Freshly packed and convenient coffee brew bags
Simply put a coffee bag in a mug, add freshly boiled water, then brew for at least 3 minutes, and your freshly brewed coffee is ready.

The outer packet and label are also a single PE material. The pack is 100% recyclable.
Coffee Beans
Brown Bear’s freshly roasted coffee beans are packed and heat-sealed into our coffee bags to keep the beany goodness and flavour inside. Ensure you have a quality grinder to get the most out of our coffee.
Check out our coffee guide under About Us for some great how to guides.
Cafetière & Filter
Our fresh, pre-ground coffee is a simple, convenient option if you don’t have a home grinder. The coffee grind coarseness (our Omni grind) is perfect for cafetières (French press), and drip filters and can also be used in the Aeropress, Moka pots and coffee percolators. We’d always recommend whole beans for absolute freshness but if you do opt for pre-ground, it’s always best to keep them in an airtight container, away from light and use them as quickly as possible.
Coffee Bags - Strong Dark Roast Mambo Italiano - Strength 5
Lovely, smooth flavour: sweet vanilla and smooth chocolate over the bitterness you'd expect from a good cup of Italian coffee. Also has sufficient heft to open my eyes in the morning!
It’s better than Tim Hortons. Mambo Italiano has a fantastic roast flavour. It’s just like having percolated coffee without the wait. I do think the company should move to the Midlands, it would be easier for me to get my paws on them bags. Grrr!
My two favourite places in the world to drink coffee - Italy & the Scottish Hebrides. I love these particular coffee bags so much that I have them sent to me regularly up on the Isle of Jura.
Mambo Hebrideano!
I love this coffee. Firstly, it`s less faff than using my cafetierre every morning and secondly the taste is great. I just put a spot of milk in...and yum. This is my third bag now so I should probably subscribe haha. Just waiting on the Brown Bear mug to become available now...hint hint.
Great tasting coffee. You obviously don’t get the silkyness you get from a machine, but the flavour is there and far superior to instant, and zero mess to clean up
I’ve ordered the ‘red’ instead of the ‘blue’ bag this month, and am really enjoying the extra power! And the pianist in my piano trio is delighted as she needs a stronger hit when she arrives for a full-on three hour rehearsal!
I bought these bags for convenience , and although I generally drink freshly ground coffee, I have used bags as an alternative. Unfortunately, none of us liked them, and I wouldn't purchase again

Hi Ros, thank you for your review, I am sorry that you didn't enjoy this coffee. We wouldn't want you to write off Brown Bear completely, is there any other coffees that you'd be interested in? Get in touch and we can look at what we can do. Best!

We enjoy strong flavorful coffee with a kick and your products fill the bill perfectly! So glad we found you!
You kindly offered to resend my order when I explained that Elvi had failed to deliver and had not sent any tracking updates.
I will be delighted to give you my opinion on the coffee when I have a chance to try some when your delivery arrives.
Thanks

If you enjoy a rich flavoursome coffee, this is the coffee for you ! It’s a, any time, any place, any where coffee indulgence. I’m looking forward to exploring other flavours in the BB product range. Without doubt, Brown Bear is my new favourite coffee. T & C
Easy to order online. Nice, strong and flavourful coffee bags. 5% of sales revenue also goes to free the bears uk charity, so this is a great incentive to buy again.
I do not drink coffee.
My wife does, and she loves Brown Bear coffee bags. So we have a subscription.
She recommends it to all her friends. And gives them bags to sample. Making me buy more.
Thanks Brown Bear.
I love the Mambo Italiano Coffee Coffee Bags. They are a bit stronger than the one's I used to get and make a really nice coffee (not too strong and quite quickly).
Lovely robust flavoured coffee. Would love to know what the actual material on the individual coffee bags is made from ? I do hope it does not contain a plastic.
