The 6 coffee wood chew sizes: length, diameter and weight
Coffee wood is sold by size, but a size name means little until you know the length, the diameter and the weight behind it. Here are our six sizes, XS to XXL, as we quote them, how far a natural piece can move from those numbers, and how to keep sizes straight between our codes and your listing.

The size table
| Size | Length | Diameter | Weight per piece | Single-piece code |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 10–11 cm | 1.5–2 cm | 23–30 g | CC01XS |
| S | 13–14 cm | 2–2.5 cm | 35–45 g | CC01S |
| M | 17–18 cm | 2.5–3.5 cm | 90–110 g | CC01M |
| L | 18–19 cm | 3.5–4.5 cm | 120–180 g | CC01L |
| XL | 20–21 cm | 4.5–5.5 cm | 230–400 g | CC01XL |
| XXL | 22–23 cm | 5.5–8 cm | 325–600 g | CC01XXL |
These are the figures from our 2026 quotation table, and the same figures appear on our coffee wood product page. If you hold an older catalogue that shows different lengths or weights, use this table.
Why the weight ranges are wide
Look at XL and XXL: 230–400 g and 325–600 g. The length range is narrow, but the diameter range of the big sizes is wide: XXL runs from 5.5 to 8 cm across. Weight grows much faster than diameter, because a piece that is a little thicker is a lot more wood, so the heavier sizes carry the widest weight spread.
Two practical points follow. First, if your listing shows a weight, show the range, not a single number. Second, if your freight or Amazon fees depend on weight, plan on the upper end of the range for XL and XXL.
Tolerances: what we write on the proforma
Every piece has its own shape and grain, so a natural chew never matches a drawing. What matters is that both sides agree in advance how far a piece may move. We write size tolerances in centimetres on the proforma invoice, per size:
| Size | Diameter tolerance |
|---|---|
| XS, S | 0.3–0.5 cm |
| M, L | 0.5–1 cm |
| XL, XXL | 1.5–2.5 cm |
Length moves by about 0.5–1 cm in every size. Tolerances are in centimetres, not percent: a percentage of a thin diameter would be tighter than a natural material can hold. The accepted crack rate is a separate line: it depends on the sizes in your order and is written on the proforma invoice before you pay a deposit. Why drying and packing decide cracking: coffee wood moisture, 14% at the core.
Climate moves wood too
Wood swells in Vietnam's heat and shrinks in a cold market. A difference of up to 0.5 cm between our measurement and yours in a cold climate is normal, and the longer the piece, the more it moves. Measure samples after they have sat in your own warehouse for a while, not on the day they arrive.
Our size names and your listing's size names
Some Amazon sellers list our sizes one step down: what we call M appears as "Small" on their listing, our L as "Medium", and so on. That is a valid choice, because the listing names are the seller's. It becomes a problem only when nobody writes the mapping down and someone picks stock by the word on the label.
- Agree sizes by our code and the measurements, not by the words Small, Medium or Large.
- Codes follow one pattern: CC01 plus the size for a single piece, S2CC01 plus the size for a set of 2, S3CC01 plus the size for a set of 3.
- Tell us at the start which naming your listing uses. We note it on your file and pack by code.

Why we stop at XXL
Buyers sometimes ask for a stick longer than 23 cm. We do not cut longer than XXL, even at a higher price. The reason is the cutting arithmetic.
Coffee wood left in the open cracks and rots at both ends, so 5–7 cm is cut off each end and only the sound middle is used. The raw wood is bought by the tonne, with knots, bends and existing cracks mixed in. From the same bar, a 22–23 cm finished length gives three pieces; a 27–28 cm length gives two. Five more centimetres would cost a whole piece per bar, and across tens of thousands of pieces the waste becomes a price no one would pay.
Choosing sizes for a first order
Our minimum is 50 pcs per product, and the sizes inside that product can be split any way you like. 50 coffee wood chews spread across four sizes is one valid line. That makes a first order a cheap way to learn which sizes sell in your market before you commit to volume.
- Coffee wood is packed 1, 2 or 3 pieces per vacuum bag, so you can sell singles or sets. Ask us which set sizes we pack for the sizes you choose.
- If you design your own box or insert, design it around the product size. A vacuum bag measured after sealing is smaller than the bag before sealing, so say which one you mean when we compare figures.
- Our standard export carton is 51 × 31 × 39 cm. Carton counts are confirmed after a trial pack with your actual sets; see 7 decisions before your first FBA order.
Gorilla coffee wood
Gorilla pieces are the same wood cut as short, thick blocks: four sizes, S to XL, 8–16 cm long and about 155 g to 1.1 kg per piece across the range. Exact ranges per size are confirmed with your quote. See Gorilla coffee wood.

Questions buyers ask about coffee wood sizes
How many sizes of coffee wood chews do you make?
Six: XS, S, M, L, XL and XXL, from 10–11 cm long and 23–30 g up to 22–23 cm long and 325–600 g.
Can you cut a longer stick than XXL?
No. We do not cut longer than XXL. A longer finished piece wastes a whole piece per raw bar.
How much can a piece differ from the table?
Length moves by about 0.5–1 cm. Diameter tolerance is 0.3–0.5 cm for XS and S, 0.5–1 cm for M and L, and 1.5–2.5 cm for XL and XXL. We write these on the proforma invoice.
Can I mix sizes inside the minimum order?
Yes. The minimum is 50 pcs per product, and you can split it across sizes in any mix.
My listing calls your M size Small. Is that a problem?
No, as long as we agree sizes by our product code and measurements. Tell us your naming at the start and we pack by code.
