Pepsi will debut a coffee-infused beverage in 2020.
What We Know:
- Pepsi Café blends the taste of rich coffee with its signature cola to create two flavors, Original and Vanilla. Each can will contain nearly twice the amount of caffeine than regular Pepsi.
- The staff at PEOPLE got a taste of the mashup and confirm that they really do taste like both Pepsi and coffee. “The vanilla version is a sweet, refreshing twist on the classic vanilla flavor that can be found in so many coffee drinks, while the original flavor resembles that of a deep, rich black coffee with slightly sweeter undertones.”
- Pepsi was one of the first brands to break into the “cola-meets-coffee” category with Pepsi Kona in 1996. Pepsi’s Vice President of Marketing, Todd Kaplan explained the company’s motivation to re-enter the coffee category and cited growing interest in products that can “meet the needs of energy, indulgence, and refreshment”.
Both flavors will hit shelves in April of 2020 for limited time.
