Nope, it’s AIO Coffee Shop.

Lotte Let’s Be Mild Coffee Drink in Can

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

This was the cheapest coffee drink I could find at Assi Super. 59 cents for 5.92 fluid ounces, plus 5 cents CRV.

Lotte Let's Be Mild Coffee Can Even with the quarter in the picture, it’s hard to accurately portray how small the can is. I vaguely remember this design from Korea, but the label here is completely in English.

“Captures the signature essence of taste and aroma from the selected coffee beans. Ultimately, tasting is comparing.”

THE COFFEE BEAN & FRESH MILK ~

Ingredients: water, sugar, skimmed milk powder, whole milk powder, instant coffee, sodium bicarbonate, sucrose, esters of fatty acid acids, coffee flavor. Contains milk.

Did you get that? It’s instant coffee and coffee flavor. Regardless, it was a refreshing drink after being thoroughly chilled in the fridge.

Nutrition Facts: Serving Size 1 can (175 ml). 75 calories per serving, none from fat. Total fat zero grams, no trans fat. Sodium 80 milligrams. Total carbohydrate 15 grams, all from sguars. Protein 2 grams. Calcium 4% percent daily values. Iron 1%. Not a significant source of saturated fat, cholesterol, dietary fiber or Vitamin A/C/D.

New Mocha con Choco from Caffe Latte

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Actually, it’s just the color of the cup has changed. It used to be green; now it’s brown! Only I with my unique expertise in Caffe Latte packaging would notice. ;)

New Mocha con Choco cup from Caffe Latte

매일 카페라떼모카 콘 초코 = Maeil Caffé Latte Mocha con Choco

Comes with a brown-tinted translucent plastic cover and brown green straw in transparent plastic sleeve that was glued to cup with golden foil lid.

Aside from the color, the Italian-themed cartoon people on the bottom half of the cup have been replaced with live, ethnically ambiguous models. Yeah, I guess this is a design improvement.

Yet the misspellings remain! Recommand [sic] used [sic] by date lid.

Same instructions: Do not use in microwave. Keep refrigerated. Though cups are being sold at room temperature… Maybe they mean refrigerate after opening.

The taste, I must admit, is still unremarkable. I can’t even tell the different variants of Caffe Latte apart. Ingredients the same:

Water, espresso coffee extract, whole milk powder, granulated sugar, Colombia coffee extract, cocoa powder, sodium bicarbonate, sucrose esters of fatty acids, cocoa mass, flavor, carrageenan

Slight change in Nutrition Facts. No more trans fat. 1 serving is 200 milliliters. 105 calories per serving, 30 calories from fat. 3 grams of total fat, 2 grams saturated. 12 mg of cholesterol. 100 mg of sodium. 17 grams of total carbohydrates. no dietary fiber, 16 grams of sugars. 3 grams of protein. Calcium content is 8% of DV.

UPC Bar Code 7 65444 10633 5. Manufactured by Maeil Dairies. Product of Korea.

The label on the cup is also translated into French. Nothing in hangul, so this must be purposely made for the American market. With CA CRV printed on the cup.

HK Supermarket had them on sale at 99 cents with $0.05 crv.
