Don't get me wrong, I'm not a major drinker of Starbucks products, but these cans of espresso are perfect to keep by my desk when I'm in desperate need of coffee and don't have the time to run upstairs to brew some. The taste is smooth, no harsh aftertaste, and is the perfect size to stash in my purse when I'm in a hurry. They're also wonderful to hide in my husband's backpack when he heads to work. I say hide because he's not a major coffee drinker, but if I run out of my backup stash then I always have a hidden spare. Sometimes I forget I bought a 12 pack and order another. Then I'll eventually find the first pack buried somewhere near my work desk. This is a good thing as it makes sure that I will always have espresso somewhere (so long as I know where I left them). Taste: 5/5 Size: 5/5 Packaging: 5/5 Yeah, I'll keep getting these so long as they're produced.

Taste is amazing. Perfect taste and texture for the drink.

The packaging is sleek and modern, reflecting Starbucks' branding. Small and easy to carry, they are perfect for on-the-go consumption. The design includes essential information about the product, including the type of espresso, ingredients, and nutritional facts. The pull-tab makes it easy to open, and the can itself is recyclable, aligning with Starbucks' sustainability efforts. One of the biggest points of Starbucks espresso shots is convenience. Ready to drink. The primary ingredients include brewed Starbucks espresso, water, and natural flavors. Some variations may include sugar or sweeteners to balance the bitterness of the espresso. Each typically contains around 150 mg of caffeine, equivalent to a standard double shot of espresso. The calorie count is relatively low, making it a guilt-free option for those watching their intake. Priced higher than typical canned coffee beverages, Starbucks espresso shots justify the cost with premium positioning and quality. While it may not be the most economical choice for daily consumption, it offers good value for those who prioritize taste, convenience, and brand reliability.

These are absolutely my favorite, stong flavor energy booster. The price is great, everywhere else around me I'm paying almost $4 per coffee. So the price on Amazon is way better! The caffeine in the convenient size espresso is a perfect helper to my day.

After years of trying various versions of this small, canned Doubleshot, I’m staying with the Light version for a number of reasons: 1. Consistent flavor. Try ordering an Iced Shaken Espresso (formerly known as a Doubleshot) at more than one Starbucks, and you’ll get two different-tasting drinks. 2. Consistent texture. Even versus other flavor variations in this line of canned coffees, the Light is the only one without lumpiness or particles settled at the bottom. 3. Price. At the time of this writing, each can is about $1.65-1.70, versus $5-6 at a Starbucks. Sometimes I think that “I worked hard, I deserve someone to make me a $5 coffee…” but I don’t feel that way if I know I have a better coffee waiting for me in my fridge for a fraction of the price! 4. Great on the go. When I need to vaporize cobwebs in my head fast, or to stay awake for a long stretch of driving or working, this is very dependable. Highly recommended for all these reasons. I hope it helps you, too!

Okay, full disclosure—this is just my personal taste! Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to coffee. I wasn’t a huge fan of the aftertaste from the sucralose in this Starbucks coffee. The coffee itself is decent, but the artificial sweetness lingered a little too much for me. If you're sensitive to sweeteners like sucralose, you might want to skip this one. But if that doesn't bother you, it could still be worth a try!

My go to drink at 2pm when I'm feeling that drowsy feeling. It's on the sweet side but it's the perfect amount when you need that extra pick me up. Also, it's great in the morning especially if you live in a hot area.

I was drinking Starbucks' Nitro Cold Brew with Sweet Cream but it looks like that's OOS (like forever) so I bought this and another product. Not a bad substitute at all for the Cold Brew and the Espresso and Cream turns out to be somewhat less expensive on Subscribe and Save (which was never available for the Sweet Cream product for some reason). I'll probably be ordering this product from Amazon in the future to replace the Nitro products.
