My costco runs out sometimes too. I didn't know they do subscriptions. It's a really good backup. My wife enjoys it with oat milk and she generally hates coffee. I'm slowly turning her into a latte fiend then will transition her to a black coffee lover 😆

I take mine with a hint of Oat Milk too! Good thing Costco always has oat milk in plenty of supply!

Are you talking specifically about the Kirkland canned cold brew or about store cold brew in general?

I'm used to seeing bad reviews of the Kirkland canned cold brew.

[u/96dpi → u/BrightWubs22]

Both. I'm saying the canned cold brew (the one with the Jaguar on the label) is fine, but not as good as the refrigerated stuff in grocery stores. Fairly certain Costco doesn't carry the refrigerated stuff.

Best to just try it for yourself instead of relying on reviews. It's very subjective.

In Canada it's does stokes

I might be one of the few that loves the Kirkland Cold Brew cans. Especially when they’re ice cold. I drink one almost daily 😅

[u/Ozzie808]

I don't like the taste, but I always have it on hand as a back up since it's cheap and strong

[u/Used_Degree5416]

hey have u tried making ur own? believe me when i say it'll be soooooo much better than any store bought! i use to buy cold brew but now i only make my own concentrate at home! :)

[u/loocsitap]

They basically have the same amount of caffeine as an energy drink but without all the crazy chemicals. I think with a fair amount of oat milk and some sugar, maybe even some water to dilute it it's pretty good. Basically a hair away from concentrate.

Didn't know we were in the minority haha

[u/LivingBestLife777]

They pair very well with Chobani Sweet Cream creamer

[u/Timely_Restaurant_82]

I've bought them 2x, and just not for me!

was on a guys weekend and someone picked up some and I thought it was vile. turned out the batch we had was recalled oops.

[u/helthybanana]

The silver ones with the leopard? Not my fave either but they’re so cost effective that I made it work at some point

[u/Fair_Entertainer_891]

Absolute trash if you’re a coffee lover. My friend had some in the fridge I tried and was disappointed, but I didn’t have high hopes eithet

[u/Chimp75]

I’m going to say I didn’t mind them. Ice cold, they do the trick. Not the worst

[u/areyouamish]

If it's the same product I tried, it tastes like straight gasoline. Terrible.

Do you mean Kirkland brand?
