Reddit reviews Folgers Classic Medium Roast Coffee Singles Serve Bags, 19 Count (Pack of 6)

Are coffee tea-bags not popular for some reason? They are my go-to for camping.

Both Folgers and Maxwell House make coffee bags that are just like tea bags, except that they need to steep a little longer.

Folgers as well as maxwell house actually sell this item. I get them at the grocery store for about. $5 a box. Not a bad price for 19 cups! They come out quite good and super quick and easy! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001FA1KJO?pc_redir=1409968993&robot_redir=1

It doesn't sound dumb because it has been done already by huge companies here and here.

High quality coffee is usually ground right before it is used as coffee becomes stale quickly. Some people say after 15 mins after being ground it starts to degrade. I can personal say that I don't like grinding my coffee the night before I use it. So any form of distribution network for pre-ground coffee won't be high quality.

Also things like the flavoring is going to be what will be different about your product but that as well is a market that bigger players are already in. Coffee mate(owned by nestle) is every where in grocery stores and comes in 20+ flavours already and coming in both liquid and powder form. It also doubles as creamer. Which is a bonus as most people buying your product probably won't like the biter taste. Your examples of flavours pumpkin spice, French vanilla, they don't have a Amaretto flavour but they do have Hazelnut. You get the point it is going to be a uphill battle to compete on flavours.

Another thing quality coffee is not artificially flavoured but rather it has to do with the bean itself. Coffee doesn't taste like pumpkin spice normally.

The business idea had a good start you saw a need and you tried to fill it. Next time think about barrier to entry to the business and do some research on players already in the field.

As for your brother get him a french press and a blade grinder plus a kettle. If he can buy freshly roasted coffee it will be the easiest and best cup of coffee he has ever had. I used a coffee machine and pre-ground coffee in first year in my dorm and it was great.

It's available. Folgers, for instance, sells them in the US.
