More Fresh Brew Subs

friday.3.december.2010

Another substitute for fresh ground and brewed coffee taking up residence in my kitchen is the Coffee Singles pack.  The Singles packs include a “teabag-like” bag of coffee grounds which is attached to a tabbed thread.  The bags are brewed pretty much just like a teabag, with some additional dunking necessary.  We’ve had these little sachets around for quite some time now, as Mother-in-Law finds them to be a handy alternative when I’m not around to make a fresh brew.  Husband has been making good use out of the little coffee bags, as well (poor thing).  Both Folgers and Maxwell House produce these coffee-in-a-bag products.  The Folgers is the brand we use more often and, quite honestly, it tastes better.  The Folgers has a richer, fuller taste and produces a more all-encompassing aroma while brewing.  The Maxwell House, by comparison, is quite weak.  Both products require a tip of milk and/or sugar to enhance the flavour.  Don’t be too generous with the milk though, as it doesn’t take much to dilute the flavour of this coffee. Real coffee will be back in the kitchen soon... I hope!
