I was out to the store not so long ago to buy one of the Java Monster coffee energy drinks when I found them sold out. I was trying to decide which of the other flavors I might try when a small slender can with a dark wood grain pattern caught my eye. It was over near the rim of the cooler almost hidden from view. I reached for the X-Presso Monster Hammer espresso energy drink and looked at it. Espresso sounded good, so I decided to try it.
I am not sure why, but for some reason the can seems to be just the right size to make you think it may need a shake. However, do not shake this little slim can of the X-Presso Monster Hammer espresso energy drink, since you may just wear some of it. This espresso energy in a can includes Nitrous Oxide. I did not know that to begin when I bought the drink. I just wanted a cold coffee, they were out of both the Loca Moca and the Nut-Up Java Monster coffee energy drinks and espresso sounded good that morning. I repeat do not shake the X-Presso Monster Hammer espresso energy drink.
When you pop the top on this can of espresso energy drink, it offers you a nice head of foam. I thought when I first opened the can that the contents might be carbonated; however, they are not. This did surprise me, since I really do not think I would like a carbonated coffee drink. The X-Presso Monster Hammer espresso energy is creamy, milky in texture and taste and not so sweet with a mild robust taste of espresso coffee, which was nice and ample, but not overpowering.
I can say that the X-Presso Monster Hammer espresso energy does have a good kick of energy that does not take long to come into effect. It also provided me with several hours of energy while I was working online, tending to housework and taking care of the children. I was a bit surprised with the amount of energy that this small can of espresso energy drink offered me.
The price of a single 6.75-ounce can of X-Presso Monster Hammer espresso energy is a bit steep at more than $2.00 a pop. However, if there were anything that I could suggest that would make this energy drink any better, it would be to put this espresso energy drink in a bigger can. We can handle more espresso coffee and more energy!
