mtbcBack in the late nineties, in England I could buy coffee bags. They were packaged and used very similarly to tea bags: many in a box, same size, etc., just add to very hot water then wait awhile. Purists may turn their nose up at such but they were certainly a convenient improvement over instant coffee.
Coffee bags remain available but, oddly, they've grown. The boxes tend to hold fewer, larger bags, I suspect less cheaply too. In trying different brands, we found that the Percol Americano stocked by Tesco are among the best. Perhaps better is the Rich Italian from Taylors of Harrogate, we should try their other flavours, also compare the price with the Percol.
