Look for The Little Coffee Bag Co. on AmazonFull story →Carrie Bate pitched single-serve ground coffee steeped straight in a bag, no machine or filter required, just hot water.
The short answer is yes, on the evidence available, more than a decade after the original pitch.
The Ask
Bate wanted £100,000 for a 33 percent stake, and the record shows Peter Jones and Deborah Meaden backing the pitch together.
Most single-serve coffee growth in the UK has favoured machines that lock a buyer into owning specific hardware, while a bag you simply steep in hot water sidesteps that question, making it an easy gift or travel purchase instead.
Sticking With What Worked

Rather than chasing every adjacent product category, the brand appears to have leaned on that original recipe and let the simplicity of the format carry the business, a strategy that looks to have paid off given how little the core offer has changed.
