Cafe Au Lait

Great tasting coffee

Tastes great! Brought back memories of the cafe au lait that I'd buy from the vending machines in Japan. It's a little on the expensive side, but just about everything is these days and it is coming from Japan. Would recommend!!

Fantastic canned coffee. Worth the price. Nothing else comes close.

Love this coffee. Amazing taste. I wish they came with larger amount of cans.

BOSS Cafe Au Lait is a wonderful chilled coffee, with just the right amount of everything. This isn't as sweet as most of your syrupy drive through or gas station iced coffees, but it isn't particularly "strong" enough to discourage people who like flavor with their coffee. It's a really good blend of both. It's creamy, its sweet enough to take some of the bitterness of a strong-ish coffee away, but has an unchalleneged coffee counterpunch to still remind you that what you have is a coffee, and not a dessert. I tried both the Cafe Au Lait and the Vanilla, and though both were good (and will get equal ratings from me), I definitely find myself preferring the Cafe Au Lait. Not sure if it's because I prefer the flavor, or just have a bias knowing it is their "signature" flavor. Either way, really solid product. I believe they have changed the packaging since some of the prior reviews. I saw a review or two complain about bad packaging and crushed cans, I experienced none of that! The coffee came in little square, thick cardboard boxes. Each can nestled in it's very own little carboard compartment inside of the box. The cans themselves are extremely thick. This isn't your crush with a flick of the wrist cola can, it is a solid piece of metal (and also a bit deceiving as the weight of the can makes you think you still have coffee left even when your done!). These are definitely recyclable, and out of the 2 boxes I order I only has 1 or 2 cans with very minor denting. Very, very minor. I actually liked the boxes so much with the little compartments, I kept them for the garage so when I am working on my car(s), I can drop certain items in the compartments to keep them organized or safe. My lone gripe is one that is subjective, so it may not even be entirely fair for me to take a star off, but I do think the price is high for what it is. The cans are not huge, and break out to over $2 a piece. I think a more reasonable price would be between $1.75 - $2 a can, especially since you essentially have to buy in "bulk". But I get it is an imported novelty product that has some mark-up. Overall I am happy with my purchase and plan to buy more in the future.

This is the first time ordering this brand, I’m not I have ever seen or heard of the company. As for canned coffee, this has truly opened my eyes, and my mouth. I can honestly say, I’ve only ordered the Café au lait thus far, it is BY FAR the best flavor. I have a walking disability so our kitchen being downstairs, I hate having to ask family or visiting friends for coffee…canned coffee is what I’ve turned to ordering. I actually favor my coffee cold, for the most part of my life, I can recall being a toddler and my aunts/grandparents pouring their hot coffee into a high ridged plate so I could wait for it to cool off cause I would pester them for their coffee haha. 40yrs later I’m still consuming my coffee cold (room temp, or chilled in my small fridge. Wow. I don’t believe I have ever “commented” highly praising something I’ve purchased from Amazon. But WOW this has truly moved me to do so!!! Could be the caffeine content hahahaha but my fingers and my brian just had to sing Boss’ praises!

I love BOSS coffee. Used to buy it in bulk from a local Japanese grocery store. They stopped selling the Japanese black cans and replaced them with these. They’re roughly the same price but I get more of them at a time on Amazon. The Café au lait is a very sweet, but I’m okay with it. It’s unfortunate that it costs so much, since I practically live off of the stuff. I recommend this coffee to people all the time, but they’re all very hesitant to try it because of the high price point. Over all, it’s great coffee, but if you enjoy it as much as I do, you might end up spending way more on this than you would on other coffee.

This stuff tastes awesome. It’s made in Japan and tastes the same to me as the ones purchased there. I would seriously doubt they’d make two, slightly different, tasting drinks when I’m sure they’re made in the same place as the drinks sold there. For me these are best served and tasting when they’re ice cold. I think the colder they are the more the coffee taste comes through. I definitely prefer these over Sbux canned coffees. Some have had packaging issues I guess, but mine came in a tightly sealed box of 12 with cardboard dividers between the cans and they were all perfect. Not sure if some had issues with the delivery people dropping them or just inadvertent bumps during the shipping process to get some denting on the cans. I’ve only purchased these once so far here in the States, but it also came in a large box with a 12 pack of Ito En iced tea so that may have helped with having no damaged cans. I’ve added some pics of how mine came. Enjoy!
