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.

I am a monster fan.
Love the Java Big Black
I buy it at my local grocery story $1.99.
Wonderful stuff.
To clear up this issue for everyone. All valero’s should have JAVA Monster in atleast 1 flavor, depending on the side of the store. Currently 3 flavors Moca Loca, Mean Bean, and Big Black are the most commonly found. However, there are to new flavors to add to your search now, Low Ball, and Nut up. I swear these are the names of the flavors, and I thought it was a joke with the name Nut Up, but I have seen the can and it is a darker color can but not black like regular monster energy drinks.
hey has anyone seen them in NC yet? and if so wer at?
A couple of represenatives popped in giving my co worker, and I a can of Big Black. We were told by customers it was horrible so we were relunctant to open them. My co worker, and I played “u first” till i won, and she opened hers to try it, and exclaimed how delicious it is, so i popped mine open, and couldn’t put it down. now we’re both hooked, and don’t know where to get it, how much begging does it take to get more?
i tryed the mean bean and the chai high i think the mean bean is better
SAMS Clubs in Austin,TX have them
12 packs are the largest case I have seen of these so far, usually I buy them by the case at Sam’s Club or another discount wholesale store.
They are now in all the truck stops in the South-East.
(I’m a truck driver)
I love Java Monster. I have two to three cans a day.

I recently discovered the a** kicking joy that is Monster Java.
I have been paying over 2.75 a can.. damn 7-11..
I gotta run to Sams today, see if they have cases as rumored.
Great stuff, I F**king love it!
Keep up the good work
Anyone try the new Russian or irish blend, they kick ass.
I had same experience like you guys. Helped me not to fall asleep on a long drive. By profession I am pharmacist so I tried to look into the content. One of the content is Ginseng apart from caffeine. Here are some good and bad points about Ginseng.
It helps with
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (pediatric, inconclusive)
hyperglycemia (possibly effective)
memory impairment (animal data only)
respiratory illness, acute (possibly effective)
stamina (animal data only)
———–
American ginseng may lower blood glucose levels; caution is advised in patients with diabetes or patients predisposed to hypoglycemia
Hi Amerikans! just wondering if monster will go international? also, I can’t buy a Russian monster in FL?, why is that?
am loving the Monster Coffee drinks also — they are everywhere in Portland, OR —- retails ranges from $2.29 to $2.50 – haven’t looked at Sam’s Club or Costco yet…but will look for bulk soon.
The three main flavors are the best — mean bean, mocha and big black – big black is really really good….
I tried the new Tea flavor and did not like it as much — coffee can handle sweetness — the tea is too sweet…
LoBall is okay —
This is my new drink! It’ very hard not to drink two of them in a “row” – they are so good…..
Have used them as a meal replacement and they work great.
Energy This needs to lower there prices and maybe they sell more Monster — Supermarkets have Monster in the cold drink section for $2.29 (Safeway) —- I think an online reseller would have to go under the $2.00 per can mark to attract any buyers.
I have only been drinking Java Monsters for about four weeks, I love the taste and the energy! I only need one per day, and it helps me to cut it in half with water and sip slowly it during the day (I’m 55 and female) then I don’t get that crazy high energy, just a nice buzz all day long. I have noticed that if I gulp it straight about twenty minutes later I feel ANGRY about nothing in particular, and very impatient with people. I’m wondering if there’s any ingredient in particular that might be the cause of that??? I love them, but if they’re going to cause cancer and raging mood swings, I don’t know…..
The issue with energy drinks is they contain high doses of caffeine or natural caffeines.
This sometimes cause me to have difficulty concentrating, anxiety of really nothing, sometime heart palpitations. I subject to palpitations so I just drink slowly.
Best thing to do is ‘rashion’ your beverage as you have been doing. I usually pour some in a clear cup, then I monitor my intake and get to see how fast I drink it.
I’m not a doctor and can’t say it’s bad, but too much of anything isn’t really good. Moderation is best =)
I tried Java Monster yesterday and thought it was great. I bought “Lo-Ball”, a caramel flavored drink and was very impressed, tasted just like any other good coffee drink (i.e.: couldn’t tell it was an energy drink) Meijer had them 2/$4.00, don’t know if that’s a good price or what.
OMG I love these they r so good. I could live on Loca Mochas they r that good. They should make littler ones so i can try 2 get my mom 2 buy more!
MONSTERS R FRICKIN’ AWESOME
I LOVE THE XXL GREEN ONES!!!
THEY R THE BEST DRINK EVER MADE!!!

I am a regular coffee drinker…
and the other day I tried a mean bean java monster and I LOVE THIS STUFF!!
I drank that …..and never needed another caffienated drink the rest of the day! Normally I am drinking 4-5 caffeine drinks a day. I did not get the caffiene buzz that I do with coffee, but I had the “get up and go” enery ALL DAY!! And I slept good that night too!
