Save Up To 10% With Brown Bear Coffee and Explore Their Collections Here How do you make your coffee? Freshly ground coffee does have a very distinctive flavour, and you won’t get quite the same level of freshness from pods (as the coffee has been pre-ground before being sealed in the pod). That said, producers have put a lot of work and effort into ensuring they source high-quality beans, and employ roasting methods that bring out maximum taste. I am a fan of leisurely sipping coffee from the comfort of a coffee-shop armchair, but Lavazza (ESE Pods) Gran Espresso pods promise easy Italian espresso at home, so maybe I can save myself a trip out! We understand that regular cleaning of your coffee equipment is crucial to ensure that your coffee tastes its best every time. The company sources quality coffee beans from farmers all over the world. The beans are then transported to the UK where they are air roasted (rather than drum roasted) in a cutting-edge convection coffee roaster.

Made with 8g of coffee, these Moreish Coffee Bags are blended from South American beans, producing a bold and unflinchingly intense brew. As a fan of dark, strong coffee these were just my cup of tea (oops – sorry coffee), and at around 23p per bag they offer good value. You’ll also be helping the ‘Free The Bears’ UK charity when you buy from Brown Bear with 5% of all sales going to the charity. It tastes great and is good for your conscience. Again though, that would count for nothing (at least in terms of this list) if the coffee wasn’t up to scratch.At around 30p per bag this product is on the pricier side, but for that you are getting high-quality coffee. Freshness is of paramount importance, and each bag is wrapped and sealed to confine the flavour.

It’s a crowd pleaser. The perfect coffee to have in and serve to your guests, for that after-dinner drink – it may not blow people away, but it is an delightfully full-bodied coffee that will appeal to the majority of coffee drinkers.Clean, easy to use, pre-portioned, and environmentally friendly, coffee bags are billed as a handy (and tasty) alternative to a fresh brew. They resemble tea bags, but, as you would expect, the little heat-sealed material bags contain ground coffee instead of tea! Thankfully, making a cup is as easy as 1-2-3: You don’t need a pricy coffee machine to use ESE coffee pods, just an affordable espresso machine. Of course, you can buy fresh coffee beans and a grinder, and grind the beans yourself, but this is time-consuming and messy (plus you have the added hassle of cleaning out the grinder after you’ve used it). ESE pods make for an efficient (and clean) alternative! Just pop your pod into the filter and you’re off. Do Coffee Pods Taste Good? You can’t brew ESE coffee pods in a cup with boiling water – but akin to instant and coffee bags, the ESE pods are are very easy to use. The coffee pods contain fresh ground coffee and are sealed for freshness. You use the pods in an espresso machine and in just a few seconds you can enjoy a quality cup of coffee. Coffee Pods Vs Coffee Capsules

With all of these benefits in mind, it’s little wonder that coffee is so popular. For some, making and savouring a good cup of coffee is almost a ritual. They enjoy nothing more than a plunge with a French press or the drip from a pour over! You can also grind your coffee to the size that you prefer the most, and to suit your equipment – espresso machines work best with a fine grind, whereas a cafetiere prefers a coarser grind. In fact, used coffee bags can actually prove advantageous to the land. Coffee grounds are a great source of phosphorous, slow-release nitrogen (grounds contain around 2% of nitrogen), and organic matter. Simply spread the grounds around the earth surrounding your plants. The Verdict on Coffee Bags Unsurprisingly, this coffee has already been recognised as one of the best around, winning the prestigious Great Taste Award in 2017.I suppose it’s a bit like the difference between a freshly baked pizza from an artisan restaurant, or a frozen oven-pizza from Iceland. Both can serve a function, but as an experience, they are not really comparable. Why Grind Your Own Coffee?

In fact, New Kings go one further to make an impact. They are determined to support farmers, workers and communities in their coffee growing regions by donating to the charity Grounds for Health. The charity organises treatment, health screening and training in developing regions – with the aim of helping patients suffering from cervical medical issues. I place a cup under the machine and wait, I have high hopes for the Costa NESCAFE ® Dolce Gusto ® Compatible Espresso Coffee Pods . Each capsule is carefully crafted, using a signature Mocha Italia blend, promising a smooth and enchanting flavour. Obviously, a decaffeinated coffee will not be for everyone, and to be honest, I didn’t think it would be for me – but I have taken to having a bag of this in my cupboard for those late afternoons where I really fancy another delicious coffee, but have already had far too many cups already!Grinding your own coffee is another option that you may not have considered yet. It can seem a bit of a daunting prospect, but it might be worth giving it serious thought. Ground coffee is much more expensive than instant coffee, and, obviously, the process of making a cup takes much longer. So is it worth it? I appreciate coffee devotees might screw their noses up at the thought of using a pod over freshly ground beans, but if you’re short of time (as many of us are), pods are so much more convenient. There’s no mess to clean up after, you simply pop a pod into your machine, put your cup underneath and press start. A few seconds later you will have a quality cup of coffee to get your lips around. Our coffee cleaning products are specially designed to remove stubborn stains, oils, and residue that can build up over time in your coffee equipment. Whether you have a coffee machine, grinder, or French press, we have the cleaning solution to keep it clean and fresh. We must also give a nod to the eco-friendliness of coffee bags in comparison to the likes of instant coffee and pods. Coffee bags generally produce less waste, and most are made from biodegradable materials (no plastic here thank you very much). The bags break down easily – so you can dispose of them in your food waste bin without the worry of adding to landfill.
