Single-serve coffee market. Emerging in the 1970s, it aimed to provide consumers with a hassle-free way to enjoy fresh ground filter coffee without the mess of traditional brewing methods. The market steadily grew and introduced various innovations over the years, including coffee bags in the 1980s and 1990s.
In recent times, the coffee bag has made a remarkable comeback. Several household names have rebranded or launched their products in this category, responding to the evolving demands of coffee enthusiasts. These single-serve solutions are a game-changer for those seeking convenience without the need for costly grinding or brewing equipment.
Types of MSTPACK Single-Serve Coffee Bags
MSTPACK offers two main types of single-serve coffee bags to cater to a variety of preferences:
-
Coffee Bags: These are similar to tea bags, crafted from filter paper, food-grade plastic, or a blend of both. Just like making tea, these coffee bags are steeped in hot water and removed after a set time. All you need is a cup and a source of hot water to enjoy a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Moreover, MSTPACK's focus on sustainability means that coffee bags are often made from biodegradable materials, providing an eco-friendly option for companies entering the single-serve segment.
-
Pour Over Coffee Bags: A twist on the traditional coffee bag, pour-over coffee bags are designed for discerning consumers who prefer pour-over coffee without the hassle of grinding and measuring. These innovative bags originated in Japan in the early 1990s and have gained popularity with specialty coffee brands worldwide. Users simply unfold tabs on the bag and hang it over their cup for a pour-over coffee experience. MSTPACK's commitment to sustainability is evident in its efforts to create fully biodegradable and compostable pour-over coffee bags, providing a greener alternative to conventional aluminum and plastic coffee pods.
Single-Serve Specialty Coffee:
The rise of single-serve coffee has opened doors for specialty coffee makers to embrace this convenient trend. While traditional specialty coffee enthusiasts often grind and weigh their beans with precision, single-serve coffee provides an alternative and accessible route into the world of specialty coffee. It caters to consumers seeking instant, high-quality, and hassle-free coffee experiences.
Georgina Cowley emphasizes that single-serve options act as a "gateway" to coffee, representing a step up from instant coffee without the additional investment in brewing equipment or a grinder. These coffee bags and pods are often nitrogen flushed, extending their freshness compared to pre-ground coffee.
Environmental Responsibility: A Priority for MSTPACK
As the single-serve coffee market continues to grow, addressing environmental concerns is vital. The conventional coffee pods, typically made of plastic and aluminum, have raised recycling challenges. Jonathan Wadham highlights the significant environmental impact of single-serve filters, pods, and coffee bags, estimating that around 1,220 tonnes of waste enter landfills in the UK alone each year.
At MSTPACK, we recognize the importance of environmental responsibility. While manufacturing biodegradable coffee pods can be challenging due to pressure resistance requirements, we are dedicated to creating sustainable, plant-based coffee bags. Many of our coffee bags are crafted from compostable plant-based materials, with outer films designed for recyclability.
