CU is launching a new menu item called ‘get Ddungba Iced Latte (XL)’ using Binggrae Banana Flavored Milk. By adding banana flavored milk into a Delafe big ice cup and then adding an espresso shot, you can enjoy a sweet and savory banana-flavored cafe latte. The discount event runs until the end of this month, reducing the original price of 3,100 won by 500 won.

They also prepared a 'get Bbangppare Affogato' combo event. It is completed by adding an espresso shot into a coffee cup and topping it with Bbangppare vanilla ice cream. The price is discounted from 2,700 won to 2,200 won, a 500 won discount.

Previously, on social networking services (SNS), the 'get Iced Latte (XL)' enjoyed by adding an espresso shot to Yonsei Milk became a hot topic. As a result, CU's espresso sales increased by 34.3% compared to the previous month last month.

A BGF Retail official said, “As more customers look for instant coffee at convenience stores due to ongoing price increases, we prepared various events to offer special enjoyment,” and added, “CU will continue to plan differentiated events using get coffee to provide maximum benefits to customers.”
