UCCHawaii Kona Coffee Blend With Milk, Ready To Drink Coffee, Imported from Japan, 11.3 oz (Pack of 24)

It bring back to Japan when I was stationed there in the navy, great coffee!!!!!

I bought this because of my insatiable curiosity about Japanese products, especially those found in those wonderful Japanese vending machines. UCC is a major brand of beverages "since 1969", found in many Japanese vending machines. I found this "Coffee with Milk" to be a perfectly blended mix of coffee and milk, and it is not overwhelmingly sweet - just sweet enough. Just one minor complaint: Every can was dented, although the shipping box showed no sign of damage when I received it. Maybe they were damaged in transit from Japan, and shipped in a new box when they arrived in the US. Not that it mattered to me. The UCC uses some VERY heavy duty cans for their coffee products, and not a single can had lost its vacuum seal. Therefore, all the coffee drinks inside the cans are fine, the damage was purely cosmetic. Since all the UCC coffee drinks are for me, the dents are not a problem.

The UCC coffee itself is great — these are like the cans you might find in a supermarket or vending machine in Japan, or in an Asian grocery store in the US.I will note that the shipping and handling of these cans was less than ideal, they are all significantly dented. The cans were packed tightly in a cardboard box (labeled with “this side up”), but this box was placed in a much larger outer cardboard box, without any additional filling or padding. Given how beat up the outer box looks, I have the impression that this item was handled quite roughly during shipping, and the inner box probably bounced around a lot and thus the cans were all damaged. I’m honestly surprised none of them burst given how dented they are. I guess the damage will probably not cause issues, I was worried that the most dented cans might effectively be pressurized and cause a mess when I open them, but they do usually have some extra space within. I guess I will find out soon enough.

I love this coffee, but I’m not eligible for return. After two weeks of waiting for delivery I got cants bent up, busted and leaking!!!

It’s a really good coffee. The flavour is well balanced and kind of unique, it’s sweet but not too sweet. I’ll likely buy it again.

Every can in the case came dented. The box was fine but every can dented. Bad. Opening some will be a mess.

Back in 1977, I did a lot of scuba diving while stationed on Okinawa. After the dive, there was nothing better than a cold can of UCC coffee from one of their vending machines, seemingly located on every corner. I'm so glad to find this again and even though it seems a little pricey, I will continue to purchase it as long as I can find it.
