Afri Cola

Afri Cola is one of the most iconic German soft drink brands, known for its distinctive bottle design and high caffeine content. It was originally created in 1931 by F. Blumhoffer Nachfolger GmbH in Cologne. The brand became a cultural symbol in West Germany during the 1960s, largely due to its avant-garde advertising campaigns.

Today, the brand belongs to Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach GmbH & Co. KGaA. While the concentrate is produced centrally to maintain flavor consistency, the soft drink is bottled by various licensed regional mineral springs and beverage manufacturers across Germany and in several international markets. This decentralized production model ensures that the beverage is readily available to consumers while maintaining its heritage as a German-pioneered alternative to American cola brands.
