Who is this relevant for?

Budget-conscious shopper

You’re looking for taaitaai to have with your coffee and want to choose a pack you’ll actually use. ALDI, Dirk and PLUS each list a 500 g bag.

Hotel guest on a short stay

You want taaitaai to enjoy with your coffee without any preparation, but don’t want to be left with a large amount. Check the net weight and storage instructions for anything you don’t eat straight away.

Shopper avoiding gluten or other allergens

Choose based on the ingredients and allergens listed on the specific pack. Gluten-free taaitaai isn’t automatically free from other allergens: according to Albert Heijn, the Consenza variety lists oats, almonds and nuts, among other ingredients.

What should you look for?

First decide whether you’ll be sharing the taaitaai or eating it on your own. Then consider how much you can use and check the ingredients if you have dietary requirements or need to avoid certain allergens.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Amount for sharing over coffee Check the net weight; ALDI, Dirk and PLUS list 500 g packs. If you’re sharing the taaitaai with others, you’ll want to choose a bag you can finish. For around 50% of consumers, sharing is the most important factor.
Amount for a short stay Think about how much you want to eat or take with you, and read how to store the rest. If you’re travelling alone, you won’t want to be left with lots of taaitaai after your coffee. Around 30% of consumers prioritise an amount that suits a short stay.
Gluten and other allergens Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the pack you’re buying. If you need to avoid certain ingredients, finding a suitable recipe matters more than the size of the bag. For around 20% of consumers, this is the main consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing a large bag without thinking about leftovers

    A 500 g pack may contain more taaitaai than you’ll want to eat during a short stay, especially if you’re travelling alone.

    Before buying, decide how much you want with your coffee and whether you can take the rest with you and store it as instructed on the pack.

  • Assuming gluten-free means free from all allergens

    According to Albert Heijn, Consenza gluten-free taaitaai also lists oats, almonds and nuts. So the gluten-free label won’t answer every question about allergens.

    Check the full ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re buying.

  • Relying on an old product listing

    An old product page doesn’t tell you whether the same taaitaai is available when you’re ready to buy.

    Check the current listing or contact the shop if you’re looking for a specific pack.
