Overview of Robert Timms Coffee Bags

 

What are coffee bags?

Coffee bags are pre-portioned, single serve pouches filled with ground coffee - much like a tea bag, but for coffee. They offer a simple, mess-free brewing method without needing a coffee machine, plunger, or special equipment. They are ideal for anyone who wants the flavour of real ground coffee with the convenience of instant. 

 

History of Robert Timms

In 1951 Robert Timms opened his first coffee roasting facility in Sydney. His approach was revolutionary; he sourced high-quality beans from around the world, roasted them locally, and delivered them fresh to cafes, restaurants and grocers.By the mid 1950's the Robert Timms brand was stocked in Woolworths, and other leading supermarkets, becoming a household name. 

In later decades, The House of Robert Timms pioneered the use of individually wrapped coffee bags - a product that made real ground coffee accessible to people without espresso machines or plungers. These coffee bags became especially popular in: 

  • hotel rooms
  • corporate offices
  • hospitality settings

The brand's coffee bags are often considered a premium alternative to instant coffee, and are still widely used in accommodation and commercial settings.

Brewing Recommendations

Experiment with Steeping Time - adjust the steeping duration to find your preferred strength. Three to four minutes in recommended.

Use Fresh Water - start with fresh, cold water in your jug, and pour it over the coffee bag when it is nearly boiling. 

Dunk the bag - dunking the coffee bag a couple of times will assist with infusion.
