Market Overview

Coffee and tea capsules are single-serving pods or capsules filled with pre-measured coffee or tea. They are intended for use in capsule-compatible brewing devices, such as coffee machines or tea infusers. Capsules allow for perfect portion control, resulting in consistent flavor and power with each meal. The capsule's contents are precisely metered to provide an appropriate quantity of coffee or tea, leading to a uniform taste experience. Coffee and tea capsules are currently quite popular in Japan due to their ease, consistency, and variety of flavors. They are used in equipment for making capsules that is compatible with them. The airtight containers used to make these capsules help to preserve the freshness and aroma of the coffee or tea. Each capsule has a predetermined amount of tea leaves or coffee grounds in it, guaranteeing a consistent brew in terms of both quality and flavor. Once inside the machine, the capsules are punctured to release the flavors by the passage of hot water. The resulting tea or coffee is then poured straight into a cup.
