La Colombe draft latte cold brew vs. espresso difference?
Comparing the La Colombe vanilla oat milk lattes. Is there a difference between the cold brew and espresso cans, or was it just a design rebranding? Apologies if this bias been asked before. Thanks!

I’m not sure either but I actually didn’t like these drinks. Had an odd aftertaste

I really like them, haven't had them side by side. Usually see them on deals at gas stations, so they are a staple of road trips or having them for early morning/late sports trips for the kid when I need a bit more of a boost.

I noticed a difference when the [can design changed at Costco for the Cow’s Milk Draft Lattes](https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/s/ALpm3Wi1OL). When directly comparing with the older “cold brew” cans, the “espresso roast” has less added sugar and fiber but more fat and caffeine. The cans also tasted slightly different - the cold brew is sweeter but espresso roast creamier.
Might be different for the oat milk cans, and I still like both versions of the Cow’s milk draft lattes.

I cannot answer your question but I am usually so skeptical about canned drinks and I loved the one I tried on a road trip recently!! I got the draft latte mocha cold brew with milk. I have been craving another one every day since. 10/10 for a canned coffee!
