While most consumers adapt to the complex formulation over time, some may not be able to routinely incorporate Soylent products into their diet.

I've gone through about 30 bottles of Coffiest now. In general, I think it's excellent. Taste-wise, this is not a SWEET drink; when you drink it, you actually feel like you're getting some nutrition. If you're the kind of person who tends to over-consume sweet things, this product won't activate your sweet tooth, which is a good thing. Personally, once I've had one coffee or breakfast-themed drink, I tend to crave a second. With Coffiest, I actually feel satisfied, and I can move on with my day. The flavor is pleasantly even; it's not strong in any particular direction. However, most other drinks have strong flavors, so my tongue was a bit surprised the first time I tasted it. For a split second, I thought I didn't like it, but within moments I adjusted. By the end of the first bottle I thought it was delicious.
The texture is smooth. It has a bit of thickness to it, but not too much. You can feel a very fine grit when you're drinking it—chalky, almost—but it's not unpleasant. Like the taste, I found myself enjoying it by the end of the first bottle. If I had to find something bad to say about it, I'd say that the mouthfeel you get once you're done is a little weird. It's not an aftertaste, exactly, but there's definitely some residue left over for a few minutes once you're done drinking. A couple sips of water get rid of it.
Oh, and it's way better cold, so I recommend putting it in the fridge.
However, there is something you should know before you buy 10 cases of the stuff: when it comes to how it makes you FEEL, your mileage may vary. There's caffeine in it, of course, but also L-theanine. L-theanine has been gaining popularity among biohackers and supplement takers, and this was my first exposure to the stuff. I can tell you that it has a very real effect, and it may not be exactly what you want.
L-theanine is basically supposed to be a calming agent. A lot of people are taking it with caffeine to try to "clean up" the stimulating effects, avoiding the jitters and uneasy feelings it sometimes causes. Well, for me personally, it does a little too much. It mellows me out to the point that my eyes get a little heavy and I can feel a bit of a fog in my head. The weird thing is that I'm not sleepy at all; I just kind of want to stop everything I'm doing and chill in a comfy chair or something. The end result is that this is a TERRIBLE morning drink for me, because it makes me unproductive. However, as a mid-afternoon drink that helps me unwind (but stay awake), it's fantastic. I wouldn't take this before an exam or something, but I'd definitely have some before a game night or interview. The way it affects you might be completely different, which is why it's important to experiment a little and see what works best.
For the Soylent drinkers out there, I don't think this tastes much like Soylent 2.0. There are similarities, yes, but it's not just an alteration on the formula you already know. I think it'd be very easy to like (or dislike) this if you already dislike (or like) 2.0. I think this is tastier and has a fuller consistency, and I "enjoy" it more, but it doesn't feel like the two tastes are related to me; they just feel like different foods. Coffiest is less neutral than 2.0, so it's not a one-to-one replacement for it either. In fact I still drink about twice as much 2.0 as I drink Coffiest, both for the taste and because of the physical effects. I think this is a great choice if you want some variety or want the physical effects, but the more I drink of it the more I find myself using it for "special" occasions rather than as a daily thing. I think you should consider this on your own terms, rather than measuring it up as a replacement for some of the Soylent you currently take.
One final note: The bottle is surprisingly stylish—much better than the 2.0 bottle, I'd say. I've gotten a couple of questions/comments from strangers because the bottle caught their eye. I actually wish they'd adjust the 2.0 bottle to take some design hints from this one, i.e., the centrally located lettering and the two-tone style.
Now, onto the serious matter of taste. When I first began Soylent they only had original flavor and I practically gagged my way through the first bottle. I was bitterly disappointed and couldn't imagine drinking 4-5 a day. I did some research and decided to try adding a little chocolate Nesquick to it. That worked great! I blew threw a can of Nesquick in under a month and when it ran out, I tried it plain again and discovered the original flavor wasn't so bad anymore. It just took a little getting used to. I still occasionally add strawberry or chocolate Nesquick to my original bottles, but it's not really necessary.
Like some other people, I hated the Nectar at first sip. It tasted like floral perfume in my mouth, it was awful. But a couple bottles in, I found myself liking it and for a while it was even my favorite flavor.
Similar to the Nectar, the Cacao wasn't great when I first tried it either. I thought it was too nutty and had a fake chocolate taste. That quickly changed and now it tastes like a perfect chocolate milk and is hands down the best flavor available. If I were to introduce a friend to Soylent, I would start with Cacao,
I've also tried the powder and really really wanted to like it, but seriously couldn't handle the taste. I figured it would be an acquired taste for me, like the other flavors, but after a day and half of plugging my nose to chug the stuff and then trying to rinse the taste out of my mouth afterwards, I just gave up on it. I felt like I could taste wallpaper paste all day and night after a glass of Soylent powder!
Other stuff:
SALT. This one is kind of important. Soylent is very low sodium, which is good for you, but can make you crave salty foods, especially at first. I started craving potato chips and fries like crazy. Which was fine by me, I wasn't trying to restrict my diet, so I just ate some chips. But I eventually found it was cheaper/easier/better to just add a pinch of salt to a bottle now and then. Plus after 6 months or so the salt cravings are mostly gone, but I still enjoy some saltine crackers as my snack most days.
OTHER FOOD is amazing when you drink 90% Soylent. I usually drink 4 bottles a day + a snack to reach about 1800 calories. All sorts of food are just bursting with flavor now! A sip of juice is like eating a delicious fruit candy drink. I don't feel deprived at all, I feel like I am able to appreciate all the little nuisances of taste and flavor, that most people so used to they don't even notice.
The only bad bit: I'm addicted! I HAAAATE running out of Soylent and would pay a premium to go buy a case locally once in a while, when I am stupid and forget to re-order in time. When I have to switch back to 'regular' food, I feel sick. It's probably because I am pretty much dumping poison into a body that is used to a near-perfect balanced diet that is always the same. Running out of Soylent for me usually means starvation followed by pizza, burgers and frozen chicken nuggets, followed by diarrhea, lethargy and mood swings. :(
