Premium Filter Coffee Sachets: A Business Without Machines or Pods
Travellers and office workers want great coffee anywhere โ a premium filter sachet delivers it without any equipment.
The business centres on producing or co-packing specialty filter coffee into single-serve sachets with a paper filter. The product is sold via an online shop, hotels, hostels, office spaces, or as a branded corporate gift. The key requirements are certified food-safe packaging compliant with UK and retained EU standards, eco-friendly materials, and a clear brand identity. Margins are achievable but โ after distribution and retail โ lower than for pod-based products. A new entrant must plan for certification costs, minimum order quantities from co-packers, and a significant lead time before the first revenue arrives.
Good coffee on the go still means either an overpriced latte from a chain or a disappointing instant sachet from a vending machine. Both options let the customer down โ one financially, the other in taste. The gap in the market exists, but filling it is not as straightforward as it looks.
๐The single-serve coffee market is growing steadily
The global single-serve coffee segment is expanding at over seven percent annually. Filter sachets represent the lightest and most affordable entry point into this category.
