Product Information

Our brew bags are all made with our coffee roasted fresh at Cupper’s Coffee & Tea. And it’s quite the process!

First, we chose one of our most popular coffees. We went with our Gravel Bar Coffee. Second, our master roaster Josh works his magic on the green beans. He ensures you’re getting the freshest roasted coffee. Third, the coffee gets bagged within a couple of days of roasting. Next it’s ground right before it’s portioned in compostable ‘tea bags for coffee’. Each bag is then slipped in an individual sachet.

Finally, each sachet gets filled with nitrogen gas. Nitrogen is an inert gas that replaces and removes the oxygen from the bag. Oxygen is what ages foods and beverages. Removing it preserves the coffee in its current freshest state until you’re ready to use it.

Our bags are fine-crafted using only the finest materials. We take pride in using compostable components. Your brewing experience will be enjoyable and friendly to our environment. These bags are 100% plant-based materials that break down through natural processes.

Brewing Techniques

Brewing coffee with brew bags is a simple process that can result in a perfect cup every time. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you achieve that desired flavor and strength:

First, start by boiling water. Bring fresh, cold, filtered water to a full, rolling boil.
Second, prepare your cup: Place a coffee brew bag into your cup or mug.
Third, steep the coffee bag to perfection. Allow the bag to steep in the hot water for a few minutes. We recommend starting with 3-5 minutes, depending on the desired strength.
Fourth, remove the bag. After steeping, remove the bag from your cup, taking care not to burn yourself.
Finally, sip and enjoy your amazing cup of coffee!

Tips for achieving the desired strength and flavor:

For a stronger brew, increase the steeping time or use less water.
Experiment with different coffee-to-water ratios until you find your ideal strength.

Exploring different brewing methods with coffee brew bags:

Aside from steeping your brew bag, you can also use other various brewing methods.

One popular method is cold brewing. This involves steeping the brew bag in cold water overnight. Cold brewing produces a smooth and less acidic cup of coffee. Perfect for iced summer refreshments, like an iced latte.

In following these steps you can enjoy a perfect cup of coffee tailored to your tastes. Coffee brew bags offer versatility and convenience without compromising on flavor.

Sustainability

Coffee brew bags are a great choice if you care about the environment. They can help reduce waste compared to single-serve pod machines.

One of the best things about these bags is that they create less waste. Pod machines that create garbage. But brew bags break down over time with natural processes.

When you’re picking out steepable coffee bags, look for ones that are sustainable and compostable. You can throw them right into your compost bins. They’ll break down without causing any harm to the environment.
