The 8 Best Canned Coffees, According to Taste Tests
Stock up and your caffeine fix will only be just one sip away.
In the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen, our ideal a.m. scenario involves starting the day with a leisurely cup of coffee — grinding the best coffee beans, patiently waiting for a good pot of coffee to brew and/or making a homemade latte. But sadly, not all mornings can be that slow-paced (sigh). Some days it's impossible to make coffee at home; we don't have time to turn on our coffee makers, let alone make a fancy espresso drink. The solution: stocking up on the best canned coffee.
Good news: There are so many canned coffee brands available online and at the supermarket now, you never have to skip getting an instant coffee fix. Just crack one open as you're rushing out the door. Or, pack a few cans in your cooler if you know you're headed somewhere that won't have a good cup of Joe (think: the beach, camping, even your kids' soccer game).
And with many of the ready-to-drink coffees actually tasting good, you don't have to sacrifice on flavor or quality either. Plus, you can find tons of different types of single-serve coffees from cold brew and nitro coffee to creamy cappuccinos and dairy-free oat milk lattes. (Just check nutrition labels: Some are loaded with added sugars — one brand has 64% of your daily value in just one 13-oz. bottle! — but you can find low-sugar and low-calorie canned coffees no problem.)
Our top picks:
So which cans should you stock up on? The Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen team taste-tested 35 coffees in a can to find the best canned coffees and bottled and boxed brews worth filling your fridge with. Now, who's ready to start the day?
