For many Malaysians, coffee has always been more than just a drink. In neighbourhood kopitiams, a simple cup often becomes the start of conversations, laughter, and shared moments.

One example is ZUS COFFEE. They just added a new item to their ZUS Ngupi line. The newest 2 in 1 Instant White Coffee Zero Sugar is easy to use and tastes like the coffee you get at a kopitiam.

Bringing Convenience to Everyday Coffee

ZUS COFFEE introduced the new ZUS Ngupi product during the KONGSI ZUS COFFEE Concourse Event at Sunway Pyramid. The gathering celebrated the local culture of “mengupi,” where people meet over coffee to chat and spend time together.

Launching the product between Chinese New Year and Ramadan also highlights how coffee remains part of many social moments in Malaysia.

The zero sugar option gives coffee lovers a healthier choice while still keeping the flavour Malaysians know and enjoy.

A Familiar Taste Without Added Sugar

The latest ZUS Ngupi variant removes the sugar while keeping the rich and creamy flavour many people associate with kopitiam coffee.

Made with ZUS COFFEE’s TRIBLENDLOC technology and locally sourced Liberica beans, the drink delivers a taste that stays close to traditional Malaysian coffee.

This mix of old and new shows how the kopitiam culture in Malaysia is still changing as old tastes adapt to new ways of living.

Coffee Beyond The Café

ZUS COFFEE opened its first café in Kuala Lumpur in 2019. Since then, ZUS COFFEE has expanded quickly throughout Malaysia.

In 2024, the coffee chain has expanded into the retail market and introduced ZUS Ngupi products to multiple stores across the country.

Now available at more than 23,000 locations and outlet, the coffee allows Malaysians to enjoy the brand’s flavour at home or while on the go.

This shift reflects a wider trend in the coffee industry, where brands are extending their café experience into convenient retail products.

Honoring the Coffee Culture of Malaysia
