Emerging Coffee Formats
A New Coffee Landscape Is Taking Shape
Coffee consumption is moving beyond traditional formats. Pods, Capsules and Coffee Bags are creating new ways to consume coffee at home, but their scale and adoption vary widely. For a leading coffee brand, the question was not just whether these formats were growing, but which ones mattered and where they were taking off.

Summary
How did Bintix help understand the evolution of emerging coffee formats?
The brand needed a clear view of the emerging market. Bintix mapped household consumption across Pods, Capsules and Coffee Bags to understand how each format was developing across markets. Our work covered:
- Measuring the size and growth of Pods, Capsules, and Coffee Bags individually
- Checking how much each format was used at the household level
- Comparing cities to see where each format was catching on
the Challenge
Identifying the Formats Gaining Traction
Emerging coffee formats were growing at different speeds and from very different bases. Looking at Coffee as one category could hide these differences. The challenge was to separate the formats and understand which ones were becoming meaningful household opportunities.

Over a three-year period, Bintix tracked household buying patterns to understand:
- How each format was scaling
- How many households used each one, and how much
- Which brands were active within each format
- Where growth was concentrated across six metros
