Emirates Blend Medium/Dark Roasted Arabica Fresh Ground Coffee Bags (100 Bags) - 900 g by Real Coffee Bag Co.

I bought these coffee bags for hiking so I could have real coffee out in the wilds. Just add hot water, leave, and enjoy! However, out of the first ten bags I've used, five have split. This is very disappointing.The coffee itself tastes very good - dark and rich - just the way I like it, but the bags are very poor. I've checked them before using, carried them in a separate container to protect them, and still some burst.I get the bags need to be porous enough for the water to permeate the grounds, but they shouldn't spontanioulsy burst even when they aren't stirred. Surely they should be strong enough to survive having hot water poured over them? Otherwise, they aren't fit for purpose.I guess I'll go back to carrying filter papers and a coffee drip on my hiking trips :-(

Coffee was pretty nice for a coffee bag, but the bags just seemed to explode so often, which was really frustrating and meant I had to tip the cup away and start again as the cup was filled with loose grounds. Initially I thought I was being too aggressive with my squeezing technique, but then found that just pouring the water from the kettle on to some of them was enough to just destroy the bag! I wouldn't mind if it was the odd one, but one morning it happened THREE times in a row which you can imagine really really wound me up. I had to reboil the effing kettle. Just not worth the faff, have bought coffee bags lots of times and haven't had this issue with any other. I'd say out of every 10 coffees 3 or 4 bags pop, just so annoying.

don’t let the people saying the coffee bags split deter you from purchasing this coffee, I have had 20 now none have split they must be doing something wrong (I don’t know how you could possibly get it wrong) taste is 10/10 leave the bag in for a stronger coffee taste you can smell the coffee in my living room it’s so strong in a good way, delicious.I have returned to edit this review to let you all know I have almost finished the all 50, I now have 3 coffee bags left to drink and none have burst or split from the 47 I have drank so far, it’s safe to say the other reviewers had probably received a bad batch, or somehow they are doing it wrong.

I have had 6 coffee bags split and I haven't finished the packet yet. I check each bag before putting it in my cup. At the point where I am pouring the water onto the bag in my cup, 6 coffee bags have split. They have not split because I am being rough with them in the cup, they have split because the consistency and quality of the coffee bag is poor. So far I have lost over 10% of the product. It's annoying. I bought this product before as part of the process of finding a coffee bag I like. I have bought other brands and not had this problem. Won't be buying this product anymore. I will be sticking with the Moreish Organic Coffee brand. Not had a single bag split on over 200 coffee bags.The flavour on this coffee is ok but I'm not sure about the freshness of the coffee - out of the same packet, some bags leave an oilie residue on top of my coffee (fresh 👍) others do not (not fresh, stale 👎)

Great taste easy to makeI was a little worried about other reviews saying the bags spilt,im on bag 11 so far with no spilting! I can see why people say they are spilting them " they are makeing it worng!! "if you pour hot water from a great high on to the bag I will most like split like some tea bags . So my tip is pour the water down the side on the cup (not directly on to the coffee bag ) or put the bag in after the water and lightly push it down under the water with a spoonI will count if any of the 100 I ordered splits if so I will let you know

When you open the packet your met with a very lovely aromatic smell of coffee. When you leave the bag in the hot cup of water and add your milk the flavour is really nice and smooth. This is a medium coffee with no bitterness you might find with some coffee brands.I think this is very good value for money when you look at the price and how many bags you get.I would recommend this to anyone new to buying a nice cup of coffee using the bags.

After trying several other brands I tried these. I was really disappointed with the very weak taste and that was after letting them brew fir 5 minutes and stiring and gently squeezing the bags. They were well packaged. I kept them sealed and had several on the first day of opening them but they were tasteless from the start. They are fairly cheap but not if you need to use 2+ bags per cup of coffee.

These coffee bags were surprisingly good.They had a rich strong flavour, similar to bean to cup, with a nice caffeine hit! 😳I didn't suffer with the problem of the bags breaking, that other reviewers had complained about.I used these whilst camping, and I simply added the bag to the water after it had boiled, rather than pour the water onto the bag.I let it brew for a few minutes, and it was perfect, no problems.The only downside for me personally, is that the product is quite weighty, so not ideal for camping if you're hiking as well.But most people will not have this problem.Overall, good strong, quality coffee, I highly recommend!😊
