Java Monster\u2019s new Caf\u00e9 Latte doesn\u2019t taste new to me because the moment the liquid hit my taste buds, I felt it was a canned coffee energy drink I\u2019d had before. Maybe from Monster or Starbucks? At first, I thought it tasted like Java Monster Mean Bean. But after purchasing a can, comparing it side-by-side with Caf\u00e9 Latte, and spending the rest of the day being overly productive and jittery with 400 milligrams of caffeine pumping through my veins, it turns out they\u2019re not the same. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll let the can introduce itself, \u201cGingerbread, cinnamon dolce, peppermint white mocha\u2026your mobile app would even laugh at you for ordering that! For those of us who love their coffee the classic way comes Java Monster Caf\u00e9 Latte. Coffee forward with the right amount of cream and sugar, then supercharged with the Monster Energy blend. Coffee done the Monster way, wide open, with a take no prisoners attitude and the experience and know-how to back it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Um, wouldn\u2019t the \u201cclassic way\u201d be black? <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, think of Caf\u00e9 Latte as Mean Bean without the vanilla flavoring. The coffee taste is much more noticeable than with other Java Monster varieties, but it\u2019s still so sugary and heavy on the cream that I think those who like to mask the coffee in their drinks will be satisfied. (Raises hand) I\u2019ll gladly add Caf\u00e9 Latte to my rotation of canned coffee energy drinks because it\u2019s as tasty as any of the other Java Monster varieties, not including the Java Monster 300 line<\/a>, which I find less flavorful. Now that I think about it, I\u2019m surprised this didn\u2019t roll out when Java Monster debuted or sometime over the past 16 years since then.<\/p>\n

But my well caffeinated brain still doesn\u2019t remember what specific drink this tastes like. I found a Reddit post that says it tastes like the discontinued Java Monster Kona Blend. It could be it, but I feel I\u2019ve had it sooner than the last time I had Kona Blend, which was a long time ago. So I\u2019m guessing it\u2019s probably one of the Starbucks Doubleshot or Tripleshot energy drinks. I could find out by buying them all and comparing them, but I don\u2019t want to spend the rest of my day AND evening wired.<\/p>\n
