Posted on September 22, 2022 | Last updated February 2, 2025

Released in 2022, this new addition to the JAVA MONSTER series brings a rich flavor experience with its nitro infusion and cold brew latte.

Until now, most coffee energy drinks from North America have been overly sweet, lacking the true coffee flavor. However, the Cold Brew series offers a more authentic and enjoyable coffee energy experience, letting you savor the genuine taste of coffee.

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 8,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of JAVA MONSTER COLD BREW LATTE

When I open the can, a sweet and roasted latte aroma spreads. The color looks just like the regular JAVA MONSTER series, so it doesn't appear any different. Let's try it right away.

As I take a sip, I can enjoy a perfectly balanced blend of coffee and milk, just like a regular latte!

It might sound strange to say it's "regular," but when you think about how overly sweet the previous JAVA series was, which completely overshadowed the taste of the coffee, this COLD BREW series latte has a rich coffee flavor, and it's actually really delicious.

The "JAVA MONSTER COLD BREW SWEET BLACK" that was released at the same time is best enjoyed with ice, but with the COLD BREW LATTE, adding ice causes the rich coffee flavor and its umami to dissipate, and the milk becomes too strong, so I think it's best enjoyed at a chilled temperature, not with ice.

Energy Ingredients of JAVA MONSTER COLD BREW LATTE

It contains 200mg of caffeine, taurine, maltodextrin, inositol, and carnitine.

JAVA MONSTER COLD BREW comes in a 500ml can, but it only contains 400ml inside.

Be careful not to mistakenly shake it thinking you're going to use the "100ml of space"—since it's not carbonated, if you shake it, it can burst out unexpectedly. Even if you don’t shake it, sometimes internal pressure can cause gas to escape, so make sure to open it carefully.

The black, glossy can and the beautiful brown resembling leather look stunning, and the gold Monster Energy logo adds a touch of luxury. It looks great in photos, but doesn't it just look way too cool?

At the bottom of the can, there is a label that emphasizes the coffee quality. However, after trying it, I felt that this label wasn't exactly accurate, so it's more of a decorative touch than anything else.

There is also a retro and stylish seal design printed, shaped like the Monster Energy logo. It gives a sophisticated, adult-like vibe and I really love this luxurious design.

However, I didn’t see this much in the U.S... Personally, I would prefer if they expanded this line rather than the regular JAVA MONSTER series.
