Today we deal with one of Beanies variant. It was honestly so surprising and unique. Therefore, let's dig into the details:
Packeging: I simply love the cute little packeging of Beanies coffee variants. This one was white, and I have a special affinity for white packaging. It's just so cute and festive with the fonts too.
After making: While I was already shocked by the blast of aroma, I got baffled once more when I saw it turn... Black? I just never thought these kinda flavoured instant coffee would have no Cremer in it. Anyways, it smelled like caramel popcorn everywhere.
Taste test: Wow. Boy was it strong. The coffee was incredibly strong, extremely bitter. I had already added some sugar but that quite didn't save it. But the flavour. Oh my god. So molassey and nutty and brittle kinda popcorn taste. Such an unique experience.
Final rating: 7.8/10

We got the classic Maxim Mocha Gold for day 1 from the lottery! Let's dig into the details:
Packaging: Classic, simple, yellow sachet that gives a familiar vibe
After making: Smoky and light coffee aroma, nice and smooth, little bit of foam
Taste test: I like this one, I really do. It's such a simple one you can enjoy everyday. Nothing special. It has a slight bitterness and little sugar in it. It's subtle and nice.

I was quite anxious about how it'd taste. I guess Beanies has a particular flavour profile for odd flavours like this. It's a good thing though. I enjoyed this one!

Really fancy name. Fancy vibes. But wasn't quite satisfactory. Especially how it didn't melt properly.

7 out of 10 mainly for uniqueness.

I was quite hyped up for this one. Things didn't turn out exactly per my expectations.

Not really impressed with this one. Another flavour that doesn't go with coffee, unfortunately . Let's get to the details first:
Packeging: Bright orange. It's perfect for the flavour profile. Cute as usual.
After making: Quite intense scent of floral something. I can't exactly call it orange. It barely had any smell of chocolate, which is surprising for Beanies. Flat texture as always.
Taste test: I must admit, the milk I added to this had some problems. It got a bit too smoked. However, the coffee itself had flaws too. It's too intense, too chemical-y. Not much coffee or chocolate.
Final rating: 6.5/10 (Sad)

Packeging: Another beautiful packeging. I don't usually like deep purple but it worked perfectly with double choc.
After making: It had a particular scent of a chocolate milkshake I had a few months back. So it was a standard chocolate drink with coffee, which is good.
Taste test: I added milk and honey. My mistake, obviously. Honey DOES not go well with anything. It absolutely messed up the flavours. So all I could taste was subtle coffee, some faint bit of chocolate and a SLAP on the face from honey.
Final rating: 7/10 (R.I.P)

Packaging: What a beautiful shade of blue! It's so adorable. I always love the Beanies Packaging.
After making: As expected, it's got the amazing scent of Hazelnuts. Such a beautiful whiff of it. After making the coffee though, it got a bit toned down and gamier. Still, this smell is superior
Taste test: Again, the aroma of these flavours are much superior to the actual taste. It was... Pretty okay. I liked it. Adding sugar helps. But it desperately needs cream. Hazelnut flavoured anything seems like a luscious dessert, and I mostly associate it with ice cream. Overall, not bad.

Packaging: Beanies coffee packaging is very cute, as always. The bright pink is adorable with the equally interesting flavour written in cute little font.
After making: They have really mastered the scents of the variants. Once again, this smells EXACTLY like two components: White chocolate. And raspberry. Brutal honesty. They should really add creamer with it. Seriously. No sugar thing is great, but it needs cream.
Taste test: As much as I had loved the smell, can't really say I felt half as much for the taste. This flavour isn't meant for coffee. I've had wild berry teas before, and they were great. But this doesn't go with coffee at all. Maybe adding cream would help. I don't have it right now. So it was just strange.

Packeging: I honestly like the bright red tone for the original. I feel like most brands use this. It looks pretty bold and important. Just how an original should be.
After making: I absolutely loved the scent. It's so fragrant. The perfect aroma for rich coffee. It really sets the mood for a good cuppa Joe.
Taste test: Don't know what happened today. It was.... Kinda bland? I swear it wasn't like that the last time. And I didn't add too much water either. It just tasted like the most basic and common instant coffee ever. Maybe my taste buds are dead?
Final rating: 7.2/10

Packaging: One of my favorites, honestly. The elegant, pristine white really makes it look elite.
After making: It has a good hue, little foam, and a faint scent of coffee and cream. Not too different from the first Maxim.
Taste test: Don't know what to say about this. It's a regular Joe. I really expected much more. It tastes like usual, normal Maxim coffee. Ehh

I'm gonna be up and front: I don't like coconuts in anything. But still, this flavour made me intrigued. Let's dig into the details:
Packeging: One of the cutest packegings from Beanies. I love the tropical design so much. The pretty shade of teal/sky blue is uplifting.
After making: Interesting scent. It had the same warm molasses kinda vibes along with the obvious coconut. Unfortunately I didn't add any dairy to it today. So it was basic.
Taste test: Didn't like it, sadly. I simply don't like coconuts. Plus, the lack of cream made it weirder and it didn't suit with the coffee.
Final rating: 6.4/10

What a lousy coffee for something with such a fancy and long name. Nope. Not recommended. Burn and dull with an unpleasant flavor.

We got a new and unique one from lottery time today. However, I was shocked. My disappointment is incomprehensible and my day is ruined. With a heavy heart, let's dig into the details:
Packaging: This was one of the centerpieces of my collection. It's a big pouch. It looks luxurious, and expensive. The cover art makes you super excited for the tempting indulgence you're about to try.
After making: Well, there was a LOT of powder inside. Even after overflowing my giant mug, it wasn't melting. It had a cocoa powder like smell, and I thought it would be good. Looked chocolatey and quite foamy. But something was off..
Taste test: It would be an understatement to call this disaster a disappointment. It wasn't coffee. Just a cheap malted chocolate drink. I couldn't finish it. Last few sips made me gag. What a sad day it was...
Final rating: 2.5/10

AIK Cheong PTSD is kicking in. What a disappointment. Just like last time. Whatever, let's dig into the details:
Packeging: Yet another fancy packaging. Awesome stuff. Quite elegant. Beautiful shade of green.
After making: Gorgeous shade of green. Looked smooth and creamy. Perfect texture. But the smell... Well... It was. Disappointing. It was like regular tea. I hate tea.
Taste test: Hated it. Absolutely hated it. Wtf was that. Milk tea??? Seriously. Did I mention I hate tea? Cause I hate tea. This is bullshit.
Final rating: -2/10
