Caffeine lovers can soon get a double shot of Coca-Cola and coffee in one sweet addictive fix.

Coca-Cola Australia has announced the launch of its new Batch Blends range, which consists of two coffee flavours infused with chocolate and caramel.

The company describes its latest range as sophisticated with a dark and mysterious edge to the Coca-Cola classic designed to appeal to adult tastebuds.

The new coffee drink blend has around 35ml of caffeine per 250ml can, compared to 40ml in a 100ml cup of coffee and 48.75 in a 375ml can of the Coke classic.

Both flavours contain no sugar and include blend of real coffee sourced from Brazil.

'Coca-Cola Batch Blends have been crafted for the curious mind and those after drinks with more adventurous flavours,' a Coca-Cola spokeswoman said.

'This premium range gives Australians the chance to explore sophisticated tastes in social settings when out and about enjoying a drink or a meal with friends.'

The news sparked a divided reaction on social media.

'Seriously guys? did you learn nothing last time? You've tried to put Coke and coffee together before and it was disgusting,' one woman tweeted.

With coffee flavoured chocolate or caramel infused Coca-Cola to choose from, the 250ml cans will only be available in selected bars, hotels, cafes and restaurants
