What should you check before ordering?
Settle the required bag shape first, then plan the serving method, decaf choice and number of portions. A cup-top filter changes how guests prepare their drinks, even though it also uses ground coffee without a machine.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
| Bag format |
Check whether the exact product is described as pyramid-shaped, a conventional coffee bag or a cup-top filter. Raw Bean describes its Bean Bags as pyramid-shaped; Rombouts uses a filter that rests on a cup. |
I need the portion to match the meeting brief, not merely to contain ground coffee. |
| Preparation |
Check the instructions and equipment for the exact product. Taylors specifies a four-minute brew for Flying Start; Percol Colombian bags specify three to four minutes. Tesco’s Rombouts instructions call for hot, not boiling, water poured into the filter on a suitable cup. |
If guests are serving themselves between agenda items, I need a method they can follow at the drinks table. |
| Decaf choice |
Confirm a separately identified decaf product in the required format. Raw Bean describes a pyramid-shaped decaf Bean Bag; Taylors offers Decaffé as a conventional coffee bag. |
Some attendees may want decaf without needing a different machine or a separate preparation area. |
| Portions and wrapping |
Check servings per pack and whether the exact format has individual envelopes. Taylors Out of Home describes individually wrapped bags, whereas Percol says its 20-bag format has no individual envelopes. |
For portions laid out before guests arrive, I want to know which packs provide separately wrapped servings and how many packs to order. |
| Clearing up |
Read the chosen pack’s disposal instructions and check the workplace’s waste arrangements. Do not assume that instructions for one bag or filter apply to another. |
I need a clear place for used bags or filters so the drinks table can be cleared after the meeting. |

Questions about serving coffee at meetings
What should I buy if the brief says “pyramid coffee bags”?
Choose a product explicitly described as pyramid-shaped. Raw Bean describes its Deliciously Dark and Definitely Decaffeinated Bean Bags that way. Do not assume a conventional coffee bag or a cup-top filter has the same construction.
How much brewing time should I allow at the drinks table?
Use the timing on the chosen product: Taylors specifies four minutes for Flying Start, and the Percol Colombian bag instructions specify three to four minutes. Put the instructions beside the hot water so guests know when to remove their bags.
Can I offer decaf without changing the serving method?
Yes, if you choose a decaf bag alongside regular bags for the same kettle-and-mug setup. Raw Bean describes a pyramid-shaped Definitely Decaffeinated Bean Bag, while Taylors offers Decaffé as a conventional coffee bag; check the exact packs needed for the guest count.
Is a Rombouts One Cup Filter a coffee bag?
No. It is a filter that sits on a suitable cup while water passes through it, rather than a bag steeped in the mug. Tesco’s instructions for the Original One Cup Filter specify hot, not boiling, water added to the line on the filter.
