the coca-cola coffee plus is probably the finest coffee cola ever formulated. i'm comparing it to pepsi kona, mostly. i never thought coffee worked with pepsi's formulation, which is heavier on citrus peel flavors, but it works with standard coke, which is heavier on vanilla, baking spices and a rounder sweeter orange flavor. it also works because it dials back the cola flavor so that coffee plus mostly works as a sort of syrupy sweet canned coffee cut by the bite of carbonation.

where are these coffee colas

coca-cola blak, i saw that in canadian discount supermarkets within the last five years. it wasn't great. pepsi has always been willing to experiment, though. pepsi jazz had a coffee and cream version. parts of eastern europe and central america got pepsi cappuccino and pepsi tarik, a milder formulation is still available intermittently in southeast asia. a sugarfree version of coffee plus is coming to australia soon.

FWIW I find the nu-premium American canned/cartonned coffees from companies like Stumptown and Blue Bottle to be pretty disappointing too, not as bad as some of the cheaper options but hardly worth their premium prices. Canned coffee is just not a good thing in general. Especially if you're used to having the milk and/or sugar amount exactly to your liking.
― IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Friday, 27 October 2017 17:37 (six years ago) link
yeah stumptown is good coffee but the canned stuff is $5 worth of garbage

Thank you for your long-awaited review & unboxing dylann!
Here's my review:https://i.imgur.com/tJ3q9xT.jpg
Coca-Cola Coffee Plus3.2/5.0
The nose was what you'd expect from this Frankenstein monster: equal doses of roasted coffee and kola bean cherries.
AFAIK Japanese Coke still uses cane sugar rather than HFCS, but Coca-Cola Coffee Plus was definitely that numbing chemical fructose sweetness that you get back home.
The back end was a better balance of the two beverages playing hard against each other. I've been known to add cold brew concentrate to Topo Chico (ed note: as of recently also a Coca-Cola product) and I was getting a touch of those bright and smoky roasted notes here, with obviously much more sweetness.
Also worth noting: holy fuck does this jack you up. I was doing pushups around 3am trying to ward off the after-effects of the caffeine.
In summary, probably more of an energy drink than a refreshing beverage. Worth trying for the novelty, will not buy again.

lol at that unboxing video. More like a molestation film! Anyway happy to see this thread revived. Need more jap coffee in my life for sure. The selection at the locals is restricted to 2 or 3 standbys: that 12 oz kona shit and some random 8 oz black.

So weird this got revived today, as I happened to be at a Korean mart the other day and bought a can of Boss Premium. LOVED it. Not too sweet, not too milky, delicious cold.

Australian iced/milk coffees are ubiquitous but uniformly far too milky, and way too mild/sweet for my taste.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 7 May 2022 09:07 (two years ago) link
recently, i enjoyed the low sugar georgia shot & break, as well as the coffee & milk version (the label reads "condensed taste," which i somehow took to mean that it contained condensed milk, so i was expecting a longevity brand aftertaste)(the japanese love for american coffee and coffee culture will make this impossible but it would be cool to have some kind of bottled riff on vietnamese coffee, not much different from sugary canned coffee in general but maybe do something with the bean selection).
― XxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxXxxxx (dylannn), Sunday, 8 May 2022 05:36 (two years ago) link
having tried nearly every innovation in japanese canned coffee as i've seen them, i realize sadly that the few manufacturers fool around with viscosity, bitterness, sweetness of core recipes but don't offer many truly novel beverages. they all taste the same. even the fanciest georgia cold brew or craft boss, i don't know if they do anything but water down their original recipe.
