Kopiko Mini Coffee
Kopiko sounds like it ought to be Russian doesn’t it? It isn’t (it comes from Thailand) which is why I am reviewing it today. That and because it is coffee candy.
Kopiko is cutely square and flat and decently coffee tasting. It’s not a great coffee and it does have a hint of manufactured taste around the edges but all in all it’s a coffee candy I can’t complain too much about. It is a tad “cooked in the pot a wee bit” tasting but at least the candy is smooth. I am not fond of the shredded tongue. Between Esprezzo and Kopiko, Kopiko is the better candy but only by a smidge. Again, I’ll direct you to Kanro Non Sugar Coffee Sankan or even Assi coffee candy for better tasting coffee hard candy but in a pinch, Kopiko will do.
Rating of 3 wasabi peas out of a possible 5 wasabi peas.

Hi nuzul, thanks for commenting. I did a Google search for Kopiko since I usually don’t mention a country unless I find it on the package so I was curious. It turns out, according to Kopiko.co.uk “Kopiko is manufactured by the Mayora Group, which is one of the largest confectionary manufacturers in Indonesia and Thailand and has a worldwide sales and distribution network.. I probably picked up a package which only mentioned Thailand.
