We are now firmly buckled into the era of all things canned. From canned cocktails to canned wine and now to coffee — brands are turning to portable, ready-to-drink cans as the modern form of convenience. Think creamy nitro cold brew, CBD-infused coffee, and futuristic snap-chilled coffee. Canned coffee is our favorite means of caffeinating. Here are seven standout brands to try.
Elemental Beverage Co. Single Origin Sampler (6-Pack)
Elemental Beverage Co. Single Origin Sampler (6-Pack)
Using a pretty damn groundbreaking snapchilling process that makes hot, freshly brewed coffee ice-cold in a matter of minutes, Elemental Beverage Co.'s canned coffee is kind of a revelation.
This sampler pack includes three single-origin coffees sustainably sourced from Ethiopia, Colombia, and Burundi, and the tasting notes for each are more nuanced than some wines we've tasted.
BOSS Flash-Brewed Coffee by House of Suntory (12-Pack)
BOSS Flash-Brewed Coffee by House of Suntory (12-Pack)
We may be slightly obsessed with House of Suntory's tasty Japanese spirits (especially their whisky), but right now we're drooling over their canned coffee. Flash-brewed means it's brewed hot, then chilled super fast to maintain maximum flavor. This canned coffee provides a very welcome kick in the ass in the morning.
RISE Brewing Co. Original Black Nitro Cold Brew Coffee (12-Pack)
RISE Brewing Co. Original Black Nitro Cold Brew Coffee (12-Pack)
Organic, sustainably sourced, and free of any harsh chemicals or additives, New York City-based brand RISE Brewing Co.'s Original Black Nitro Cold Brew has a beautiful cascading pour and deliciously smooth taste. When it comes to canned coffee, this is a serious game-changer for your morning grind.
La Colombe has released quite a few bangers in the ready-to-drink canned coffee space, but their O.G. Draft Latte is hands-down our favorite. With the flavor and texture of an icy-cold latte complete with foamy nitrogen-infused milk, this canned coffee is creamy, delicious, and so convenient.
Italian espresso brand illy knows a thing or two about damn delicious coffee, and their line of ready-to-drink canned coffee is no exception. Made from 100% Arabica coffee without any added flavors or preservatives, hormone-free milk, and just a touch of non-GMO beet sugar, this is coffee you can feel good sipping.
Good Day CBD Cold Brew Coffee (7-Pack)
Made with a balanced blend of Fair Trade organic coffee beans, 15 milligrams of CBD from hemp extract, and just a touch of water, Good Day coffee provides a boost of energy minus the jitters. We kind of think every coffee should have CBD in it ... just saying.
High Brew Black & Bold Cold Brew Coffee (12-Pack)
High Brew Black & Bold Cold Brew Coffee (12-Pack)
High Brew uses 100% direct-trade Arabica beans that are slow-roasted to perfection for each batch of their conveniently canned coffees. These come in all sorts of tasty flavors — like Mexican Vanilla, Salted Caramel, and Dark Chocolate Mocha — but our personal favorite is the dairy-free Black & Bold.
