SANGARIA CROWN

We’ve made it to our final canned coffee of this buying period, and another from Sangaria. I struggled to remember what else I’ve had from them, so looking back at my notes, and they’re the people that made the creamed corn milk tea! With the terrible can art! Well looking at this can they’re still using the same style of dithering and halftones to achieve gradients and shadows. And they’re using that in the art of the coffee beans on the front too, something I’m really not a fan of. I was probably too harsh back then, it truly does not matter at all, but its kind of fun to complain you know? Look at me, I’m a graphic communications graduate, I know all!

Ahem, anyway, this can is larger and far more resealable than the Sangaria’s we’ve tried before, and it marks itself as a cafe au lait which is my personal order when I want real coffee. You know that happened this morning, the damndest thing, I woke up wanting a real cup of coffee, maybe even hot coffee! I thought I could only want for the canned stuff, clearly the conditioning isn’t going as well as I had thoguht. No matter, just one more can and maybe I’ll allow myself to go get some real stuff, because darn it I’ve earned it!

After tasting its not too shabby! Theres sort of a Swiss Miss instant cocoa taste going on, probably something with the sugar. It could also be the Sacchaides that sit at the top of the ingredients list, in fact I reckon that’s the case, but it’s not an awful drink. I actually like it! It’s much better than the other Sangaria’s I’ve had, coffee and otherwise. I feel like they make a good bottled tea, though? I don’t know. Wow, this is our 45th coffee, that’s insane to me. I’ve had 45 unique canned coffees in my life at least, that’s nutty. I don’t want to say I’m an expert but I must be close, right?
