Sainsburys coffee bag




Should be a premium product that just works. Isn't.

I had bought these and my girlfriend thinking they were regular coffee bags simply put the sachet in the cup poured on the water, waited a few mins and gave me the coffee explaining that she did not really get the instructions but here you are anyway.

The coffee was great. BUT

I then thought that I would have a second cup and follow the instructions myself.

Firstly you tear off the top of the bag exposing loose coffee granules to the world.

Some escape and go on the floor and on your feet.

Then you do some card folding with the card contraption that is attached to a perfectly good coffee bag that now has a hole in the top.

You then attach this to you favorite mug, but this might not be the right size so you then have to look for one that is.

You then pour your hot water on the funnel contraption you have just made and the water runs through the coffee grounds producing a barely coloured, weak coffee water in you cup.

The weak solution that is supposed to be coffee is a complete waste of time and so you have to unattached the cardboard contraption from the side of the mug and dunk it in the water until you get something that might have some flavour.

Problems
1. Far to complicated first thing in the morning. Who can do origami and not get coffee down themselves when half asleep?
2. The perforations in the bag/filter are too big so that the water runs through the coffee too quickly and so does not pick up any flavour.
3. Using it like a regular bag and just submerging the whole thing just like a coffee or tea bag produces the best coffee.
