Coffee-flavored cola possibility for Coke

By SCOTT LEITH

Coca-Cola's latest experiment might be enough to give you the jitters.

The soft drink maker has been tinkering with a coffee-flavored cola, using the possible brand name Blak.

The introduction of such a product might be a caffeinated long shot. But analyst Bill Pecoriello of Morgan Stanley — who reported about Blak on Tuesday — noted that Coke is working on a lineup of new products in hopes of reviving sales.

"The Coke system is making good on its promise to investors to step up innovation in the U.S.," Pecoriello said in a report.

Just last week, for example, Coke announced plans to introduce Coca-Cola with Lime by the end of March. Bottlers already are starting to distribute a new energy drink, Full Throttle, to take on rival Red Bull.

Coke spokesman Kelly Brooks, following company norm, had little to say about the prospects for Blak. "We're always developing and testing a wide range of beverage innovations," he said.

Coffee-flavored colas haven't hadn't had a good track record, however. Pepsi test-marketed one in 1996 under the name Pepsi Kona. It failed, and these days resurfaces only as a collectors' item.

Nonetheless, Pecoriello said coffee-based beverages are an underdeveloped product category in the United States. Frappuccino, sold via a partnership of Starbucks and Pepsi, is easily the biggest seller when it comes to ready-to-drink bottled coffee.

Coke could take a look at that niche, too, if it creates a new bottled coffee to replace its failed Planet Java.

"The timing may be better today for launching more coffee-based drinks," Pecoriello said. "But it remains critically important to get the taste and marketing strategy right."

I remember waiting for ages to get my hands on Vanilla Coke, purely for the novelty value

I took a couple of sips and threw the rest out as it made me nauseous, and gave me a slight headace

So I'm hoping I wont have the same experience with this so-called Coffee Coke.

I'll try it and see if its alright, but I'm not going to be going mad over it

BLAK??? WTF kind of name is that...lol

i suppose dont knock it until you tried it.

will try for sure

I like all their other flavours... As long as it's not the "diet" edition... because it tastes like 50% coke, 50% water

Vanilla coke is my most favorite soft drink by far... However, with the creation of coffee-flavored coke, Coca-Cola is gasping for air and running out of ideas. When caffeine flavors itself, it's not a good sign

yep i'll try it.

Hopefully it has double the caffeine.

no

i think it's time for my daily hurl

gased cofee,

Don't like Coke so doubt i will like this. I just want Pepsi to release Mountain Dew in the UK....... pretty pwease!

tried coffee once in my life... never drink it again!

coffe flavor?

will that be with 3 spoon fulls of sugar and some cream? can i have vanilla or coco latte flavor cream? will it be hot?
seriously though, i never drank coffee for the taste itself. i drank coffee for the caffiene and the get up, and even then i couldnt taste the coffee, just all the amounts of sugar and cream i dumped into it. so naa, i wont be drinking coffee flavored coke.
how about turkey and gravy flavored coke, its like a full meal in a bottle, without the getting full part. lol

Despite the fact that I hate coffee and likes to drink Coke, I will give it a try. Coke and coffee contains caffeine.

Well, I love Coffee, and I love Coke. I'll try this.

after vanilla coke im sticking with plain old original coke

I love coffee, but I hate coke!

So I voted "Ew.."

You only consume things that have health benefits?



That really sucks that they don't have Mountain Dew in the UK, I wonder why that is?

Nope, I don't like coffee. I like Diet Lemon Coke

coffee =

ewww

They used to sell Mountain Dew in the UK a number of years ago as I remember buying some.

Thought it tasted ok (I think).

Must have been pulled due to poor sales

maybe coke a cola are getting scared because Pepsi have just launched a lemon & lime cola.

Lets see... Water, Orange Juice, Milk, Green tea.
yes i do, aside from an occasional beer does that shock you?

sounds grose but ill try anything

Yes

I dont really like these new flavors I like the original coke and the original coffee.

Yes I will. Whatever coke makes I drink
But there's nothing better than original Coca-Cola!

nope, i don't like coffee at all.

I'll try it

Lets hope it contains caffine, if it does ill teach myself to like the new flavour.

I voted 'No' cos I thought it wouldn't be sumthin i'll like however i'll try it once.
