Why doesn't coffee come in coffee bags (just like tea bags)?

Best Answers

It does. Folger's, for example, sells "singles", which is basically coffee grounds in a tea bag. I used these long ago when I had a job where I had access to hot water but not a coffee maker. They made mediocre coffee but it was better than going without. read more

Putting tea fannings in tea bags was a less expensive way to sell tea, making it more affordable for the average consumer or those who could not afford to purchase a quality loose leaf tea. Coffee was never expensive so it was never necessary to offer bags as an alternative. read more

Ive been drinking Javazen for over 3 years now, and it wasn't until just this year that they launched the coffee tea bag - before the tea bag, they only sold their blends in loose grounds. Edit: After doing some more reading, it looks like Javazen was able to craft a quality coffee tea bag by creating a new tea bag "technology" that allows your coffee to brew more similarly to a french press. read more

French presses use immersion brewing, no force required. Siphons do use force, but only to separate the grounds from the coffee, so it's not due to that like some people have said. Now, for coffee snobs like myself, preground coffee already in a bag just won't do it. read more
