Freshness
Ground coffee oxidises quickly. Outer envelopes with nitrogen flushing keep drip bags fresh; ask whether your configuration includes nitrogen.
Dose accuracy
Drip bags typically contain 8–12 g; pods 5–10 g. Volumetric dosing works well if grind size is consistent. Our 180C lists accuracy of about ±1% depending on product.
For roasteries
A drip bag machine lets a roastery sell single-serve specialty coffee without espresso machines. Start with one machine and hand-pack envelopes into boxes; add cartoning later. See the full coffee packaging machine guide or request a quote.
