Java Monster: Coffee-flavored Monster Energy
We finally have some more details and pictures on the new Monster energy drinks – called Java Monster. There are three flavors: Big Black, Loca Mocha, and Mean Bean.
This, from an Energy Fiend reader:
The mean bean has a mild vanilla flavor, and the Mocha is slightly chocolaty! The two taste very similar, and resemble a coffee flavored milk more than anything else.
The can boasts “half the caffeine of regular coffee, twice the buzz”
In terms of formulation, Java Monster appears to contains the same “Energy Blend” as straight Monster.
Not quite sure about the “half the caffeine” bit. Monster contains about 70mg caffeine per 8oz – so presumably Java Monster is the same.
Anyone else tried it?
UPDATE: You can Buy Monster Energy Drinks in bulk from energythis.

my office loves the 3 different flavors especially the loco mocha. However, since I don’t normally have sugar they’ve banned me from drinking them – cafeine and energy drinks not a problem for me. Its the sugar (no matter how great they taste) Even though fairly low in sugar compared to others too much sugar for me, not sleeping. Have been instructed if Monster ever comes out with a low carb coffee energy drink buy by the case weekly. Buy them in most convenience stores around atlanta, ga.
I have only seen two flavors…the Mean bean & black bean (or black something). I tried the mean bean & it’s good & from reading all these messages it must be the vanilla. Does anyone know what the black bean is? I haven’t seen one called Mocha yet. Just the two.
I think it’s awesome(and somewhat healthier for you) because
1) The Coffee flavor will appeal to more than its own sweet taste
2) Not carbonated water, just filtered water
3)There’s milk in there (reduced fat, too ;D)
4)Instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup, there’s just sucrose and glucose
5)There actually is coffee in there, and while coffee isn’t a super-healthy drink, it comes from a bean, which is more natural than sugary, carbonated drinks.
6)As in regular monsters, the energy blend is more than just caffeine. It’s also a lot of the energy herbs. While pumping energy in yourself isn’t great in high quantities, I’d rather be it at least partially natural than all caffeine.
7)The filtered water and milk are the most abundant ingredients (Which you can tell because they are the first two items on the ingredients list)
100 calories
9)
There’s less than 1% of your daily value of saturated fat
10)The natural energizers::Taurine, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, L-carnitine::come before the caffeine, meaning they’re the bigger source of energy.(See number 6)
Plus,
THEY’RE FREAKING DELICIOUS ;D
::::SORRY ABOUT ALL THE DOUBLE POSTS, IT KEPT MESSING UP =O::::
where in calif can you buy the java monster?????
you can get these by the case from and 7-up dealer.
or easier…go to a store that sells them and have them order you a case will cost you about 32.00 for 24 cans
I LOVE THESE!! I don’t like monster drinks, and I don’t like coffe, but these are amazing! I can only find them at one gas station. They are not on their website either.
Monster Energy has hit it this time ive drank monster energy drinks for quite awile now and this is far the best one yet and the Loca oca Is My favorite
Dose any one know why Monster has not done a full relese on this necter form the gods?
What retailers have you found Java Monster?
I am in Tucson and Albertson’s is the only location I have found so far after checking Safeway, CVS, and 7-Eleven.
Note to MONSTER – MASS Distribute Please!!!!
I LOVE JAVA MONSTER! i fell in love with when i went to the bp/mcdonalds gas station in charlotte nc. NOW i cant even find it anywhere. if anybudy knows their secret hiding place, pleese let me know asap! its not too sweet and not to coffee tasting. so great! & energetic!
These things are great!! The claim about half the caffeine refers to Java Monster having 50% of the caffeine of regular coffee, which contains about 160 mg per 8 oz. Try looking for them at Casey’s General Stores, especially if you live in the Midwest. That’s the only place I’ve ever seen them. Suz – I agree with you – MONSTER should definitely step up the distribution!!
I LOVE it !! I am hooked but they have not re-stocked them !!! and it is driving me crazy…. This is the first energy drink that does not taste like cough medicine!!
Monster Inc. please sell them at more locations!
I have had many cans of this wonderful drink. I have not had the black as I don’t like coffee. I know it sounds strange, but it is more milk shake tasting to me. I have had all the other monsters, and this by far is the best! I have given them to friends to try and everyone loves them. LOCA MOCA rocks. Charlotte NC
Yes, Java is the real thing. Tastes great! and no jittery buzz like coffee can give you. i am a big fan of all 3!
I am in love with the “Mean Bean”. I got my friends at worked hooked on it too which was kinda bad cuz now they buy them out! The only place we have found it (in San Diego) is 7-11’s and at a little deli by work..I would LOVE to buy them in bulk!
Just did two weeks delivering groceries around the Phoenix and SoCal areas. All the AM PM stores were carrying the Java Monster.
I got lucky and found some at the Chevron in Tucson on Swan/River. They made there solem promise to me that they would keep me in supply.
Thank you Chevron! 
I absolutely love them! However for the last few weeks I have not been able to find them anywhere! I asked at the 7-11 where they were selling them and they said something about them being pulled off the shelf so they could do something about the Oregon bottle deposit…..didn’t make much sense to me and I havn’t been able to find them anywhere since…….I want them back:(
