I've never heard of it before.

Has the survey been manipulated by FU?

Love FU, best stuff out there.

FUIC is the most popular drink, full stop, in this state. It's the only state where a milk drink outsells a soft drink.

Pretty much by now, it's gotta be habit for people rather than it being that good. It's pretty good, don't get me wrong, but it's entrenched in our everyday life to the extent that it seems to be bought by default now.

For me:

1. Dare - and not available here anymore

2. Pura Classic Coffee milk - my choice now

3. Nippys (only comes in 375ml, I'm seeing a little cult following of this brand. They do decent Honeycomb and Chocolate too)

4. Farmers Union Iced Coffee

5. Farmers Union Strong Iced Coffee

6. Oak Max

7. Feel Good/FUIC Light

8. Pauls Iced Coffee and water in a close tie for 8th. Couldn't split the two

During my last period of exams, I became addicted to the Double Espresso Dare Ice Coffee, the big 750ml suckers. Has plenty of kick in it and tastes beautiful. Now I nearly get one a day.

 

[HARPSichord]

Farmers Union.

Never had Nippy's and I still like all the rest other than Rush. :yuck face:

Big M, if I have the taste for it

Also don't mind our local milk here, Riverina Fresh.

 

[RoosterLad]

Farmers Union dominating as it should be.

 

[DJ Dupree]

Oh no I missed Ice Break and Rush from my list!

Ice Break in at about 4th then, and Rush between the 2 diet Pura varieties.

Keen to make one for me?

Gotta go with the Dare Double Expresso, hits the spot just right. Not too sweet, strong coffee flavour kick, smooth, it goes down really well.

Having one right now. 2 for $4.50 at Coles.

I've been getting Browne's while in WA, mainly because I think they use local producers (WA people let me know if I'm incorrect). Not bad.

 

[Molian]

Gave my vote to OAK.
Not even tried it yet but its the only flavored milk that actually uses full cream milk, not crappy skim milk which just simply isn't creamy enough.
Was going to vote for farmers union but its always disappointed me they don't use full cream milk, and the regular OAK iced coffee is a bit shite, but OAK CLASSIC, im assuming it will be amazing and im going to buy one on the way home.

one cyber ice-coffee coming your way for breakfast .

generally on the weekend i go the hack with ice-cream etc but during the week when im limited for time before work , i go a simple on the run ice-coffee .
2 tsp raw sugar , 1 tsp coffee , 2 cups full cream milk . let it sit stiring occasionally until i finish breaky then skull it down .
on the weekend , add ice-cream and canned whipped cream .
now some may say , ohh , its better with perculated coffee and fresh cream etc etc but ive had many ice-coffee in countries that live on perculated coffee like italy and france aswell as loads of cafe's and restaurants across australia and mine are still better . its all in the resting time and a nice tasting vanilla ice-cream . i also used to be a chef so im not just making crap up .

one of the best combo ice-coffee / bacon and egg breakies i have had was in a little place just out of hobart called Sorell .
there is a cafe on the corner opposite macca's ( can't remember the name ) . it was magnificent . if your down that way , drop in for breaky . we were looking at the suckers in macca's accross the road who were eating rubbery crap while we dined on good fresh local ingredients for probably not alot more in price . its just your basic takeaway cafe but there is something about that good old friendly service you get down in tassie that won us over . the bread was awesome , the bacon was awesome , the eggs were sensational , the portion size was excellent , the ice-coffee was made with love and the service was great .
off memory , it was $7.50 for the bacon + eggs ( 2 big slices of toasted sour dough bread , but not real doughy stuff , it was just right , 4 big slices of yummo bacon and 2 large fried eggs ) .
the ice-coffee was around $4.50 , in a large glass and very nice .

we walked out saying , we are going back and we did two days later on our way to a tasman island boat trip . and , we would go back again .

Well I am making your iced coffee tomorrow morning. Better be good.

needs more than a tbsp of coffee...i like mine strong

 

[bresker]

After some tinkering I made a decent home-made ice coffee as follows:

1.) Make a plunger of good strong coffee - at least half a litre. Leave it to cool.

2.) Get a pint glass

3.) Fill just the bottom with sweetened condensed milk - the stuff that comes in a tin. NOT evaporated milk. About the width of your thumb.

4.) Top up to halfway with ordinary milk - skinny, full cream, UHT, whatever.

5.) At this point, if you have a sweet tooth, you can stir in extra sugar - I use a tablespoon of low-calorie Splenda because this stuff is bad on the waistline. If you use cane sugar maybe add it to the coffee at step 1.) so it dissolves.

6.) Top up to just below the brim of the pint glass with your cold coffee.

7.) Add a few ice cubes

8.) Enjoy!

I just put milk, instant coffee, ice cream and ice cubes in a shaker and shake the s**t out of it. Tastes great.

I used to love Farmers Union but I'm a bit over it at the moment. I like Rush. Especially being diabetic it's not too sweet or fatty. Goulburn Valley is truly disgusting.

 

[deledio7]

I was a big FU drinker but have jumped on the Dare bandwagon. Best Iced Coffee on the market.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Has anyone tryed the ice coffee mixer stuff? where you can make your own iced coffee it norm on the top shelf in most supermarkets.or is better to get a good coffee brand to use to make your own iced coffee.

 

[kfc1]

Goulburn Valley is truly disgusting.

Amen to that. Never again.

Anyone tried Nippys? they are in little poppers in lots of stores, never tried them though.

Dare Double Espresso - absolutely the best.

Clearly the best, was Ice Break but then Dare Double Espresso came around and so much better

It's been manipulated by South Australians
