They are available in packs of 5, 15, or 20 pieces, so everyone can find their optimal format for each individual case. And today we are telling you how drips came about and why they are convenient?
What are drip coffee bags?
This is a new convenient way of brewing coffee that allows you to enjoy the quality of freshly ground coffee without a complicated preparation process. Drips are special single-use filter bags filled with ground coffee. They have a specific design and stay on the cup thanks to paper "wings." To brew a portion of the drink, you need to take the filter out of the package, secure it on the cup, and slowly pour hot water (90–95°C) inside in several stages, so the total volume of liquid is 150–200 ml. Or you can adjust according to your own preferences regarding strength.
The advantages of this method are obvious:
- you can get by with just a cup and boiling water, without special equipment or procedures;
- minimal hassle — optimal portion of ground beans, no mess or spilled coffee;
- compactness — the bags fit even in a small pouch, making them ideal for travel, the office, or home.
History of origin: Japanese roots
Drip coffee bags were invented in Japan back in the 1950s. Perhaps this is not by chance, as the Japanese are renowned worldwide for their commitment to convenient and quality solutions in organizing everyday life and space. They have made numerous inventions in the field of brewing coffee and tea. Therefore, it is not surprising that drips appeared here as an alternative to expensive devices and complicated brewing methods.
The first patent for coffee filter bags was registered by the Japanese company Ueshima Coffee Co in 1959. They gradually popularized the format and made it accessible for mass use. Today, drip coffee is a common part of producers' offerings that already has its fans. Coffee travels with them to work, on trains and planes, goes on tourist routes, and finds use anywhere a delicious drink is desired with minimal preparation conditions.
What's inside?
Drip coffee bags are made from food-grade materials that do not affect the taste of the drink and are completely safe. The most commonly used materials are:
- filter paper — a porous material similar to tea bags that allows water to pass through while retaining coffee grounds;
- non-woven materials based on nylon or polyester to improve strength and filtration performance;
- cardboard or plastic holders that attach to the cup.
Inside the filter, a dose of freshly ground coffee is poured and immediately sealed in an airtight bag with a foil layer to preserve freshness and aroma.
