Kopiko was introduced in 1982 by PT Mayora Indah Tbk, an Indonesian consumer goods company established in 1977. At a time when coffee candies were still a relatively new concept in Indonesia, Kopiko pioneered the category by creating a candy made with real coffee extract, giving consumers a portable coffee experience without brewing a cup. [1]

The name “Kopiko” is inspired by the Kōpiko coffee bean, a rare coffee variety found in Hawaii. The brand’s identity revolves around delivering the rich flavor and aroma of real coffee in convenient formats. [2]

According to Kopiko, its products are made using coffee beans sourced from Indonesia’s volcanic regions, where fertile soil and favorable climate support coffee cultivation. The company highlights careful bean selection, roasting, and extraction processes to preserve the natural coffee aroma and flavor before incorporating them into candies, coffee mixes, and beverages.

The brand has built strong market recognition through extensive advertising, wide retail distribution, and affordable pricing. [3]

Kopiko positions itself as a brand that delivers the experience of real coffee in convenient formats. Its marketing often emphasizes:

• Real coffee extract

• Authentic coffee taste

One of Kopiko’s most widely publicized achievements is that its coffee candy has been included in food supplies used on certain NASA space missions, leading the brand to promote itself as a coffee candy enjoyed even in space. [1]
