Mr. Brown Coffee (Chinese: 伯朗咖啡; pinyin: Bólǎng Kāfēi) is a series of canned coffee products produced by King Car Group of Taiwan. It was launched in 1982. Mr. Brown Coffee is sold in 240ml steel cans and 330ml plastic bottles. Varieties include original, espresso, cappuccino, vanilla, Colombian, Macadamia nut, Black and Blue Mountain Style.

As part of the 2008 Chinese milk scandal, it was discovered that the same melamine-contaminated milk was being used for Mr. Brown instant coffee mixes.[1] The company then switched to New Zealand-sourced milk for their products.

In 2019, to celebrate Brunei's 35th National Day, Mr. Brown released specially-designed cans featuring Bruneian landmarks such as the RIPAS Bridge and SOAS Mosque.

As of January 2019, Mr. Brown Cafe operated 38 locations around Taiwan.[2]
