    I've been waiting for so long for this wonderful coffee. It was an absolute delight. Alright, let's dig into the details:
    Packeging: It's slick, it's elegant, it's got royal vibes. A cool royal though. It looks expensive, and it IS expensive. Amazing stuff.
    After making: I was almost bouncing after making it. It was a heavenly smell. Reminded me a little bit of the Tora Bika Cappuccino. It had mocha vibes. Really thick and creamy. Lots of foam. Loved it already.
    Taste test: Hot damn. I. FRIGGIN. LOVED IT!! It tasted exactly like a tiramisu! The slightly nutty and creamy marscarpone cheese flavour, beautifully rich coffee and the perfect hint of chocolate. It was incredible.

    Such an wonderful coffee Why is it so underrated? I read like 3/4 bad reviews about it. What a shame. I'll dig right into the details:
    Packeging: Bottle green sachet. It seems fitting for some reason. Slick and cool. It's unique out of the other packegings.
    After making: Beautiful golden hue and lots of foam at the beginning. Makes me real happy. And it had a pleasant coffee aroma. Noice.
    Taste test: Really enjoyed it a lot. It's simple, it's rich, it's absolutely delightful. There's a certain aftertaste I can't quite explain. But it's pleasant. The coffee is richer than the other variants.

    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.

    Maxim is amazing as always. It was awesome to try another one of the premium coffees the brand has to offer. With that, let's dig into the details:
    Packaging: Beautiful packaging. Love the bright pastel orange. Goes perfect with the flavour profile. Slick, elegant design.
    After making: Smooth, rich, foamy coffee. Amazing aroma of rich coffee and there's a certain butteryness. Perfect indicator of good coffee.
    Taste test: I genuinely enjoyed it. It's got the nuttyness. It has roasted nutty flavour. It's kinda milky as well. It didn't have any caramel taste though. I had to add some sugar to make it right.

    Packaging: Such a pretty sachet. The pastel light pink is beautiful. I really love the KANU series packaging. This was one of the prettiest ones.
    After making: Another standard creamy and smooth-looking coffee. Good amount of foam. Light smell of coffee and lots of creamer. It was nice.
    Taste test: Kind of a regular Joe out of the other Maxim KANU coffees I have tried so far. The coffee was stronger and had a good aroma; it was really, really milky. Which fits, I suppose. But pretty average.

    The elite coffee of the regular coffees. It was pretty darn good I'd say. And now, let's dig right into the details:
    Packaging: You can tell it's made from a different material than the regular ones. Like the KANU variants. Generally, I'll say I like the illustrations on the packaging. Simple yet cool.
    After making: The first look you get after pouring the hot water, it's simply gorgeous. It changes to little foams and little creamy after mixing it. It's nice too.
    Taste test: I enjoyed this a lot this time. The hints of spice and fragrant, little strong coffee is amazing. Perfect sweetness, and lots of creamer.

    This one's for those who loves stronger coffee. That applies to me also. Now let's dig into the details:
    Packeging: Good stuff. The vibes are perfect for arabica coffee. It's a nice design. Dark and elegant.
    After making: Beautiful aroma of the coffee sets the mood. Little to no foam. A bit darker in shade. Like an auburn brown.
    Taste test: Awesome. Love how it hits you with the intense flavour. Very minimum sweetness. Which is perfect for a strong coffee like this.

    'Maxim KANU double shot latte'

    Packaging: It's so pretty and elegant. I love the shifting of the tone to indicate a double shot. White packaging like this is superior.

    After making: Beautiful warm tone of a good coffee. Classic aroma of Maxim coffee. Cheers you up.

    Taste test: Damn this is strong. I thought I could take the double shot as a standard. But boy is it strong. Incredibly aromatic and rich and hits you in the face. Needs sugar too.

    Overall rating: 8.3/10

    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
