Coca-Cola recently introduced its first-ever energy drink, Coca-Cola Energy, and it is continuing to explore other beverage categories with new products like Coca-Cola Coffee. This new Coca-Cola beverage is set to be launched in 25 markets around the world as of the end of this year.
Coca-Cola Coffee is a unique in-between drink that blends Coke and coffee, and was created to suit specific occasions like the mid-afternoon slump that so many people experience at work—the canned drink provides less caffeine than a regular cup of coffee and more than a can of soda.
As many health-conscious consumers are actively choosing to avoid sugary drinks, Coca-Cola is tapping into the demand for ready-to-drink coffee and consumers' willingness to explore creative hybrid beverages that have the potential to impact one's energy levels.
