If you want something to take with you without any preparation, an individually wrapped pack is handy. The Duyvis Provençale box contains twenty 45 g packs, but that may not be the portion size you want. A single 125 g bag is a better choice if you’d rather decide how much to eat with each coffee, while a 300 g bag is best portioned at home. Choose a flavour you like and check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.
You want to take an individually wrapped pack with your coffee, without weighing it out or repacking it at home first. The Duyvis box reviewed contains twenty 45 g packs; Kantinewinkel.nl describes this amount as one to two portions.
You don’t want to treat the entire retail pack as a single portion and would rather decide how much to eat on the go. With individual 125 g bags, the contents of the bag are different from the amount you choose for one coffee break.
You don’t mind portioning snacks at home and want a larger bag to keep in stock. The Jumbo, ALDI and PLUS listings reviewed are for 300 g bags, so you’ll need to portion out what you want to take with you.
First decide whether you want a pack you can take with you as it is, or whether you’d rather portion it yourself. Then check the flavour and any ingredients that matter to you.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking a snack without any preparation | Check the number of individual packs and the weight of each one, not just the total weight of the box. | If you want to grab an unopened pack on the go without weighing it out at home, convenience comes first for you; around 31% of consumers say convenience on the go is their main buying concern. |
| Choosing how much you eat | Distinguish between the bag’s net weight, any stated portion size and the number of individually wrapped packs. | Would you rather choose the amount for each coffee break yourself, even if that means repacking or weighing it out? Around 25% of consumers prioritise having this control over portion size. |
| Taking snacks with you regularly | Compare the amount you actually want to take with you, and bear in mind that you’ll need to portion it yourself and store any opened packaging. | If you want to prepare snacks at home for several days of travel and don’t mind portioning them yourself, the overall cost of buying snacks regularly matters more; around 19% of consumers prioritise the cost of taking snacks with them repeatedly. |
| Flavour with coffee | Duyvis describes Provençale as onion and garlic flavoured, and Cocktail as savoury. Choose according to your own preference, as these descriptions don’t prove which flavour pairs best with coffee. | If you mainly want to choose a flavour you enjoy with your coffee, your personal taste is what matters; around 13% of consumers prioritise flavour. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the exact flavour and the current packaging. Jumbo lists peanuts and wheat for Cocktail 300 g; the Duyvis Provençale 20 × 45 g packaging also needs to be checked for product-specific details. | If ingredients or dietary requirements determine your choice, it’s best to check each variant individually; around 12% of consumers prioritise ingredients and whether a product meets their personal dietary needs. |
A 125 g bag and an individual 45 g pack are different pack sizes. The amount stated on the packaging doesn’t automatically tell you how much you’ll want to eat with one coffee.
Check both the contents of the retail pack and the number of individual packs, then decide how much you want to take with you.
The vegan label shown by PLUS for its Oriental-style variant doesn’t automatically apply to other flavours, and it doesn’t mean a product is free from allergens. Peanuts and wheat are among the ingredients listed for the products reviewed.
Read the current ingredients list and warnings on the packaging of the exact variant you’re considering.

Follow the storage advice on the packaging for your variant. For the Duyvis Provençale packs reviewed, HANOS recommends keeping them in a cool, dry place and storing them in a light- and airtight container once opened. For Jumbo Cocktail 300 g, Jumbo advises storing it in a cool, dry, dark place.
The Jumbo Cocktail 300 g and Duyvis Provençale 20 × 45 g products reviewed contain peanuts and wheat. HANOS also states that the Duyvis variant may contain milk, mustard, nuts and soya. If you have a relevant allergy, always check the current packaging for the exact variant. A vegan label doesn’t prove that a product is allergen-free.
According to the European Union, mandatory food information includes the product name, ingredients, allergens, net quantity, best-before date and nutritional information, as well as storage and preparation instructions where applicable. Allergens must stand out in the ingredients list. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority stresses that allergens must be declared clearly and correctly.
