Plamil Foods has introduced the world’s first chocolate bar crafted from coffee beans.
The Coffee Bar, made from whole coffee beans instead of cocoa beans, has a silky feel similar to chocolate.
Utilizing a distinctive production method that involves meticulously selected beans roasted in small batches, each bar encapsulates the rich flavors of the coffee beans. The company notes that the introduction of The Coffee Bar aligns with an uptick in chocolate prices and global cocoa bean shortages.
Adrian Ling, CEO of Plamil Foods, remarked, “No one has ever done this before – the exceptional taste and silky texture are a result of our unique production method. It took a year of dedicated development, but we’ve finally mastered the recipe for crafting a coffee bar.”

He added, “Turning coffee into a bar may seem like a novel idea, but it actually makes a lot of sense when you consider the evolution of chocolate. 175 years ago, chocolate was primarily consumed as a drink until Frys of Bristol introduced the chocolate bar.”
“We understand that The Coffee Bar won’t be replacing everyone’s traditional cup of coffee overnight. However, this barista-quality snack is designed for on-the-go individuals who crave coffee enjoyment anytime, anywhere. We’re confident that it has the potential to fulfill consumer demands and tap into the global billion-pound coffee market.”
The Coffee Bar will debut at the London Coffee Festival from April 11-14 and will also be showcased at the Food & Drink Expo from April 29-May 1.
The bar is anticipated to become accessible to customers in the UK shortly, making appearances at service stations, outdoor sports venues, and conventional retail outlets.
