Celegusto makes single-serve specialty coffee in two formats: pour-over drip bags and steep-in-cup brew bags, both made from 100% fully mature Arabica beans. No machine, grinder, or barista skills required — just hot water and a few minutes for a genuinely good cup at your desk or on a trip. This guide explains the difference between the two formats, how to make each, and which one suits your routine.
Drip bags vs brew bags: what's the difference?
Both are single-serve and use the same quality Arabica, but they brew differently and taste slightly different:
| Drip bag (Hug&Mug) | Brew bag | |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Hangs on the cup rim; you pour hot water through the grounds | Steeps in the cup like a tea bag |
| Body | Cleaner, brighter, more aromatic | Fuller, rounder, more forgiving |
| Effort | Pour slowly in stages | Dunk, wait, remove |
| Best for | Pour-over fans who like a fresh ritual | Maximum convenience and consistency |
Both come as a 10-pack of 10g single servings at $21.99.
How to make a drip bag
Tear open the Hug&Mug drip bag and hook it over the rim of your mug. Pour a little just-off-boil water to wet the grounds and let them bloom for about 30 seconds, then pour the rest slowly in two or three stages. The whole thing takes a couple of minutes and gives you a clean, aromatic cup.
How to make a brew bag
Drop a Celegusto brew bag into your cup, pour in hot water, and let it steep — longer for a stronger cup, shorter for a lighter one — then lift the bag out. It's the most foolproof way to brew specialty coffee without any gear.
What to pair it with
Specialty coffee loves a little something sweet alongside. Pair a morning cup with a light Taiwanese biscuit or wafer from the Ding-go snack aisle. For variety through the day, alternate it with a Wild Infusion mushroom coffee in the morning, then switch to a caffeine-light Tea For Us hojicha or de-tea roasted oolong in the afternoon so you're not over-caffeinated.
Which should I choose?
If you enjoy the ritual and want the brightest, most aromatic cup, go with the Hug&Mug drip bags. If you want the easiest possible good coffee — at the office, while traveling, or first thing before you're fully awake — the brew bags are the move. Many people keep both.
