Coffee Bags

Mr.David

Just wondering really - why don't coffee bags exist? I mean, like tea bags except with coffee. I fully understand that this is not the best way to drink coffee, but all the same, surely it would be similar to brewing in a french press apart from the pressing at the end?

I googled it and found some vague references to coffee bags but nothing much really.

Could it be done? Handy for work surely? None of the mess of a french press!

Coffee bags would contain pre-ground coffee, similar to the pods.
As it's preground it'll become stale very quickly.

If you want something for the office with easy clean-up, easier than the
French press, look at the aeropress.

you see them in hotels in the US alot.

but youd want to be pretty desperate.

An American cousin of mine visting here a couple of years ago had coffee bags, a brand called 'Folgers' I think. The missus liked them. I'm a tea man myself so can't comment. Think you can pick them up on ebay.

Mr.David

Maybe they could be packaged individually for freshness? I know they wouldn't make the best coffee - but that's not the point. I would be surprised if there isnt a market for them in some shape or form....

You can get coffee bags in most supermarkets. Lyons are the ones i have, not bad. Robert Roberts also does them.

Rombouts is pretty nice in a pinch (obviously not as nice as freshly ground, but kicks the arse off Instant)

They are coffee bags in plastic cups that you put on the top of a cup or mug. The water strains through the bag. Like I said, not bad if you're stuck....

yeah i got the Lyons ones in a supermarket, tesco, i think. They're individually foil wrapped for freshness. That said, they're not a patch off freshly brewed.. but they'll do for the kick when i'm stuck..:D
