• "Once shaken up in a bottle, it is very smooth (with just water)! No clumps."
• "Mixes great and doesn’t really affect the flavor of my morning coffee."
• "First time trying flavored collagen peptides, although I am a protein powder connoisseur. The dark chocolate flavor truly tastes like dark chocolate, exactly like my cocoa powder."
• "I love the taste of this non-dairy flavor for my morning vanilla collagen espressos."
• "The vanilla bean is good in my coffee."
• "The taste is really good. Coffee turns into a mocha."

Cons:

• "There IS a slight taste to it, it’s NOT a good taste but not an awful taste."
• "But, the last order I received had a distinct meaty smell and taste."
• "The vanilla can was only about half full, clumps in my coffee and leaves an unsatisfying aftertaste that ruins my morning coffee."
• "The flavour is rich chocolate but does have a tart aftertaste."
• "The vanilla flavor is not good. It's ok in shakes, but I really did not care for it in my coffee."
• "The taste is bitter and completely ruined the taste of my coffee."

• "It mixes fine with hot coffee."

Cons:

• "Does not dissolve well at cooler temperatures."
• "This product does not mix well or have much taste. I try to mix it with hot almond milk and it clumps."
• "However, it does NOT mix well at all. Lumps up majorly and ends up just coating the bottom of my cup."
• "Every time I order the vanilla flavor I have to scoop out clumps that won't dissolve."
• "It is very difficult to dissolve in any cold drink."
• "This one is hard to add to hot beverages because it turns everything green. Also it doesn't dissolve very well so there always bits floating in your drink."
