Hi Morgan !
I am Janki. I am 13 years old.
I have recently started a coffee cafe in my village . Which is 200 km from Mumbai.
I am following you on youtube channel & insta page regularly.
You are the biggest inspiration for me ! I know your Favourite drink is mocha .☕
Whenever you wil be in india please visit our cafe .
Love you Morgan.
Hello. You are so pretty ! I would like to drink the coffee with you. I never been to the US. In which state can we meet?
Can You do a video of copy cat of pink drink?

❤️❤️❤️
@@jyotsnasurwade4245 You startet a cafe?! Damm, respect!!
Imagine how much energy Morgan had after this
Too much
Then she crashed harder than a test pilot 😮🤣
Did you see how much energy she had before she tried the coffees
She heard colors
the chameleon cold brew concentrate is good but i could only find it at whole foods
You also accidentally proved how bad food labeling is. Imagine someone whose diabetic or lactose intolerant accidentally picking one of those us. Also feel bad if someone was vegan .
It’s happened and it sucks. Sitting on the toilet for an hour and then reading the back and getting annoyed at myself for not reading the back
isn't that what the ingredient list is for.
@@kellz6266 I mean sugar & milk is a different topic when you’re going to buy bottled cold brew “original” & “unflavored” is false advertisement is there is milk and sugar present.

@@Sweet_peachhh be quiet
“Its almost iced coffee season!”
Ma’am I am a h*mos*xual, iced coffee is a year round thing for us
What? Since when is that a thing?
As a part of the alphabet mafia, I can confirm
I haven't drank as much hot coffee as I have this year staying at home, it's definitely a year round need.
Confirmed! 🤣 thought I drink it more during warmer months
As a gay barista, I can concur. It could be snowing out and I'd still want an iced coffee.
I just wanna say “Why dafuq is there milk in this?!” is an old vegan adage 🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Can confirm as a lactose intolerant. They always get you with the dairy
@@calebk7545 that's why I'm loving this new Oat Milk trend, it's tasty stuff too
@@yoshikagekira1719 I’ve tried chocolate oat milk and it’s very good
@@yoshikagekira1719 try soy milk too!! It's tasty and can add a lot of healthy fats / protein!! That was my preference when I was vegan...
As a vegan I died laughing at you seeing there’s skim milk in the small label, sneaky indeed, i still get tricked sometimes😂
I am allergic to milk and many other things so tiny writing like that is the bane of my existence!
@@jasmirris thats such a bullshit tactic from corps :/
Not a vegan but milky coffee doesn't work for coffee and orange soda. I only get clear bottles.
As Ron Swanson said, skim milk is the worst. It is water that pretends to be milk.
also vegan. there’s always milk or milk powder in things that have no business having dairy in them!!
Morgan, I just want to say: thank you for making coffee so approachable! I'm a barista and I'm always a little bit sad whenever someone is intimidated by all of the choices available rather than feeling excited about the possibilities for trying new things. I love coffee and you make it so welcoming! Thank you again; I love your videos so much!
I am a sad person who is scared of Starbucks and other coffee shops because Idk how to order something I'll like!
@@michellehasty1038 aww it's okay to not know what you'd like to try! That's why we (baristas) haven't been replaced by robots (yet). If you're feeling brave enough to go to a cafe, you can tell your barista that you're new to the coffee shop and aren't sure what to order; they should help you out! It helps us if you say what kinds of things you like/are interested in trying: something hot, something coffee-based/tea-based, something chocolatey, etc. I hope this helps! [:
La Colombe runs the grocery store cold brew section with that bottle. And their canned lattes too!
I used to buy Stok, but once I tried La Colombe, I can't drink anything else. In comparison, Stok tastes like plastic to me. So weird! Pleased to see Morgan is a fan too
@@hw7348 I've had Stok once when I was on vacation for our Airbnb. You know, to try something new. I did not like it at all. It tasted really weird to me almost like cardboard.
I knowwww, I'm really bummed that la colombe isn't in the grocery store near me. I had it once and now I can't go back to the canned Starbucks stuff
"post cream test" is what im going to call pregnancy tests from now on
oh gOD lmaooo
This is my favorite comment of all time
brilliant
Lol noo
😂😂😂
I could actually watch the whole video in one sitting (except for my break to grab my own Starbucks cold brew). I’m realizing I’ve either become a coffee person or your video was very well orchestrated. Maybe both. Thanks for the amazing video!
That means the world to me, thank you!
I watched this on 2x speed and it was even more chaotic than usual 🎷🎷
I watch all of her videos at 2x speed and I love it lol
@@lizzardmcguire929 iconic
I’m not sure I could handle that much concentrated positivity. It really needs a 1:1 dilution for me.
I tried Stok after watching this. I was really surprised how smooth it was for being strong. I loved it. I would normally have to put sugar and creamer in but not with this one. Great "diet" coffee if you're trying to quit sugar.
Same!
Stok is super weak to me. Not strong at all imo
I keep Stok black in my fridge for days when I don't have any spare energy to brew something. I add cream and sugar as needed.

So I'm Muslim and fasting for Ramadan right now and I'm living vicariously through you because I miss my coffeeeeeee. Thank you for the content !!! 😍
Heyy fellow muslim sis here too!
Omg a fellow Muslim here too
Hope you are enjoying it again :)
#StōkGang
I discovered stōk because I needed to save money from drinking too much coffee at local shops.
Stōk allowed me to survive nursing school lol glad to see it make the finals!
My college cafeteria has a tap of the stōk coffee and it got me hooked on it 😂
plain Stōk + splash of creamer = PERFECTION
Stōk is so good, with part almond milk and part hazelnut *actual* nondairy creamer from Califia, and some stevia packets, and *chef’s kiss*.
@@laurentucker5444 damn lucky!! I’d study there all day and night!
Same, minus the nursing school. I was looking for something to get me through my shifts going massage. Stōk is my favorite cold brew I've found so far.
Me watching this with 4 of the big bottles of stok in my fridge 😂
Saaaaame

@@Enoch001 damn got me beat
I only have 2 at any one time. Mostly because that is all there seems to be at the store when I go there. I am also sad because I prefer Bold, but I finding it anywhere offline is like trying to win the lottery.
is stok sweet?
I was rooting for La Colombe because my grocery store has that one specifically and I've been wanting to try it 😂
I mean nothing was stopping you before :) try all the coffee!
@@TwoToneSoldier you have a point!
Their cold brew lattes are amazing!
I was so excited that La Colombe ended up being your favorite! It’s a staple in our fridge & honestly one of my fave iced coffees out there! Also very affordable 💯🙌🏻
The year is FLYING by! At least we have Morgan to help us keep track of time.
Something I've noticed that is severely lacking in premade coffees at the store is decaf versions. I don't understand why decaf pre-made ice coffee just doesn't seem to be a thing. *screams internally because I can't drink normal coffee*
Apparently, if you just brew hot decaf coffee, let it get to room temp, and then freeze it, you have iced coffee
Even decaf coffee has some caffeine in it. They beans go through a chemically treated process to remove the caffeine, but it cannot get rid of all of it.
Because cold brew coffees are steeped for very long periods of time there is more of the oils and compounds leached out from the beans, which leads to the stronger flavor and caffeine levels. Thus in decaf beans, that should lead to leeching the remaining caffeine and any traces of the chemicals used to treat it.
I would assume that either the flavor is terrible, because of the chemical treatment of the beans, or it is still too caffeinated to call it "decaf".
Probably because it doesn't sell as well
As a fellow decaf drinker here is my advice, make cold brew concentrate using decaf ground coffee. My recipe, 80g ground decaf coffee, 3 cups water. Mix. Leave in the fridge overnight or all day. Then filter it out using a coffee filter in a sieve with a jug underneath and store in the fridge for about a week max. However I have no idea how much caffeine will be in it FYI so dont trust meeeee
Decaf is worse for you...
This has nothing to do with the video but i love your hair! it’s so cute
Thank you!
The La Colombe cold brew in the blue packaging (medium dark roast Brazilian coffee) is 10 times better than the one in the yellow packaging
Yellow packaging is sooooooo soooooo good! I’ll try blue one though- thanks to u.😊
I tried the Stok mocha cold brew the other day (which has milk/cream blended in) and really liked it! 🎷
🎷🎷🎷
As a proud Philadelphian, I'm very satisfied that you liked La Colombe the most! Not to go toooo hipster but... I liked their coffee before they went national!
David Bowie's obituary noted that he went to the one on Lafayette near where he lived. Soho, Manhattan, not Philadelphia though.
YES I love the store in center city!!😭
Yes they always marketed at temple university
I love the Califia Cold Brew!! When I first tired it I thought it had almost a meaty flavor, but rounded out nicely once I paired it with almond milk lol BTW Morgan I love how thorough your reviews are :) keep it up!
Same I also love it! :3
I really like Califia. I picked up Stok today because my store was out of Califia, and I haven’t had the Stok in a while. I think Califia has a deeper flavor. I almost bought the La Calombe, I’ll give it a try next week for sure
I am waiting for their pumpkin spice latte with almond milk to come back !!! its one of the only iced coffees i like!
As someone in the Boston area, I don't think I've ever met someone who has never been to Dunkin's. Hell, I was at Dunkin's twice today
Ha, that’s awesome! While there are some on the west coast, there aren’t any anywhere near me unfortunately!
I’m from Boston as well. And since dunkins is every five feet here I assumed it was like that every where!
@@morgandrinkscoffee My 15 minute drive from work-daycare-home, I drive by 3. It's super inconsistent but I drink it anyway on the days I need drive-through
I’m in Maine and we go there all the time
@@jillgerace7637 yeah and it's literally every 5 feet. You can say meet me by the dunkies across from the dunkies next to the gas station with a dunkies in it and that's still like 300 locations nearby.
Did anyone else notice the audio blip at 9:30 (ish)?
Not gonna lie, I have been scared to try cold brew coffee from the store because I wasn't sure if I would like it. I usually like to add a decent amount of sugar and cream into my coffee but I really appreciate you adding cream to them and tasting it aswell in comparison! I now feel a little more confident about which one I might like! Thank you Morgan~
@@nadaso8819 That’s good to hear! Any additional suggestions? Will be going grocery shopping in a few days, so it’s the perfect time!
Unfortunately we don't have this much variety of black cold brew/iced coffee in supermarkets here in the UK, but luckily a few months ago Califia Farms started selling their black cold brew coffee here!
We've never had anything like this available in our shops here, and I can confirm it's very nice when I don't feel like making a batch of cold brew myself. Glad to hear it's one of your top recommendations too :D
Morgan can you review K-cups? I know it’s like taboo lol but it’d be nice to see what the best k-cup would be especially for on the go or to see if there’s any that are as close in quality as a regular espresso or drip coffee!
The reusable kind.
I recently bought a Nespresso Essenzia Mini for $149 and it's hands down much better than any Keurig I've tried but just as convenient. The Original Line pod patent expired so you can get 3rd party pods for comparable prices to Keurig. If you like drip coffee, though, the Vertuo line is much more versatile, just a bit more expensive and the "espresso" not made via pressure.
Of Keurig, though, my favorite is properly Gevalia
@J H green Mountain coffee is the same people as Starbucks
@J H Starbucks also uses professional quality equipment that you don't have at home as well as tons of sugar.
The finalists were all cold brews...🤔 so Morgan definitely has a “type” 😊
7:17 the way she was so offended by that 😂 tbh I don’t blame her!!
thank you for validating my thoughts on blue bottle canned coffees. they are so so intense, i think it"s near impossible to drink out of a can without adding something to it.
10:37 me, seeing adult life.
Amazing video 🤣 I wonder how much sleep did you get after shooting this
Absolutely none 😭
0:22 OMG THAT'S WHY YOU'RE FAMILIAR!! THE TINY TIKTOK LATTES
Woaw, i didnt know MorganDrinksRanch had a coffee channel
*the more you know*
Ikr? Waiting for that Hidden Valley sponsor honestly
@@morgandrinkscoffee yeah, i mean, gotta do something while waiting, so why not start making content about coffee?
Any time something says "beverage" on it, it has sugar added. Like "Juice beverage" is not juice, it's sugar water. So "Coffee beverage" = not just coffee.
As someone who likes sweet coffee in the morning but something different in the afternoon you’re reviews are so helpful. This encourages me to try some different brands.
Stok has a new bright and mellow, I'd love to see your thoughts on it!
I can tell you mine for what its worth.
I hate it lol. Its really sharp and punchy. I like other stok cold brews a lot but that one almost tastes sour. Adding cream barely helped.
I literally came back to this video looking for a different brand to try next time.
seeing mechanical keyboard nerds and coffee nerds together makes me really happy :)
my iced coffee is instant coffee, milk, caramel syrup, sugar, ice. because its simple, and i dont have a sophisticated enough palette to tell the difference between types of coffee
La Colombe is one of my favorite Trader Joe’s finds and idk I feel kinda proud that it was picked as the best
This was your first taste test that I could personally relate to (in the Midwest we have different fast food and gas stations) and I felt honestly so affirmed. 😂 I have tried a bunch of bottled coffees and have found Stok was consistently good. And now I have a couple more to try! 😊
This was a great vid. The Stok one has Natural Flavors added (chemical) so that may have swayed your taste palette unfairly. Califia & Colombe are just water & coffee. Either way , i drink both Colombe & Califia often since they’re at my local grocer so hooray for me ! Lol. I also ordered the Bizzy cold brew ground bags today from Amazon to try and make my own CB at home.
Hey! Can you elaborate on Stok having chemically added flavors?
Stock is definitely my favorite, especially the Extra Bold flavor (purple label) if you can find it.
stok unsweetened is my favorite - it comes in big bottles where i am. they even have extra bold or "barely sweetened"
Oh, yay! Stok coffee is my absolute favorite, it is so smooth and sweet. Glad to see it was in your top 3! ☕
Also, love the vibe on the video. I feel like I am in a cozy coffee shop 😆
ice coffee is my favorite !! I drink it all year ....even in a blizzard ....have a great day!
Living in south Florida, iced coffee is a year round, daily thing. I typically use concentrates, for both the control I have over strength, and the typical price advantage. (They don’t have to ship the water!)
I started with Chameleon concentrate, but have since moved to Cool-Brew, out of Metairie, LA. It has some chicory in it, so I’m not sure it would qualify for your test. I love it because of the ease of measuring, and it’s smooth flavor.
I don’t think I’ve seen LaColume in our local markets, but I’m going to give Stok a try!
I was shocked she didn't like Chameleon but I realized it wasn't concentrate. Their concentrate in the glass bottle is next level.
coolbrew mocha is amazing! But its getting harder to find (used to be at every publix)
Stok is my favourite but i usually make my own cold brew out of instant coffee....thanks for sharing Morgan have a wonderful day
Having a snack, taking a nap, and having a good rest of my day would be absolutely heavenly. It will never happen, though.
In any case, I too enjoy the La Colombe cold brew from my supermarket. It's reasonably priced, and is a nice bright coffee.
WAS THAT A CUSTOM MECHANICAL KEYBOARD I JUST SAW- THATS AMAZING
It was! It’s a KBD75 :)
@@morgandrinkscoffee woaahhhh :D what switches?
I've had the Chameleon cold brew but as a concentrate. It was really good, mainly because I could make it as strong as I wanted.
I always love watching you I don’t know how you’re not at 1M subs by now. You give great quality, honest and funny relatable coffee videos!
Thank you ❤️
I'm so glad Stok made the top three! It's one of my favorites, and the Lightly Sweetened variety over ice is a dream! Great video!
Your voice cadence and tone reminds me so much of Kieran Shipka.
The purple bold stōk with tiny bit of unsweetened vanilla coconut milk is my jam. I love coffee but it’s acidity gives me horrible reflex. It’s the only cold brew that doesn’t give me dragon breath. Glad you like it!
Morgan always makes my day :)
Out of those three, my favorite is probably espresso Stok. I buy whichever is 2 for 8 and not full price at like 6 bucks a bottle.
I found Trader Joe's cold brew coffee and their concentrate cold brew to be pretty good. Little goes a long way on the concentrated cold brew.
Every time Morgan does a video with a "cream test" in it, I always think of the Macho Man Randy Savage in a 90s interview describing himself as "the cream," and talking about how "the cream will rise to the top" while pulling out single-use creamer cups seemingly from nowhere.
This is a great video! Thanks for taking the time to explain and go through testing with each brand, especially with the cream. I sometimes do find coffees lose their flavor profile after anything is added sadly, so thank you!!❤️
Hi Morgan !

I could easily see you in a few years being where James Hoffman is today. Great video!
STōK is my favorite. If it wasn't so expensive, I'd chug it by the liter every day. They sell them in 1-liter bottles at my local store.
I honestly feel like you should’ve done the cream test on all of the bottles. Atleast on the ones that didn’t taste underdeveloped.
Could’ve been two categories: one for black and one for cream.
Although Stok does not have added sugar or creamer, the ingredients do say "natural flavors". They may have added flavorings to change the coffee profile, so it's strictly not "pure coffee".
Starbucks Blond with half and half. My favorite..
In the Philly area, most supermarkets have Starbucks, Stok, and La Colombe. Of the 3, La Colombe is by far the best choice.
just the way she speaks i feel like she could teach me anything and id immediately understand
The La Colombe dark roast in the blue bottle is awesome! I’m usually more of a medium roast girl, but I love their blue bottle. I don’t like citrusy coffee, and the blue bottle is totally not citrusy, so it’s great IMO
As a stōk fan I’m glad it made it to your finals I’ll have to keep an eye out for la Colomb
Califa is soo good too stok and califa are my fav. La Colombe in the can is good but it has milk etc..
The bizzy and Chameleon ones are the best ! Not too strong not to weak but perfect
Clicks on nice MorganDrinksCoffee video
*Sees custom keyboard*
Now needs MorganMakesKeyboards video
So I'm not the only one thinking that. Her setup looked very nice.
100% agree with the dark roast from starbucks.. I also noticed it in Intelligentsia Cold Coffee in case anyone was wondering.
If she doesn’t really know what bold meant did that coffee than that makes me feel better haha! 😂
Stok is my FAVORITE go to store bought coffee. HANDS down. They have a couple other ones. A purple label and a yellow label. The blue is my favorite.
Her partner looks _exactly_ how I’d imagine the boyfriend of a barista from Portland’s boyfriend would look.
She's from Portland Oregon. It make sense. My home town!!!! Stump town lol 😆 got it.
Since I found this video randomly on CZcams I’ve been playing it in the background as white noise when I’m working or studying or cooking and I love it! Love love love the vibe and your voice!
Yay coffeeeee ☕️
as an avid consumer of grocery store iced coffee i'm so happy you liked the la colombe stok and sbux medium bc those are my favs!
I found La Colombe and drank it tirelessly for months. They do taste very much like chocolates. My favorite is the blue bottle La Colombe Cold Brew BRAZILIAN Medium Roast. Highly recommend that one as well.
Ahh love the video already!! 🎷🎷
Bean crew, let’s go! 🎷
The horror in this scientist’s face at 11:52 when you used the *same* spoon to stir in the cream for the different samples! 😝 Thanks for the review - can’t wait to try these out. 😋
While I can see it may e taking too long to do on-screen. It would've been cool for you to do an off-screen cream test of the loser's bracket as well. That way you could report if any of them seemed to shine when cream was introduced for anyone who may prefer that, just as sort of an honorary mention.
I was a barista for 7 years and have gotten lazy and will buy the premade. Legit Stok is where it's at. The yellow bright one they have is really good. The acidity is awesome in it
Sorry, I don’t think you can compare iced coffee’s to cold brew’s in a taste test.
Stok is my favorite! They have one that is lightly sweetened that tastes like super rich chocolate milk. So good!
I was vegan for a year, drinking the Dunkin iced coffee, before I realized there was milk in it.
"the cream test... WHICH IS A TERRIBLE NAME" made me laugh out loud
I didn't hear mention that you really are reviewing two different types of coffee. One is iced coffee and the other is cold brewed coffee. Iced coffee being hot coffee cold and cold brew coffee being coffee brewed just in cold water over a longer period of time. Which should get you a much different flavor profile
I was about to comment the same thing. 2 absolutely different types of coffees.
I make my own cold brew using the Starbucks Blonde roast and it’s SO good. Expensive though… considering how much I get through every week. Stok I found tasted inconsistent and watery sometimes but when I got a good bottle it was amazing. This video was super helpful, thank you!
Everyone Swears By Chameleon Cold Brew But It Tastes Like Water And The Hype Made Them Charge More! It Used To Be $5 Now It’s $9 Ugh 🤭.
Just watching her get slightly more hyped and talking faster and faster as the video goes on hahahah
My favorite is Chameleon cold brew concentrate! I like to mix my own ratios
My new favorite grocery store cold brew is califia farms blonde roast. It is the most nutty, chocolatey, buttery cold brew every. I have never tasted any coffee like it.
I am going through your whole vid library and learning so much from you. Thank you!!
The Stok bright and mellow is my favorite.
My faves in this haul are bizzy and chameleon. Least favorite are califia and dunkin. Want to try groundwork. Used to be diehard stok. Love the aftertaste of it.
stok is my morning jam. So glad you liked it
La Colombe is EASSILLYY my favorite too out of all the coldbrews I've tried & I was so happy you picked it!!
