In addition to selling freshly ground coffee drinks, Starbucks' products also cover coffee beans, tea, desserts, coffee utensils, etc. As early as 2007, Starbucks began to launch ready-to-drink coffee, and the Frappuccino ready-to-drink coffee series has occupied the first place in sales in the United States for many years, and the price is about twice that of Nescafe. Starbucks' ready-to-drink coffee first appeared on the shelves of imported beverages in China, selling for about 30 yuan, close to the price of a cup of freshly ground Starbucks coffee, and Chinese consumers didn't buy it. Later, Starbucks handed over the production of ready-to-drink coffee to Master Kong's factory, and the price was halved, and it began to be gradually accepted by the public. The Frappuccino Bottled Series is Starbucks' earliest ready-to-drink coffee product, which is one of Starbucks' most classic products in terms of taste and flavor. Frappuccino ready-to-drink coffee is now priced at about 15 yuan, with three flavors: mocha, caramel, and original.

The success of Coffee Joy in Japan was so successful that in 2009, Coffee entered the U.S. market, but it was almost exclusively available in Asian supermarkets. In 2014, Qiaoya landed in China's ready-to-drink coffee market, but because of its late entry and lack of characteristics, Qiaoya's performance in China was mediocre and was suppressed by Nescafe everywhere. In response to the preferences of Chinese consumers, Joya has launched two espresso drinks, namely a mellow latte and a strong aroma American, which are packaged in a goblet inspired design by a siphon pot, and are priced at about 6 yuan. Choya Coffee uses Brazilian Robusta beans as raw materials, and the mellow latte uses whole milk powder, which has more sugar added, and the sweetness is prominent and the coffee flavor is relatively weak; The strong aroma American style is the same as the ordinary American ready-to-drink coffee, and the main raw materials are water and coffee.
