Chewable coffee that can be eaten on the go, Koba Coffee Bar and Litos Coffee Chews
In general, when it comes to coffee, it is common to drink it using a drip method or a capsule machine. However, when I went to Yongsan CGV, I came across a different coffee product sold at a pop-up store.
The product name was Littos Coffee Chews, and it was made like candy so that you can eat coffee while carrying it. It was also a different way from the usual way of eating, and it looked easy to carry as it was contained in a small tin case. I was able to try out the products sold at the stand, so I tried two types.
Since they were made in candy form, it would be difficult to eat if only coffee was included in a small size, but it was not difficult to eat because of a little bit sweet taste.
When I came back home and looked for information about the product, I was a little surprised to find out that the person selling it at the stand was the CEO of COBA.
I found out while looking for information, but there were products developed and sold by COBA Korea, but the products in the tin case were imported and sold by a company called Littos from New Zealand.
I bought a Littos coffee chews because it was packaged in a tin case like the mini candy sold at places like Starbucks, and Littos looked good in terms of portability.

Comparison of COBA coffee bar and Littos coffee chews
Among the products sold at the pop-up store, the ones that can be eaten on the go are chocolate-like coffee made in the form of a bar made by Kova Korea, and Littos products imported and sold in the form of candy in a tin case.
There were two types of coffee. Each COBA coffee bar is individually wrapped, and it is in a bag, so if you want to carry it individually, you will need a bag or a jacket with pockets.
On the other hand, Littos coffee chuu has a small tin case and can be carried in a trouser pocket, so in terms of portability, it looked better than the Koba coffee bar.

In the case of COBA, one pcs contains about 1/2 the amount of caffeine of one cup of coffee, so if you eat two pcs, you can consume the amount of caffeine for one cup of coffee.
Also, since it is similar to a chocolate bar, you can put it in a bag and carry it with you, but it will melt if a certain amount of heat continues.
The price that was sold at the pop-up store was 56,000 KRW for 20 pieces, but if you look at what is being sold on Naver Shopping, there are also 10 pieces. In the case of Littos, it is said that one tin case of candy contains the amount of caffeine for one cup of coffee.
It's in a tin case, so it's good to carry individually, and it's in the form of a small candy, so you can eat it little by little, so I thought it'd be better than a COBA coffee bar to eat while on the go.
The price that was sold at the pop-up store was 13,200 KRW for 4 tin cases, and although they were not sold individually, you can purchase them individually, although delivery costs will be included in Naver Shopping. You just have to buy it, try it, and then buy only the kind that suits your taste.
Littos Coffee Chews reviews
Littos coffee chews are not made in Korea, but are made by Littos, a New Zealand company. Although it was sold at the pop-up store of COVA Korea, the actual importer in Korea is elsewhere. So, there are several places in Naver Shopping, and there are also open markets that sell overseas purchases.
While Coba's coffee bar has only one flavor, Littos' Coffee Chews has four different flavors. Among them, I tried two types at the pop-up store: double espresso and chocolate mocha.
The double espresso was so bitter that it felt more like I was eating granular coffee rather than eating candy. And in the case of Choco Mocha, I personally liked Choco Mocha more because I could feel the bitterness of coffee and slightly sweet taste of mocha coffee.
I haven't tried it, but I've been told that ice mint doesn't taste like mint, but rather sweetened mint candy.
The price sold at the pop-up store was 13,200 KRW for 4 tin cases, but you can purchase it for about 3,000 KRW per tin case at Naver Shopping or the open market. In the case of overseas purchases, there are some places that sell them at a lower price, but the shipping cost is about 10,000 KRW, so it is much cheaper to purchase as it is delivered domestically.
One tin case contains 25 candies, and although they are called candy, they are softer than regular candies or caramel and slightly harder than jelly. Put it in your mouth and it will start to melt after a while, and it doesn't feel stuffy, so you can take it with you and eat it lightly.
