For hotel rooms with only a kettle and mug, choose coffee bags or one-cup filters rather than loose ground coffee, which needs a suitable brewer; cafetière sachets suit rooms where a cafetière is provided. Out of Eden lists Taylors coffee bags in 80-packs, so three packs would provide 240 portions, while its Wheatleys coffee bags and cafetière sachets come in 300-count packs. If one case of exactly 240 portions is required, confirm that case size before ordering.
For rooms equipped with a kettle, mug and tea tray but no coffee brewer, individually wrapped coffee bags offer a way to make coffee with hot water. Out of Eden describes both Wheatleys and Taylors bags for this type of preparation.
Pre-portioned ground-coffee sachets are an option where guests have a cafetière, or where staff prepare coffee at breakfast. Out of Eden lists Wheatleys cafetière sachets for hotel rooms and breakfast service.
If 240 is an order quantity rather than a single-case requirement, three of the Taylors 80-packs listed by Out of Eden would provide that count. Confirm the pack size when ordering; three separate packs are not one 240-count case.
Start with the brewing equipment in each room, then compare portion counts and the steps guests will need to follow.
Choose when: Guests have a kettle and mug but no separate brewer.
Bear in mind: Out of Eden lists Wheatleys bulk bags in a 300-count pack, while its Taylors 80-packs would require a three-pack order to reach 240.
Choose when: Each relevant room or service area has a cafetière.
Bear in mind: Out of Eden lists the Wheatleys bulk option in a 300-count pack; the sachet alone does not make coffee in a mug.
Choose when: Staff can portion the coffee or rooms have a compatible brewer.
Bear in mind: A ground-coffee pack does not supply a fixed count of individually wrapped guest portions.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Room equipment | Check every intended room for a mug, hot-water source and any required cafetière or other brewer. Match ground coffee to the preparation method stated on its pack. | My rooms have only a kettle and mug, so guests need a format they can prepare without a cafetière or machine. |
| Portion count | Compare the stated number of bags, filters or sachets per pack. Out of Eden lists Taylors bags in 80-packs and Wheatleys bulk formats in 300-count packs; a weight in grams is not a stated guest-portion count. | I need to plan for 240 guest portions and must decide whether that means exactly one case or an order made up of several packs. |
| Guest preparation | Check the instructions for hot water and brewing. Rombouts says its one-cup filter must sit securely on the cup before water is added to the fill line. | Guests should be able to follow the preparation steps using the cups and equipment actually provided in their rooms. |
| Product information | Check the delivered label and current supplier information for ingredients and allergens, particularly if the supplied product changes. | I need the information accompanying guest-room refreshments to match the products placed on the tray. |
Loose ground coffee needs a compatible brewing method; a kettle and mug alone do not provide the cafetière or other brewer specified for the reviewed ground-coffee products.
Check the equipment in each room before choosing a format. For kettle-and-mug rooms, consider coffee bags or a one-cup filter that can sit securely on the supplied mug.
Providing cafetières also means cleaning and maintaining them between uses.
Out of Eden lists Wheatleys coffee bags and cafetière sachets in 300-count packs. That count exceeds a 240-portion plan and does not satisfy a requirement for one 240-count case.
Specify whether 240 means one case or the total order. If separate packs are acceptable, check the Taylors 80-pack option before ordering three packs.
A 300-count case leaves 60 portions beyond a 240-portion plan, affecting storage and stock rotation.
Product information can change, so an earlier listing may not describe the packs placed in guest rooms.
Check the delivered packaging and current supplier information, including ingredients and allergens, before stocking trays. The Food Standards Agency says retail and catering food businesses must provide allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink.
Out of Eden lists Wheatleys coffee bags for mug-and-hot-water preparation and pre-portioned sachets for cafetières.
Out of Eden lists individually wrapped Taylors Rich Italian coffee bags for preparation without a separate brewer.
Rombouts lists Original and Italian Style one-cup filters that are placed on a cup and prepared with hot water.
Lavazza describes its 250 g Espresso Italiano Classico ground coffee for moka, filter and French press preparation.
The illy UK range lists 250 g ground-coffee formats for espresso, moka pots and filters.
Tesco gives preparation instructions for its 227 g Peruvian roast-and-ground coffee using several types of brewer.
This coffee-bag option is relevant to rooms with a kettle and mug. Check the number of bags in each pack before planning an order of 240 portions.

The supplied preparation description calls for brewing a coffee bag in a mug with hot water, making this a format to consider for kettle-and-mug rooms. The listing is for three 75g packs; confirm the bag count per pack before using it to plan 240 portions.
Not with the preparation methods stated for the reviewed ground-coffee products: they call for equipment such as a cafetière, filter machine or moka pot. For a kettle-and-mug room, consider a coffee bag or a one-cup filter that fits the supplied cup.
Yes for the Wheatleys coffee bags described by Out of Eden: put a bag in a mug, add hot water, stir and brew. Check the instructions on whichever bag you supply to guests.
Check the delivered label and the supplier’s current allergen information rather than relying on an older web listing. The Food Standards Agency says retail and catering food businesses must provide allergen information and follow labelling rules for prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink.
The Food Standards Agency says a business starting or taking over a food operation must register with its local authority at least 28 days before trading or food operations begin. An existing operator should check its registration status with the relevant local authority.
