COCA-COLA has unveiled it's most controversial flavour yet - it's mixed its imitable fizzy drink with pure COFFEE.

The new flavour, dubbed Coca-Cola Coffee​ Plus, has more caffeine than a 'normal' can of Coke, and less than a cappuccino.

It has 14mg of caffeine per 100ml, compared to the usual 9mg - and way less than the frothy coffee favourite's 43mg.

Sadly for UK caffeine fans, the new flavour is is only available in Australia, where it's being released to coincide with the start of their summer.

Last year they were given ginger flavoured Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola Australia spokeswoman Lisa Winn said: "Australians have a love-affair with coffee so we thought why not give them more of what they want.

“We think it will be a great-tasting afternoon pick-me-up - like a delicious antidote to the 3pm slump.”

The variety is already available in Japan, where people seem to be quite keen on the taste.

One tweeted: "Just when I thought these Japanese vending machines couldn't get any weirder there's Coca Cola Coffee Plus...I do love both"

One Aussie Coke fan summarised his experience on Instagram, writing: "Coca-Cola plus coffee review ...it's actually ok and i drank all of it.

"This makes me sad because I thought I had some standards.

"As a result I can't recommend this product because if you don't like it you wasted your money, and if you do you hate yourself for it."

Other flavours from around the world that we miss out on in the UK include black cherry, which is US-only, and Japan's green tea concoction.

In New Zealand there's a raspberry variety, and an orange flavour is popular in Latvia, Poland and Russia.

THE REAL THING This is the real reason Coke cans are red… and it has nothing to do with Christmas

However, mixing coffee and coke is nothing new, and ten years ago Coke discontinued a very similar flavour that was available across Europe and the US.

Coke Blak was described as 'Coke effervescence with coffee essence' and available in Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Slovakia and Spain.

However, there are some delicious new junk food treats available in the UK for hungry Brits, including Burger King's returning Angry Collection.

And KFC could be going upmarket with beer battered chicken and crispy fried skins all vying to appear on the chain's new menu.
