What Are Coffee Drip Bags? A Complete Guide for NZ Coffee Lovers 2025

What are Coffee Drip Bags?
Drip bags are single-serve sachets filled with freshly roasted, ground specialty coffee. Each filter bag is sealed immediately after roasting to lock in flavours and aromas. To brew, you tear open the wrapper, hang the bag’s paper arms over your cup, and pour hot water through. It’s a simple way to enjoy café-quality coffee anywhere – perfect for travel, camping or the office.

How to Brew Coffee Drip Bags
1. Tear open the outer wrapper and remove the drip bag.
2. Pull apart the paper arms and hook them on to your favourite mug.
3. Slowly pour 200–250 ml of hot water (93 °C) over the coffee, letting it drip through in stages.
4. Once the water has run through, dispose of the bag in your compost or general waste.
5. Enjoy your fresh brew straight away – no clean-up required!
