Shock Caffee takes their motto of "sleep is overrated" to heart.  This is seriously the best coffee company in the world for hypercaffeinated masses - managing to way up their caffeine content, without sacrificing taste, or adding any extraneous ingredients to their coffee blend. Basically, this is coffee on coffee - and if you can find it - it makes for a fantastic brew.

I tried their canned latte - and it did everything I would hope for. It tasted like canned coffee (milk heavy and a little metallic) , drank down easy, and hit me with a payload of energy! More than any other coffee drink, this small 8oz can will make sure you dont sleep at night - and tasted great in the process. Before you reach for the monster or the rockstar coffees, I would definitely grab this little can instead. Dont be fooled by the size - it blows other coffee energy drinks away.

Buzz:Nutrition:10
With just putting normal and not-that-bad-for-you ingredients, they make sure this coffee drink taste great. No taurine, ginesng  or glucosamine, unlike some canned coffees, just REALLY strong coffee (up to 160 mg in an 8oz can), milk, cane sugar, coffee creamer, cocoa and some baking soda. Yes, there is 125 calories in here, but you are getting quite a punch from it - and you get less calories than if you slugged back the other 24oz drinks out there - or even a Starbucks Doubleshot

Taste:8
Shock Triple Mocha is one of the best tasting canned coffee drinks on the market. Period. I have tried dozens out there over the years, and this one is definitely up there for taste. This is not a dessert drink, like bibicaffe, but an everyday drink you can pound before heading out the door. Easy to drink, smooth and not too sweet - this is the perfect thng to take with you when you are looking for that great coffee pick me up.

Packaging:7
I think that while this is an OK package, it could have been a little better. I get their motif - the logo , the use of color, but unfortunately, the can ends up blending into the shelves in the stores. Compared to the cool hip of rockstar or the Bali themed monster coffees, these look bland and not as explosive as it should be to get these into people's hands. By itself, the can is fine. Good use of logo, listing of the fantastic website - good product info. THis is one instance where you cant list caffeine, because it would vary depending on all the things that change per brew. They do let you know that this is extra caffeinated beans, so that helped.

Website:10 -www.shockcoffee.com
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. In terms of energy drink websites, this one is the best I have seen. There is just the correct use of flash- keeping things really funny and packed full of useful information about the drink and the company. I had to go to all the sections just to see what shock coffee man was going to do; and the cart works perfectly and looks good while doing it. Even if you are not interested in the brand, the website is very very clever, and delivers function and backend to match.
