When choosing a manufacturer for coffee bags, look for one that offers design proofs. This way, you can be sure that your bags will come out perfectly. Also, make sure that the proofs are carefully reviewed by multiple people.
Slick design may win you customers at first, but it’s not a moat to build your business on. Instead, emphasize your brand’s mission, narrative, and values.
Raw Bean Bean Bags x 10 bags
If you’re a coffee lover, you might want to look for paper coffee bags that don’t come in plastic-lined paper (which ends up in landfill). Those are more likely to be recycled.

They come in a handy, resealable pouch and are perfect for use on the go: bring them with you to a remote Airbnb or cottage; your campervan, boat, caravan or work van; or on a hiking trip or road trip.

Paddy & Scott’s Brew Bags x 31 bags
These are a really great option for everyday filter coffee. They are a small coffee company that work with frontline charities and offer subscription options. Their coffee is fair trade and they use 100% compostable brew bags, which are also letterbox friendly.
Their range of coffees are a little bit different to the others on this list, they offer dark roast and light roast as well as decaf. We found the taste to be quite good, but not as nuanced as some of the other coffees on this list and a little on the weak side.
They are very easy to use, you simply place one in your mug and fill it with boiling water and leave for a few minutes. Then you can remove the bag and enjoy your cup of coffee.
They are an excellent choice for a quick cup of coffee and there is a decaf option available too. These are ideal if you are going away and want to take a few bags with you. The bags are made with bioweb and contain 10g of oven roasted ground coffee.

They have four options sourced from different continents and roast profiles ranging from light to dark. These are ideal for people who prefer a more natural, less acidic coffee. The coffee is also Fairtrade and organic so it’s better for the environment and farmers. The only negative is that the coffee can lose its taste over time, so it’s important to use the bag within a few months or so.

You can choose from dark roast, medium roast or light roast options, depending on how strong you like your coffee. There’s even a decaf option if you want a quick cuppa in the evening. It’s worth noting that the bags aren’t individually wrapped, so you’ll have to reseal the pouch after every use.
