Coca-Cola with Coffee (also called Coca-Cola Coffee Plus) is a coffee-flavored version of Coca-Cola. It was first launched in 2017 in Japan and was distributed to international markets in the following years, being introduced to the United States in 2021.
The coffee variant of Coca-Cola was first distributed in Japan under the name Coca-Cola Coffee Plus in September 2017, as a product only available in vending machines. [1] A sugar-free version, Coca-Cola Plus Coffee No Sugar, was announced later in the month [2] and launched in October 2017 as a limited edition in Australia. [3]
A previous coffee-flavored version, Coca-Cola BlāK, was launched in 2006 and discontinued in 2008. The major difference between these two is that Coca-Cola with Coffee contains more real coffee than Blak; [4] in particular it fuses classic Coca-Cola with 100% Brazilian coffee. [5] The formula for Coca-Cola with Coffee differs for each region to suit local tastes. [5] [6]
By 2020, Coca-Cola with Coffee became available in over 30 markets around the world, [5] including Australia, Italy, Spain, Thailand, Poland, Brazil, Vietnam and Turkey. [4] [5] After spending about two years of testing, the Coca Cola Company introduced Coca-Cola with Coffee and Coca‑Cola with Coffee Zero Sugar to the United States, the 50th market of the product, on January 25, 2021. [6] [7] It arrived in three new flavors: Dark Blend, Vanilla and Caramel. The zero-sugar counterpart is only available in Dark Blend and Vanilla. Brandan Strickland, brand director of Coca‑Cola Trademark, said:
Coca‑Cola with Coffee is a true hybrid innovation that provides the perfect solution for that mid-afternoon pick-me-up we all want, especially in today's work-from-home environment. We're fulfilling this need state and occasion in a uniquely Coca‑Cola way. [7]
In November 2022, Coca‑Cola with Coffee was discontinued in the United States, with Coca-Cola stating that they wanted to focus on Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Coca-Cola Creations and Coca-Cola mini-cans. [8]

Diet Coke is a sugar-free and low-calorie soft drink produced and distributed by the Coca-Cola Company. It contains artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. Unveiled on July 8, 1982, and introduced in the United States one month later, it was the first new brand since Coca-Cola's creation in 1886 to use the Coca-Cola trademark. The product quickly overtook the company's existing diet cola, Tab, in sales.
The Coca-Cola Company's formula for Coca-Cola syrup, which bottlers combine with carbonated water to create the company's flagship cola soft drink, is a closely guarded trade secret. Company founder Asa Candler initiated the veil of secrecy that surrounds the formula in 1891 as a publicity, marketing, and intellectual property protection strategy. While several recipes, each purporting to be the authentic formula, have been published, the company maintains that the actual formula remains a secret, known only to a very few select employees.

Originally announced as a limited edition in the UK, it became permanent for several years; however, it was again discontinued in the UK in Summer 2018. Despite this, the product has still been distributed in related brands Diet Vanilla Coke and Coke Vanilla Zero.

It was originally launched in Norway as Urge in 1996, and was so popular that it was released in the United States as Surge in 1997. Lagging sales caused production to be ended in 2003 for most markets.
