Powder or capsules in your establishment
Two ways to serve ube latte as a professional: powder, free and versatile, or the capsule, fast and consistent. Here's how to choose based on your business, your pace and your team.
Two service logics
Powder gives freedom: it works for drinks as well as pastry and ice cream, doses finely and offers the lowest cost per cup. The capsule gives consistency: pre-dosed, it delivers an identical result at every service and cuts prep time, a real asset at peak hours or with a rotating team.
Ube latte capsules are an Ube Time exclusive. They existed nowhere before we imagined them.

How to decide
A creative coffee shop or an establishment that wants to bring ube into pastry and ice cream will choose powder, for freedom and margin. A high-volume venue or fast service, a hotel, a chain, a changing team will win with capsules, for consistency and simplicity. Many establishments combine both: powder for creation, the capsule for express service.
