There is nothing like a cup of stale coffee to ruin your day; not only does it taste bad, it can cause all sorts of adverse physical reactions. I once had to drink stale coffee out of British politeness when overseas, and I had such awful palpitations afterwards I really did think I was about to collapse… Even vacuum-packed, refrigerated coffee goes stale within two weeks, which often results in unnecessary wastage and can often reduce people to buying jars of freeze-dried granules instead.

Lyons has now come up with an innovative concept to over-come this issue, which is so simple it begs the question, why didn’t anyone think of it sooner? Instead of buying fresh coffee in big vacuum packed pouches, they are now introducing packs where the coffee is sealed in small, foil wrapped portions. Each sachet contains 22g of fresh coffee grouts, just enough to fill a four-cup cafetière, ideal for hosting a small group, or to get yourself through a long, bleary day at work.

Not only are these sachets convenient, they’re also really portable. I keep a couple in my handbag so I always have access to good quality coffee at work. They’re small, light, and sturdy, so you won’t have to worry about the sachet splitting in transit. Because the sachets are individual portions, you don’t even have to fret about measuring out the right amount per person to get the taste just right; all the hard work is already done for you. The coffee itself is nutty and rich, yet suitable for everyday drinking, and because its really fresh it gives you a nice, clean perk without leaving you feeling groggy or tremulous afterwards.

Lyons have applied over 100 years of expertise to their beverage making, creating tasty yet affordable coffee blends that support their coffee growers rather than exploit them. Lyons was the first UK coffee company to purchase from producers certified by the Rainforest Alliance, so not only are you getting the freshest coffee hassle free, you’re also supporting sustainable and responsible farming whilst helping to protect the delicate ecosystems on our planet.
