Consumer verdict: While the idea and concept appealed to our testers, some thought the pack design failed to fully promote the product. Good initial pre-trial appeal heightened expectations, and these were met for many testers, who liked the “lush, not too sweet, flavours” and “subtle taste of vanilla”. Only those in the Midlands expressed concerns about the coffee flavour being not strong enough. Despite this, a good overall score of 42 was achieved and there was a significant rise in purchase intent - from 48% pre-trial to 76% after trial. Four out of 10 testers said they would consider at least a fortnightly purchase, with only a small minority adamant this product was not for them and that they would never buy.
Pre-trial purchase: 48%
Post-trial purchase: 76%
Better than what’s out there: 73%
New and different: 80%
Overall score: 42/50
