Jimmy’s Iced Coffee Review
|Not long ago, I was lucky enough to win a case of Jimmy’s Iced Coffee Original. I’m a huge coffee fan and love iced coffee in particular. Before winning this amazing prize, I had not tried Jimmy’s Coffee but now it is probably my favourite brand of ready to drink chilled coffees.
Jimmy’s Iced Coffee is made with semi-skimmed British milk, ethically sourced coffee and a little bit of Demerara sugar. The taste is very well balanced and that’s what I love. The coffee is strong and the sweetness is just right. I do not sweeten my coffee at home, but love the taste of brown sugar in iced coffees. I find most ready to drink iced coffees a bit too sweet but Jimmy’s has got it right! The coffee is not sickly sweet at all — just tasty and refreshing.
Jimmy’s Iced Coffee comes in three versions (Original, Skinny and Decaf) and can be bought online or from the following shops: Ocado, Budgens, Selfridges&Co, Tesco Express, Waitrose, Boots, Wholefoods, Welcome Break, BP and Roadchef.
I loved having a big supply of these at home so that I could quickly grab a coffee even when I was really busy and I will be looking out for these when I need a coffee out of the house, too. Delicious!
After seeing this I thought I’d give it a try, even though the price put me off quite a bit as you can get essentially the same thing for much cheaper elsewhere.
Overall I’m unimpressed. It seemed more iced than coffee to me: simply watered down coffee. The taste wasn’t there at all. Perhaps they’ve changed over the last two years since this post was posted, because what I drank definitely wasn’t, “tasty and refreshing.”
Might stick to what I usually buy.
Could have changed – I’ve not had them since as I just make my own coffee most of the time.
Which ones do you like? I like Aldi’s ones too if I’m passing on a hot day and want a cold coffee.
The coffee taste is never very strong in milky coffees, in my opinion. But I like my coffee very strong normally. I just see iced coffee as a different thing. x
Hi!
Jimmy’s Iced Coffee (Original) was recently recommended to me after being disappointed with off the shelf iced coffees I had already tried, and which contain additives (which I try to avoid).
Jimmy’s is by far my new favourite! No unnecessary additives, tasty and refreshing, the right balance of taste, as you say. Delicious!
Glad you like it too! :)
I love iced coffee abd must have tried every brand but Jimmys was my least favourite. I understand that opinion varies from person but it does just taste extremely watered down and tasteless. Buy alternatives
It was a long time now since I tried Jimmy’s but at the time I thought it was nice. I really like Aldi’s iced coffees – especially the espresso one. Have you tried it?
Which one was your favourite? :)
