"The Coca-Cola and coffee mixture was sold in a variety of flavors, offering options for those searching for a tasty afternoon boost. Dark blend, vanilla, caramel, and Coke Zero options delivered almost 70mg of caffeine per 12-ounce can, doubling the amount found in a typical can of Coke. The coffee flavor was described as a sneaky element in the drink, as each sip led with the familiar taste of bubbly Coke until coffee entered the chat as a kind of grand finale."
"Though Coca-Cola with Coffee existed in other countries as early as 2018, the product's launch in the American market was announced during lockdown. "I thought I would hate these, but after trying, they were my favorite," confessed one Redditor. "I found this way too late... I was able to buy a few a couple of different times. I thought I'd found something really great and then BOOM... GONE. I was so bummed," added another."
Coca-Cola introduced a coffee-flavored canned soda in the U.S. in 2021 after offering similar products internationally since 2018. The product came in dark blend, vanilla, caramel, and Coke Zero, each can containing about 70 mg of caffeine per 12 ounces, roughly double a regular Coke. The flavor profile reportedly begins with classic bubbly Coke and finishes with coffee notes. The product was discontinued and the company stated availability depends on overall consumer demand. The discontinuation spurred online petitions and disappointed customers who described the drink as a preferred afternoon boost and versatile mixer.
