BIZZI Drinks Cold Brew Coffee + Collagen Signature Blend, Smooth Ugandan Infused with Vitamin C & Zinc, 10g Premium Bovine Collagen, Natural Energy for Skin, Nails Joints, 12 x 250ml Cans

This is an unusual drink… I drink a LOT of typically strong coffee. This stuff is very strong! It has the flavour of plain black coffee with no added sweeteners, no fizz, or anything out of the ordinary, just plain strong coffee, at the strength I’d say of a strong espresso, perhaps. If you enjoy cold strong coffee without milk or sweeteners, then this is for you. If you dislike coffee, or don’t like your coffee strong, you might want to avoid this. It’s early days, and I’ve only tried it straight out of the can without adding anything, but I have a feeling I might have to try something else with it, maybe a syrup flavour, sweeteners or such to be able to enjoy it. Plain out of the can, I don’t like it myself but might appeal to others out there. At a price which works out to £1.71 per can, that’s not bad at all if this is your type of drink. As it goes down to personal taste preference, I can only give it a 3/5 for my views. But do give it a try if you like strong cold coffee and the ingredients are an added benefit to you.

In terms of flavor, in my opinion there isn't much to it, with the primary flavour being the coffee taste which is followed by a bit of sourness. I believe this type of drink is ideal during the long working hours days, when energy levels are dropping quickly and not much time to get them replenished. That's the time when I would open a can like this and top up some of the vitamins my body needs, which this drink contains, whilst enjoying a coffee at the same time, albeit cold. I like the fact that it also contains collagen which is known to have health benefits. For me this drink is more for work than pleasure.

Loved it!

I don't give out 1 star reviews lightly. Unless it's downright broken, unsafe, or inedible, in the case of this drink, most products have at least some value. With this drink, every single member of my household could only manage a single sip before spitting it out. The whole thing is just so bizarre tasting. It's supposed to be coffee, but I have a £1000 coffee machine in my house, and not once has it ever put out a drink which tasted like this. Incredibly bitter, with a bizarre synthetic taste. Absolutely no sweetness to it whatsoever, which is something which helps ice coffee based drinks, if the general quality of the coffee itself is poor. It's also very, very watery. It looks (and tastes) like a certain "brown" water we all excrete after a bad takeaway. If there are any positives to be made, the can design is OK. Beyond that, unless you enjoy paying £20+ for 12 cans of the foulest tasting mystery liquid known to mankind, I highly suggest you avoid it. Incidentally, I tried the other version of this drink (Vanilla) and that also tasted revolting. This is a brand to avoid, in my opinion.

The reality is that it tastes like filter coffee but a bit diluted and after having three cans I literally started to feel the extra ingredients. I cannot say that it is bad but based on my preference and taste, not the best either and I'm not sure if I would get more when I will finish all 12 because I prefer to stick to the regular black coffee that I'm having regularly. This drink is a bit fizzy and also a bit acidic because of the vitamin C that I contain but overall even though it has a lot of benefits from what I have read on the can, it is still not my favourite. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this drink and as I have said before, it is only related to my personal preference.

The drink has a strong coffee taste as you'd expect. On top of the coffee taste there is a slight saury note which I guess comes from the vitamin C. There are times when energy levels are low and I feel like I need a boost which I know coffee normally gives me but it is not always possible to stop what I'm doing and have a coffee break. I am not a huge fan of cold coffee and I am not a huge fan of energy drinks either and although the coffee might be cold, I would still rather have a cold coffee then an energy drink. Not necessarily a cappuccino with sprinkled chocolate taste but nonetheless coffee with a kick.

I don't like it and I know for a fact, I won't be buying it. Cold brew coffees are a completely different process in terms of extraction and I did try making a cold brews at home as have machine for it. This Bizzi cold brew coffee tastes massively different and not sure if this is the addition of bovine collagen (although had a ground coffee with collagen which was good!) or is it the process itself. I love my coffees very much but this one is on a watery side, first of all, doesn't have the bitterness of a regular coffee -fair enough but it has weird acidity to it which could be addition of vit C but somehow doubt it. And definitely is not strong - it simply doesn't taste of coffee for me. The good point is low carb and sugar but that's about it. Some may like it, I found it not at all enjoyable.

This is my first encounter with a cold brew and I’m kicking myself for not trying it sooner. I love coffee and this is delicious. Its not madly strong and it’s not bitter. Add in the fact that this has my daily dose of bovine collagen which at my age (55) my hair, nails, joints and skin definitely need and vitamins to give me a boost and I’m sold! It’s low calorie (thankfully) and it peps me up when I’m flagging half way through the day. I was both surprised and glad to see the absence of sugar or sweeteners. The coffee is great quality. Ugandan Arabica coffee is known for its balanced body and aroma, and I’m no connoisseur but I feel like I’ve discovered the wheel and want everyone to try it! I would definitely buy this again. It’s fairly priced and delicious, it doesn’t interfere with my current health kick, my collagen box is ticked, and it gives me a bit of va va voom when I need it. It’s fairly priced in my opinion, considering I’m now bypassing my local overpriced coffee shop.. it’s convenient, and you need to try it! I’m also pretty sure that I could make a cocktail with it… I hope you find my review helpful.
