I want some 1/2 lb degassing valve coffee bags. Prefer clear. I give away coffee once in a rare occasion. I have printed, and colored, custom "Backwoods Roaster" labels. I just noticed I am out of 1/2 lb bags. I do not need a lot of them. Where do you get them? Sweet Marias has 1/4 lb clear degassing bags, but I have some. I rarely use these, too small. I can only get 185 grams in one. I would like to get as much as 250 grams. I saw some on Amazon, but have no experience with them. (Not Amazon, silly, the bags) https://smile.amazon.com/AwePackage-Clear-Zipper-Coffee-Degassing/dp/B0779KCRHN Ken in NC --------------

Hi Ken, long time no talk... The problem is that most places want you to buy a case of 500 or so. https://pbfy.com/...pe=product Happy mug had them in small quantities but it seems they no longer have the larger size, only the 1/4 pound and 2 oz size. These were nice foil bags with valves. You had to heat seal them with an iron. https://happymugc...ccessories Edited by JackH on 12/29/2018 3:50 PM ---Jack

Thank you. As rarely as I do use them, 80 cents each is not too bad. (Amazon link above) I do hope someone else has a solution. Ken --------------

Quote I didn't order clear bags, but placed an order for 16oz bags with one way valves and tin ties as that's how I package all of my roasted coffees. Then can use either a marker or label for identification. 100 bags with tax and shipping was about $58. Better than the $0.75 a bag I was used to paying elsewhere. |

I got some of these: https://prima-coffee.com/equipment/prima-coffee/valve-8n Very happy with them, and I have little labels I put on mine as well, which adds a nice touch... |

Ha. Home roasting only. How long for you to go through 500 1/2 lb bags. --------------

'8675309' I did an order from Prima. 10 bags for 5.00. Shipping a little over 7 dollars. 20 bags for 10.00. Shipping 7.70. 30 bags for 15.00. Shipping 8.80. I decided on 20 bags for 17.70. Under 90 cents a bag. These will last me quite a while. --------------

Quote A long time right now. For a couple years, I had about 20-25 people who I'd roast for once per month, so I moved through them pretty quickly then. |

I only order new ones when I roast around the Holidays for gift-giving... always take a few bags to my Dentist office ( they LOVE IT ) and friends at my old work place. It's bad luck to be superstitious

I am selective of those i give my roasted coffee to. They always want more, and are too spoiled to like commercial coffee again. :)
