Raspberry Flavored Coffee Review

A Twist on My Daily Coffee Routine

I'm a total coffee aficionado, and I've found a sweet spot in my daily routine with Monarch's coffee from Magnit.

I recently picked up a packet of Monarch's raspberry-flavored coffee - it was around 30 rubles for 15g, which I thought was a decent deal.

So, what's in this stuff?

sugar, coconut oil, glucose syrup, instant coffee powder, foaming agent (maltodextrin, emulsifier (E1450), anti-foaming agent (E551)), flavorings (contains lactose), stabilizers (E340ii, E452i), milk protein, salt, anti-foaming agent (E551), emulsifier (E481)

I brewed it with hot water, and the powder dissolved instantly, leaving a nice foam on top - just how I like my coffee.

The aroma was really nice, with a strong raspberry scent that was both sweet and tart - just what I'd expect from a raspberry flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of flavored coffee drinks, but I was curious to see what Monarch's version would be like. I usually stick to lattes without any added flavorings, but I decided to give this a try.

Of course, it's not going to taste like freshly brewed coffee, but that's not what I was looking for. This is a coffee drink, and it's meant to be a bit sweeter and milder - which is exactly what I got.

The raspberry flavor was really nice, not artificial-tasting at all - it reminded me of a raspberry-flavored chocolate I used to eat as a kid.

I tried it with some strawberry chocolate, and that was a total mistake. The sweetness was overwhelming, and it didn't taste good at all - I should've stuck to just the coffee.

One try was enough for me. I prefer my coffee black, and this drink was just too sweet for my taste. That being said, the flavor was interesting, and I won't deduct points for that.

I appreciate the effort Monarch put into creating a unique flavor experience, even if it's not my cup of tea.

Thanks for reading!
