Specialty Coffee Drip Bags: Mexico Maricela

We're coffee nerds. Most of the time, our coffee routine includes whole beans, a grinder, a gooseneck kettle and a scale. But we also love to travel – and all that equipment takes up a lot of space on the road, and bad coffee is everywhere.

Drip bags turned out to be the practical answer. We'd been picking them up on our travels for years – for hotel rooms, hiking trips, long bike rides, flights. At some point it became obvious we wanted to make our own – ones that actually live up to our standards.

So we did. Each bag contains Mexico Maricela – a single-origin, light roasted coffee from a producer we know and have visited in person.

We hope you'll enjoy them as much as we do.

    Where drip bags make sense

    • Travel

      Hotel rooms, long-haul flights, Airbnbs with bad coffee. A drip bag fits in any bag and needs nothing but hot water.

    • Outdoors

      Hiking, camping, mountain huts, bike tours, dog walks. Lightweight, no fragile equipment, easy clean-up.

    • Gifting

      Birthdays, host gifts, stocking stuffers. A box of drip bags is a good call for the coffee lover in your life.

    • Office

      Only mediocre coffee at your office? Keep a few bags in your desk drawer for the days when only a good coffee will do.

    What are drip bags?

    A drip bag is a single-use coffee filter pre-filled with ground specialty coffee. You hang it over your cup, pour hot water over it, and it brews directly into your cup – like a pour-over, but without any equipment. No gooseneck kettle necessary, no paper filter or scale to bring with you, no clean-up. Your perfect hand brew on the go is ready in about 3 minutes!

    The coffee is ground specifically for drip bag brewing – the grind size was tested by our roasters to make sure the extraction is right every time. The filter is sized so that filling it up to the top three times gives you the perfect cup, no scale or measuring needed. 

    How to brew

    • Tear open the sachet at the notch, remove the drip bag and tear off the top of the filter along the marked line.
    • Extend the hangers and place the bag over your cup. 
    • Fill the filter halfway and wait 30 seconds – this lets the coffee bloom. Use water just off the boil if you can.
    • Top up the filter three more times, letting the water draw down between each pour until the coffee bed is nearly dry.
    • Once the water has fully drained through, lift the bag from the cup and discard.
    • Enjoy.

    Tips: Give the bag a gentle shake before brewing so the grounds settle evenly. Make sure the bag stays above the water level in your cup as you go.

    The coffee inside: Mexico Maricela

    Sweet like candy, full of ripe fruit – mango, wild strawberries, grapes – with a clean, juicy finish. A light-roasted natural from the Sierra Mazateca in Oaxaca, Mexico. This specialty coffee goes through an extended fermentation before being dried for up to 45 days. Each bag contains 12g, ground and tested by our roasters for a perfect cup every time.

    Maricela Esperón grows her coffee on El Sótano, a farm she manages with her family in northern Oaxaca, where coffee grows alongside oak, cedar and mandarin trees. We visited the farm in late 2022 – read more about it on the blog.

    Maricela's coffee is roasted at our roastery in Bern. We specialise in single-origin specialty coffee, roasted light to highlight the aromas specific to each origin and variety. We source directly from producers, pay above fair trade prices and visit farms where we can.

    FAQ

    Are drip bags sustainable?

    Single-use packaging is always a trade-off, and we want to be honest about that. Our drip bags are designed for situations where brewing equipment genuinely isn't an option – travel, hotel rooms, the outdoors. For everyday home brewing, we'd always recommend whole-bean coffee and a reusable method. That said, the nitrogen-flushed packaging extends shelf life to 12 months, which reduces waste. And when you're done: please recycle as much as you can – more on that in the next question.

    Can I recycle the drip bags?

    The filter is industrially compostable and the sachet is recyclable in plastics.

    What does nitrogen flushing do?

    Coffee starts to lose its freshness as soon as it's exposed to oxygen. Nitrogen flushing replaces the air inside the packaging with nitrogen, which is inert and keeps the coffee fresh for much longer – without any artificial preservatives.

    How long do they last?

    12 months from the roast date, thanks to nitrogen-flushed packaging.

    What equipment do I need?

    A cup and hot water. We recommend using a tall cup, glass server or travel mug – you want the bag to hang above the water level as it brews. That's all.

    How much coffee does one drip bag yield?

    One bag contains 12g of coffee and brews roughly 150–200ml – a standard cup. The filter is sized so that filling it to the top gives you the right amount, no measuring needed.

    How many bags are in one box?

    One box contains 8 bags.

    Do you offer different coffees?

    Right now the drip bags are available with Maricela only. We're working on expanding the range – stay tuned.
