Where can I buy paper/fabric for coffee bags?

Question

Hi, In Australia, we can by coffee bags (like tea bags only with ground coffee beans in them) but they are very expensive.

Does anyone know how or where I can get some sort of paper or fabric that is cheap that is what tea bags are made from?

It is very convenient to have coffee bags ads you get that great taste if a plunger or perculator are not available.

Thank you for any advice.

Answer 1

actually to build on what the first poster said...you could actually sew the bags from the filters..and tie them off on the top ..if you really want them...filters are not expensive at least not in the united states they arent..you can get like 200 for 2 bucks

Answer 2

I'm not sure if they sell them there in Australia, but we have coffee filters for the coffee makers. I think the filters would work since they are made to brew coffee with. But umm. I'm not sure how you would use the fabric/paper to make a bag without all the ground coffee beans sneaking out.
