Advantages of SammyBags Reusable Coffee Pouches:

  • Coffee pouches are to coffee beans what travel cups are to hot beverages. Designed to be loved and cared for over and over again.
  • They’re awesome for people who place a high value on zero waste and reusable options.
  • They’re convenient because they fold down flat when empty, which is perfect for slipping into your pocket, bag or for cyclists heading to the roastery.
  • They’re well made, durable and long lasting. We’re so confident we’ll replace any defective pouch in the case of fasteners or stitching failing.
  • They’re stylish and unique. The fabric will soften over time and age naturally, telling the story of your coffee journey.
  • Every time you use a coffee pouch to buy your coffee beans or grounds, you're saving the roastery money, saving single-use packaging and avoiding waste from going to landfill.
  • You’re supporting a small, local, independent business committed to creating products that help move habits towards environmentally friendly outcomes.

A word about fresh coffee and sustainability:
Coffee essentially begins to age from the date it’s roasted. From that moment on, the quality of the coffee that can be extracted from the bean increases over a few days, peaks and then exponentially decreases. During this time the factors that contribute to protecting your coffee beans are: keeping them in a cool; dry; dark; and sealed environment. However, no amount of coolness, dryness, darkness or airtightness will prevent the beans from ageing. Don’t believe us? Talk to any roaster and they’ll tell you, the way to improve the quality of the coffee you drink at home is to buy freshly roasted coffee in small amounts more often. The amount you’d estimate to consume within one or two weeks.

While SammyBags Coffee Pouches seal well, they aren’t airtight. All packaging has strengths and weaknesses. What might be airtight, isn’t necessarily sustainable and what might be sustainable may not be convenient and what might be convenient may not be biodegradable. Zero waste packaging is the future for a green earth, and sustainable packaging is part of that solution.

Ultimately, it’s about weighing up the factors concerning coffee packaging in a way you value. With this in mind, give some consideration to the advantages SammyBags Coffee Pouches offer, and what direction you’re heading in as a coffee consumer.

Versatile and washable

We have 4 of these bags in different sizes and amazed and how well they wash up. Great for that morning pastry or coffee bean run.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts, Rudy! We really appreciate it and are glad to hear your Sammy Bags are working out so well!
