Shelf-stable 8 oz can with 140 mg caffeine and 50 calories: a lightly sweet, strong cold brew that lives in a bag, not the fridge.
High Brew calls this its crowd-pleaser: cold brew with a splash of milk and a touch of cane sugar in an 8 oz can, retort-processed so it stays shelf-stable. Each can has 50 calories, 7 g of sugar and 140 mg of naturally occurring caffeine. It is a convenient pantry or desk-drawer caffeine hit rather than a café-style latte.
Best for
- Desk-drawer or gym-bag caffeine
- Road trips without a cooler
What we like
- Shelf-stable: no refrigeration needed until opened
- 140 mg caffeine in a compact 8 oz can
- Only 50 calories and 5 g added sugar
- Available direct and on Amazon
Watch-outs
- Few recent independent reviews
- Small 8 oz serving
- Little sourcing transparency
