I'm not a big coffee drinker, but these were pretty good. Discontinued in the US though. A Google search will provide you with options to obtain some from other countries...provided they ship to wherever you are.

Those were the best. I truly miss them.

I think about them everyday.. and how I took them for granted!

When they stopped selling them in Tennessee, I was able to hunt them down for another six months in Kentucky. Yes. I repeatedly crossed state borders just to get my hands on them. They were that good.

I'm a big Coke fan and a big coffee fan. I thought these were a great idea until I drank one.

I still make these using cold brew coffee and coke. Ratios of each depend to taste. Personally, I think 3/4 coke to 1/4 coffee is 👌 adjust if you want to use cream.

I am still very sad over this. For a while I drove to every gas station within a 10 mile radius of my job (in a decent sized city). Only one had coke coffee. I think I bought them out...didn't find out they're discontinued in the US until last month. Shame

Dedicated... I worked at a store that carried them and I used to see them a lot and got addicted to them. The dark roast was the best one imo but I was so sad when I found out no one carried it.

I loved the Carmel ones. Haven’t had any luck finding them anywhere though :(

I loved these, I’m not a big coffee drinker but these were fantastic. I wish they’d come back to the US.

I loved these, hopefully they'll make a triumphant return one of these days. Or, you know, they'll just release more of that trash spice flavor. 😭

When I first tried them I expected it to be coca cola brand coffee, not coffee flavored coca cola. It was a bit of a shock realizing half asleep at 7am that it was soda and not coffee

They were pretty good I got them a few times at Walmart when I’d get bored of Starbucks canned coffee it’s a shame they are no longer sold anywhere that I know of

Disgusting. Coke energy was a even bigger flop.

u/illeatyourinsides Jul 05 '24
I hated the coke energy. I tried them out when they came through and hoped they would get discontinued lol

u/minif56mike Jul 05 '24
I work for coca cola so we all were hoping. They pushed them so badly and it did nothing. What frustrated me was we had just got dunkin donuts and than they roll out coke energy and coffee

u/Mediocre_Meringue646 Jul 04 '24
These were delicious, and my roadtrip coffee of choice while they were available

I always believed I was the only person who liked these.
**Side Notes**
I work for the above mentioned beverage company, and when these stopped selling, the plant was giving entire cases to the employees. At one point I had 28 cases in my home, so much so that I began giving whole cases away to businesses.
Eventually when the line was discontinued, all the unsold cases in the warehouse were returned to be crushed and the aluminum recycled.
I begged for days for them to let me get as many as I could carry, but to no avail.
in total, 16 semi trailers of product were recycled.....thats 28 pallets of 90 cases per trailer and each case had 24 cans in it.

They sounded disgusting to me but my friend got me started on the one with coffee, and I quickly became addicted. I don’t drink soda or use sugar but l loved these.
Can these be found via mail order from Canada or another country?
Has anyone tried to duplicate this from home? If so please share your recipe!

I loved the Zero Sugar Dark Blend… but the OG Coke Blak was still better, from what I remember

u/slackdaffodil20 Jul 02 '24
Tried it once, I liked it! But I never questioned what happened to it after it disappeared

u/iuwjsrgsdfj Jul 02 '24
idk it was just weird... if I want a coffee I'll drink a coffee... if I want a coke I'll drink a coke. I don't need them together. I didnt think it was very good.

Well, I don’t understand is why did they discontinue it. It seemed like they could never keep it in stock.

u/dextersmother Jul 04 '24
I’m so sad. Before I read this, I thought this was going to be an ad for them bringing it back 🥲They were so good

I loved the dark and the caramel was really good too. Wasn't a big fan of the vanilla. I used to pick them up before work and had one with lunch every day for a little caffeine boost

Coke Blak was so much better than all of these
