Single serve coffee that comes in something like a tea bag?
The missus makes her coffee in a coffee press. She wants to keep doing that in our rural property, but due to the septic tank, it's a pain to rinse the grounds out of the press between cups.
Is there a good coffee that comes in anything like a tea bag that could be used in a press? I feel like I've seen round tea bag single serve coffee, but I don't drink coffee, so I can't remember and don't know if it's any good or not.

Eight O'clock brand used to market "coffee bags" but that may have lost out to K cups.

She's going to compromise on quality most likely. How coffee militant is she?
Maybe look at another design thats easier to clean. I use an aero-press when camping. You get a puck at the end with minimal cleanup.

Starbucks via is what we do. That being said, we’ve been using normal coffee in a coffee maker since Covid has had me working from home and just washing the grounds down the sink... never thought of it being an issue until right now...

Try a nespresso. Technically it’s expresso, but you get a great cup of coffee with ease.

Traditional espresso machine if she drinks that.
Nice little puck. Minor clean up. Impress your friends. |

Saw this very thing at the grocery store this weekend when I was picking up coffee. The coffee was in individual bags like tea. I don't recall the brand, but remember seeing it as it was the first time.

This plus an appropriate size scoop might work.

Ese pods were a precursor to the k-cups. They are filter pods and use an Espresso machine.
Personally, I'd go k-cup for your needs, or super-automatic Espresso machine. Nespresso pods are an alternative to k-cup and closer to Espresso

Yep, that's what we've done in the past when we had a house, sprinkled them around the roses. That's what I did when we were there this past weekend. But it's going to be a pain in the rear to run out to the fig tree or roses every time she has a cup of coffee (she [I] make coffee a cup at a time).

If you already have access to a Keurig, get her to try Lavazza "Gran Selezione" or something like that. It will end the search right there.
I know it's not answering your question, but it's so good why deal with a messy coffee pot? |

This still requires a disposable pod?

This link is to a clever coffer dripper. Been using this system for years. Basically an immersion system, like a french press, but utilizes a paper filter. Great cup of coffee with similar flavor profile as the french press. Check it out!
