Advantages: easy to use

Disadvantages: not as good as filter or cafetiere

I recently received a free sample to try of the fresh ground coffee in one cup bags.
It is a convenient way of making a cup or mug of fresh ground coffee.
They are made in the same way as you would make a cup of tea via the bag in a cup method.

The instructions that are provided on the pack are that you place the bag in the mug.
Pour on freshly boiled water and leave for 3 to 5 minutes.
Adjust this time according to taste. Remove the bag and serve.
You can serve with or without milk, with or without sugar.

The bag itself is about twice the size of a tea bag and is round in shape. It contains 7g of ground coffee. The coffee used is a blend of both arabica and robusta beans. It is contained in individual foil bags to seal in the freshness.
They made an adequate tasting coffe and as is important these days they are rainforest alliance certified. They are easier than getting the coffee machine out and also allow you to take them to work or holiday as the pack is small enough to slip in your pocket.

I would use them again but given the preference i would get the coffee machine out. They are available in both regular and decaffinated varieties.
Available in all major supermarkets foe £1.53 for 18 for regular and £1.99 for 18 decaffineated this is 125g packs. Shop around for the best prices.

Summary: Easy to use and quick
