A new Keurig single-serve soda maker due later this year may be a hotter item than the company’s dominant coffee brewer, Coca-Cola Co. Chief Executive Officer Muhtar Kent said.

The device, developed by Keurig Green Mountain Inc. with help from investor Coca-Cola, will allow consumers to mix individual branded soft drinks at home. Keurig will market the devices along with flavor pods that produce a carbonation-inducing reaction when injected with water. Keurig Cold will complement Keurig’s home coffee brewer, which also uses pods.
