Drinks manufacturing giant, Coca-Cola, is to branch out with a new coffee-flavoured beverage which can be drunk at room temperature or heated in a microwave.

The US company has already registered three potential names for the innovative products - Coca-Cola Blak, Makkio and Maquio - and claims the new drink could be on sale in Europe and America by next year.

Coca-Cola Asia already sells a coffee-flavoured beverage in Japan, where it is the biggest-selling non-carbonated soft drink on the market.

The move comes as part of a strategy to diversify the company's range of products in a bid to retain consumer interest in a waning fizzy drinks market.

Carbonated beverages have suffered from the burgeoning trend for hot, take-away coffee bars like Starbucks, Caffe Nero and Costa Coffee. track

That doesn't sound too tasty

I have gone off fizzy drinks, I would rather have a glass of water!

I don't like fizzy drinks either. I can never get through a whole can.

I never really have done, even when I was little. Prefer still drinks like water, milk, squash and juice.

Plus the fizzy bubbles make my tummy pop out!

It does sound yukky but who knows. I think they should do a liquorice flavour fizzy drink. I'm not a big fan of fizzy drinks but will buy fizzy spring water as it is too boring when it's still.

I really can't stand fizzy water!

I quite like Dr Pepper though. That has a slight aniseed taste at
times. Not sure I would like a liquorice drink though....I would taste
it though. Most things have to be tried at least once.

Hmmm, I just don't 'get' it.

Who would buy a coffee flavoured drink when they could just buy coffee? Or is the point that it's cold so could be sold in vending machines? But if it came in a can like a cold drink then it couldn't be microwaved

Anyway I shalln't be trying it as I can't stand anything that tastes or even smells of coffee.

I dont like the nasty fruit flavoured ones with sweeteners in but I do like Harrogate springs carbonated water.

I like tonic water with lemon.

Fizzy water just doesn't taste right in my opinion. Taste probably isn't the right word. It just doesn't feel right.

I like a bit of fizzy water though.

That should have been flavoured fizzy water
