Having worked in Tokyo during summer, I long for cold coffee cans. In Europe we can only find Starbucks cans full of sugar and milk :(


In Bangkok I sometimes grab a Boss Coffee[0] from the 7-11 and I'm inevitably surprised by how not-bad it is.

(I was thrilled to find a serious coffee culture in Thailand that rivals anything outside of Portland or Italy, but coffee at night is not a thing.)

You can! There's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Brown_Coffee

German/Euro site: https://mrbrown-coffee.de/. It's made by a company in Taiwan, but I'm pretty sure the local stuff is made in Europe.

I first tried it when I went to Cyprus, they do a "Mr. Black" as well, which is just plain black coffee in a can. It's so freaking good when chilled.

I live in the UK (NZ originally) and so on return I missed it, but found that the greek shops near me readily sell it.

So you should be able to find it in Europe. Not as good as boss coffee etc but still holds a stick, give it a shot!


I've never seen it in the UK, but having seen it in Cyprus, I will have to check out Greek Cypriot stores in London now...


Fio's usually seems to stock it from what I've seen, they have a few locations around North London.
