Coffee Bags

I used to buy coffee bags back in the 1970s. Haven't tried the new ones though.

I've only used them once, in the 70s

Trying to impress my future MIL when we first met at her house I offered to make her a cup of tea....you've guessed it, it was coffee!

I seem to remember it tasted awful but this could have been because I was expecting it to taste of tea....

I use them. I used to use the plastic single-use filters; but felt bad about the plastic, so switched to bags.

The only issue I have with them is that if you brew them for long enough get the right flavour, the coffee isn't red hot, which is how I like it. I'll get used to that, though, and just learn to drink it faster

I didn't use them in the 70s, so can't compare; but I like them, and, to me, they are a million times better than instant.

Bought some Owens ones. V good - gonna take them on holiday

My sister dallied with them for a while in the mid-80s. I can't recall what brand they were but, to my mind, the coffee tasted like insipid mud. (OK, I admit to being a coffee snob). Sister soon reverted to brewing proper coffee.

I have taken Lyons coffee bags with me on holiday, and (separately) in the caravan. Those were excellent for making a cup of real coffee without the faff. Each in seraled in a sachet, so they store well in the van. I didn't leave them to brew for long, just squished them well against the side of the mug with a teaspoon. You can get two cups from one bag (not a big mug, though)

I did find two things though.
One - the flavour of the local water made a difference. Reykjavik water made particularly good coffee - probably because it came from a glacier!
Two - the newer they are, the better they taste. There were some left over from a holiday, which I used up a couple of months later. They were not nearly as good.

in seraled? Is sealed.

I haven't used them as yet but will try them this week,I do use the sachets of 3 in 1 coffee for quickness during the day sometimes but do like a good ground coffee.
I take the sachets away when we go on holiday they are ideal for hotel rooms where you don't have access to fresh milk 24/7.

We buy them often when they are on offer. We find them useful when just one of us wants a coffee. No wastage. But some we have found have a tendency to burst , so lots of grounds in the cup.
