Who is this relevant for?

Regular coffee drinker

You often have taaitaai with your coffee and want an amount that suits how much you use at home. A larger bag also needs a suitable place to store what’s left.

Commuter taking a portion with them

You want to take some taaitaai from your home supply in your bag, without carrying the whole opened pack with you. So consider how you’ll store the rest once it’s open, too.

Shopper with allergy or gluten requirements

A standard bag of taaitaai won’t necessarily be suitable. Check the ingredients, allergen information and any gluten-free label on the pack you’re actually buying.

What should you look for?

First, work out how much taaitaai you usually eat. Then consider how you’ll take a portion with you and store the rest. If you have specific ingredient or allergen requirements, start by checking the label.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Amount Compare the pack sizes with how often you eat taaitaai. If I regularly have taaitaai with my coffee, I want a bag that suits how much I use. Around 50% of consumers put finding the right amount first.
Taking it with you and storage Check whether you can set a portion aside at home, and follow the storage advice on the pack. When I’m out and about, I’d rather take a portion than carry a whole opened bag; for around 25% of consumers, practical use matters most.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients list and allergen information, and check for a gluten-free label if needed. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know exactly what’s in this particular taaitaai. Around 25% of consumers prioritise checking the label.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming standard taaitaai is suitable for every allergy

    The PLUS version lists wheat, rye and milk, among other ingredients, and warns that other allergens may also be present. This doesn’t tell you what’s in every other version.

    When buying, read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ve chosen. If you’re looking for a gluten-free product, check the label on that specific product.

  • Opening a large bag without a storage plan

    If you only take a portion now and then, the rest of the bag will stay at home. PLUS’s product information says to store it in a cool, dry and dark place; Jumbo advises storing it in a cool, dry place.

    Choose an amount that suits how much you use, reseal an opened bag properly and follow the storage advice on the pack.

Frequently asked questions

For coffee on the go, should I choose a large or small bag of taaitaai?

Choose a size that suits how often you eat a portion and how much you want to keep at home. PLUS lists both a 250 g and a 500 g pack. If you choose a larger bag, consider how you’ll seal and store the rest once it’s open.
