After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Coffee bags

Anyone else see some potential in this?

Part way down the page - the coffee filter bag.

Could be good for travelling and easy clean up.

    My main issue is that it is a disposable product.  No matter how eco-friendly the product is itself, you still use up resources manufacturing the thing, only to throw it away at the end.  The beauty of cloth and mesh filters is they can be used for coffee and tea, and they are re-usable. You may have issues with product freshness as well, unless you have vacuum sealed packs, which leads to other issues with product quality. For travelling, manual grind/brew options are still the best bet.  You can also get hot water nearly anywhere.

    I think the people who are sticklers for the rule of 3's will take issue with this as a method.  I however think it could be a great idea and coupled with a good system of storage... Dare I even say a vacuvin container you could possibly get a couple of days before the stale taint takes over. Perfect for those short trips or even a couple of no-fuss coffee days at work.  Best bet would be to make up a batch and at least drink one every day until you decide they are past their use-by. My palate is okay and I bet I couldn't tell the difference between 3 minutes and 3 days with this method... good storage permitting!  Interesting find Eco issues not withstanding.

    Back in the dim dark past work life in Melbourne I used to have a small stash of commercial coffee bags in the office drawer instead of the normal rubbish instunt available. When compared to preground supermarket and plunger/pourover option at home they were still not to bad. Compared to a handgrinder good fresh beans and a lightweight manual brewer there is no way they will compete on flavour. The only place for them is in light weight hiking and even then I would be back to suffering instunt for space reasons for a decent hike. Would I bother making them for myself or others these days nope for me.

    While these are a little off the coffee bags topic looks like a highly portable solution. http://shop.wreckingballcoffee.com/product/kalita-kantan-dripper-pack Don't know anything about them but Nick mentions he will have a video up later in the week.
