If you have Covid19, or anyone in your household is in Isolation, you must inform us before the delivery.

Our delivery drivers take great care in delivery groceries to you, and we all take Covid seriously. As of June, 2023 - there is now a $50 flat rate to all international orders. As of April, 2023 we still haven’t switched on international orders. As of Feb 2023, we no longer do overseas orders. 1 out of 20 customers did this, and shipping charges were damaging. We had added terms and conditions at checkout for people overseas to contact us prior to ordering. We have a low $50 minimum order for those suburbs within the City of Melbourne (Please check your suburb before ordering).īulk Orders are allowed, but you will be required to contact us first to ensure the Delivery charges are met by you. They taste better, and frankly, the difference between the two drinks’ ability to get you through another class or two is negligible.We now have a minimum order of $99 for Interstate orders, outside of Victoria with a Max of 5kg. So which drink is ultimately better? I really do have to go with Starbucks Doubleshots on this one. Ironically, “Moca Loca” (mocha) Java Monster tastes better to me than “Mean Bean” (vanilla), which is precisely the opposite of my preference for Doubleshots. You can actually still get a hint of this flavor in the Java Monster, which is the primary reason that I don’t care for the taste. This was the main issue I had with the “plain” flavor of Monster, which I swore tasted something akin to lightly carbonated, artificially flavored green apple soda. Java Monster, on the other hand, still manages to retain a thin, bitter-yet-sugary taste. For what it’s worth, mocha actually reminds me a bit of the artificially flavored cotton candy you can find in gum and other confections. Both the mocha and the vanilla flavors are quite good, somewhat similar in texture and flavor to their frappuchino counterparts, despite the flavor being thrown just out of the ballpark by the energy contents. How do they taste? Having compared two equivalent flavors of each brand (mocha and vanilla, to be more precise), I’ve formed my opinion.ĭoubleshots are the clear winners of the taste test. So, if they do basically the same thing… What’s the point of comparing them? In that regard, it remains totally up to the consumer’s preference which is more “effective.” I feel more or less the same after having a Java Monster and a Starbucks Doubleshot (though the former did manage to keep me awake for a few hours longer during an all-nighter I pulled one weekend). Either way, they have 3,700 milligrams of assorted ingredients (they don’t list the volumes of each ingredient, only what ingredients are included in the energy blend) in whatever it is.īut how do these blends compare, as far as their actual effects go? The honest answer is, I couldn’t tell you. Now, mind you, they’re not as forthcoming with information – I couldn’t for the life of me figure out whether their listings counted as per-serving, or per-can. Not too bad.Ĭompare that with Monster Java’s energy ingredients. That’s 4845 milligrams of assorted energy ingredients in every 15 fluid ounce can. Starbucks Doubleshots take a more conservative blend of ingredients, listing its energy contents per can as 2 grams of Maltodextrin, 1.8 grams of Taurine, 450 milligrams of L-Carnitine, 180 milligrams of Inositol, 325 milligrams of Panax ginseng, and 90 milligrams of Guarana. That being said, what about ’em? Well, considering I don’t really care for the “regular” energy drinks, I’ll be rambling a bit about a twist on the energy drink formula: coffee/energy drink hybrids, specifically Starbucks Doubleshots (not to be confused with the doubleshot, which is nothing more than two shots’ worth of espresso) and Java Monster.įirst and foremost, let’s take a look at energy contents. So, yes, this review is about energy drinks. Energy drinks? Really? Truth of the matter is, I couldn’t think of a single thing to review, but I couldn’t let Onyx keep having all the fun. Okay, so, I know what you’re all thinking.
