illy issimo Caffe Product Review by ChristineMM




My Star Rating: 2 stars out of 5 = I Don't Like It

Summary Statement: Thin and Bitter



The ingredients in this product are: coffee, sugar, potassium bicarbonate and potassium citrate. It has 10 grams of sugar. Note this does not have a dairy product ingredient in it.



This is a thin consistency drink with a bold bitter coffee taste. I detect no sweetness at all, although it has 10 grams of sugar.



I like the taste of bold coffee with french roast or cofee and chickory New Orleans style or Vietnamese style coffee drinks. This was bold and strong but a thin consistency and bitter despite the sugar added.



This drink did nothing for me. I prefer a real cup of hot coffee with half and half to give it a creamy consistency, or I like a strong coffee iced coffee drink or I like an espresso based coffee drink or a frozen Frappuccino type of drink. I love strong coffee that's bold. I usually only use one sugar in a large coffee so I don't like it super-sweet by any means. This is just bitter and I rate it 2 stars = I Don't Like It.



There are other iced canned or iced bottled prepared coffee drinks, milk or no milk products that I prefer the taste of such as the ones made by Starbucks (i.e. glass bottled Frappuccino) or the little aluminum cans of espresso drinks such as Starbucks DoubleShot.
