Food, Drink & Dining Out The Best Ice Coffee

[MarcusP2]

I've had Fleurieu iced coffee, I don't mind it (I buy their milk usually so picked one up as they were sold out of Farmer's Union). Original is still the best though.

FUIC - nectar of the gods
DARE - nectar of my arse-crack

...

Has anyone had Fleurieu? Meant to be the best. I’ve never had it, can’t find it anywhere in Vic.

FYI... Fleurieu is in reference to the Fleurieu Peninsula (South of Adelaide and pointing towards Kangaroo Island) region

No love for Brownes?

Tastes great and has less fat/sugar then most the others.

Another vote for farmers union

I've committed treason. SA born and bred but as of last week i've relegated FUIC to 2nd place. Had a Dare Double Espresso and fell in love. My new favourite.

I read somewhere that they changed the Farmers Union formula significantly a few years ago. No longer use real coffee or something.

Maybe the old stuff was better which contributed to it having the reputation, which based on the current stuff is thoroughly undeserved.

 

[Stewies Power]

FUIC is best. Dare is probably the best tasting competitor but doesn't get the job done over Farmers Union imo.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Farmers Union isn't even made exclusively in SA any more. The brand is owned by National Foods (Japanese owned) who also own the Big M, Dare, Moove and Masters brands. They have manufacturing plants all over Australia and I wouldnt be surprised if it's all the same stuff and same recipe. Actually id be surprised if it wasn't. Certainly both the Big M and FUIC low fat versions both came out at about the same time and are both called 'One'.

Triumph of good marketing.

Farmers Union is just regular ice coffee with twice the sugar.

 

[Super Hans]

Ice break man.

Was loyal to FU for about a decade but 6 months ago I let her go for my new love, Dare double. Love the nutty after taste.

Exactly this. Dare is amaze.

And the new 'share the love' musical Farmers union commercials are coming across to me like a desperate ex looking for attention or something and coming off crazy.

It's just ridiculous and embarrassing.

What do you big rigs reckon about Kick? Had a mocha today was bloody bonza mate.

 

[Bombers 2003]

It's a farmers union ice coffee, or its nuthin'.

i prefer it to Big M

Nippys easily, but all of them fade in comparison to making it yourself. It seriously ain't hard and tastes delicious.

Nippys juice are good,especially lemon

Chocolate, mint AND coffee

Seen the Bickford's but never tried it.
Is the Avalanche just something I can look for in Coles or Woolies ?

 

[bresker]

[Jakko]

Classic Iced Coffee now that they changed the recipe back.

 

[BORK]

Bickford's is ok to have in the cupboard for emergencies, nowhere near as good as the real thing though.

How are Browns and Masters not in here? Might be some WA bias but they're both pretty reliable across the board. I still think the national proliferation of Farmer's Union is good though; they were almost mythical before they were stocked in Woolies. Farmers Union, then Masters, then Browns.

Any iced coffee out of a plastic bottle is just not right. Real bogan (even more bogan, should I say) and just plain wrong and corrupt. I seem to remember that it's all they have in New South Wales and Canberra... that'd be right...

Where do Barista Bros. stack up?
