About this deal

Although we were slightly intimidated by the claims of this being the “world’s strongest coffee” – it conjured up images of us bouncing off the walls within seconds of the fist sip – we were pleasantly surprised by this. We were expecting bitter, but we received smooth and we still got a buzz, but a tasty one!

Coffee bags are individually wrapped to keep the coffee fresh. The bag itself is a little finer than a tea bag to help retain coffee grinds during the brewing process. An important factor I wanted to look for when using them. Coffee bags are ideal for those who drink instant coffee, know how to brew a teabag, but have no idea where to begin with making fresh coffee. They are also ideal for established coffee lovers who need an instant version of having a sophisticated coffee on the go. There is an added benefit of not having to clean your coffee machine or French press – which I find traps ground coffee in its layers of mesh causing a build-up of old coffee residue. Nor is there any faff with gadgets or spilled coffee grounds. Do coffee bags taste good? I appreciate your 1 off box in the post but really do I have to beg for you yo please sell in the UK In my opinion, Hot Lava Javais definitely a coffee to drink first thing in the morning; it was the perfect cuppa to set me up for the day. I did also drink this in the late afternoon but found it was too intense and too caffeinated so late in the day and I was unable to fall asleep at my usual hour. However, despite being more expensive than a bag of ground coffee from the same brand, they are still super affordable. The convenience factor clearly outweighs the method of preparing ground coffee straight from a larger bag. How long have coffee bags existed?

However, I was pleasantly surprised! This coffee bag has a much fuller flavour compared with the Rich Italian Roast, which, after drinking Hot Lava Java, I found to be quite thin and insipid. What coffee bags taste the best? Disclaimer: My preference is for a full-bodied, strong, and rich coffee – but not bitter or ‘muddy’, just a hearty coffee that gives me a warm, satisfied feeling. Coffee bags were perfect for my holiday. It was a real treat to have a fresh ground coffee using an ‘instant’ method of brewing: the bags removed grinding, steaming and circulating, and also the inconvenience of making one cup of coffee using coffee equipment. One notable improvement in the manufacturing of coffee bags is the fact that they are 100% compostable. Something we have all come to expect from in the fight against waste. The bags are made from PLA, a plant-based plastic often referred to as BioWeb. Bioweb can be broken down in council compost bins. It cannot be broken down in domestic compost bins due to the heat which is required to decompose it.

So, whether you’re in a rush or simply bored of complicated coffee nonsense – just boil the kettle and off you go. The Decaffe Roast 4is very similar to the Rich Italiancoffee bags. As stated above, I personally brewed it for longer, and I found this to be a nice and well-rounded coffee for the evenings. I took the bag out of its (individual) wrapper and put it in a mug, after which I poured boiling water. As stated, I left the bag to brew for two minutes. I then squeezed the bag at the side of the mug and added a dash of milk – my personal preference. We were looking for an instant, tantalising aroma to take our breath away even before the first sip and a strong but not overpowerful or bitter taste. To make this coffee to my taste, I left the bag in to brew for five minutes and found this gave me a coffee with a condensed flavour that was gratifying.When brewing this coffee bag again, I trialled brewing for five minutes, and found that it did not ‘muddy’ or become bitter; instead, it felt more robust and gratifying – I did not feel the need to drink another one, as I do with some coffees when I don’t feel satisfied.

I found that this produces a weak and mild coffee to my taste, but appreciate that not everyone enjoys a stronger coffee, so this brewing time of two minutes would be a good indicator to those who prefer a delicate and smooth coffee – my partner found this to be amenable to his taste. For my first attempt at brewing I used a Taylors of Harrogate: ‘Rich Italian Roast 4’coffee bag and brewed it for two minutes as recommended in the directions. I had this as my mid-morning coffee. Coffee bags aren’t new to the world of coffee, they have been around since the 1970s. In the last couple of years, they have had a resurgence in popularity with more coffee brands investing in this modest method of brewing; thus, there is a much greater choice on the current market. Are coffee bags compostable?As I have already said, my preference is for a strong coffee, so if you’re not partial to one yourself, I would recommend the Rich Italian Roast 4., brewing to the recommended two minutes or less, dependent on your taste. In fact, I quite enjoyed the Rich Italiancoffee bag, brewed at two minutes, on a hot summer’s day, as it tasted lighter and more refreshing than the Hot Lava Javaever would in this situation. Conclusion With coffee bags growing in popularity and speed and convenience an important factor in our busy lives, I look at what makes them a popular choice amongst coffee drinkers. What are coffee bags?
