FamilyMart coffee product and technology development

Overview

FamilyMart has implemented several technological and product advancements to its coffee offerings. In mid-2026, the company completed a nationwide rollout of new coffee machines featuring adjustable grinders with nine settings and improved water pouring methods to optimize extraction. This initiative, which included the development of the ‘Premium Mocha’ line supervised by Tetsu Kasuya, contributed to significant sales growth.

Following these technological updates, the retailer announced a major renewal of its ‘Famimaru’ chilled cup coffee series. This update involves a complete overhaul of bean blends and the introduction of an ‘after-mix’ method, where beans are blended after roasting to enhance flavor balance. The renewal also included the launch of ‘Cafe Latte Milk Rich’, a product supervised by barista Satoshi Kasuya designed for a creamy texture and smooth sweetness.
