Coffee chews: candy or drink?

As people's love and demand for coffee continue to increase, a variety of coffee products have appeared on the market. One of the products that has attracted much attention is coffee chewable tablets. This special form of product has caused a lot of controversy. Some people think it is more like a candy, while others regard it as a new type of drink. So, how should this emerging product be defined? This article will explore it from different angles.

Appearance and taste

First of all, from the appearance and taste, we can find that coffee chewable tablets are different from traditional candies or drinks. They are usually small, flat and hard, similar to pills or chewing gum. When eaten, they need to slowly dissolve over a long period of time and continuously release flavor to get the best experience.

In contrast, traditional candies commonly seen on the market are often overly sweet and soften quickly, while beverages focus more on refreshing taste and ease of drinking. Coffee chewable tablets have found a balance between the two, with both the sweetness and sustainability of candies and the rich coffee aroma of beverages.

Ingredients and production process

Secondly, from the perspective of ingredients and production process, we can further explore whether coffee chewable tablets are closer to candy or beverages. Generally speaking, candy is mainly composed of raw materials such as sugar, water, and food coloring, and is made through processes such as heating and solidification. Traditional beverages are based on liquids, in which various flavoring agents, preservatives, etc. are added.

In contrast, coffee chewable tablets use more similar raw materials and processes to traditional beverages. They usually use high-quality fresh coffee bean powder, add appropriate amount of water, mix and stir, and then compress and shape. This not only retains the original flavor and nutrients, but also extends the shelf life and is easy to carry.

Function and use

Finally, from the perspective of function and use, coffee chewable tablets are closer to a beverage. Traditional candies are mainly for taste and rarely have other functions. Beverages are often added with various nutrients and health benefits to meet people's health needs while enjoying delicious food.

Coffee chewable tablets combine the characteristics of both. Not only does it have a strong coffee aroma and sweetness, it can also provide a certain degree of refreshing effect, and is rich in nutrients such as antioxidants and vitamins. Therefore, consuming one or several of these products when you are busy at work or need to concentrate is a very ideal choice.

Summarize

In summary, although some people regard it as candy and some people regard it as a drink, from the three aspects of appearance and taste, ingredients and production process, and function and use, we can conclude that coffee chewable tablets are closer to a new type of drink. It has both the sweetness and sustainability of candy and the rich coffee aroma and functionality of a drink. Therefore, the positioning of this product in the market should be more inclined to a new type of drink rather than a traditional candy.
