Lyons Coffee Bags
What they say:
Lyons have used their coffee expertise to create these superb one cup coffee bags. Like tea bags but with the Lyons fresh coffee taste... just pop one in a mug or cup and pour on freshly boiled water, leave for 3 minutes and then enjoy the great taste of Lyons coffee. Wrapped in individual foil packs for freshness, each bag contains enough fresh coffee to make one cup. Brilliant for busy people...use them at work, on holiday, on picnics, when there's just you and you don't want to get the coffee maker out.
What we say:
Here at mmb we are happy to admit that we are notoriously bad at making coffee! Well no longer- on the discovery of these cracking coffee bags. We've tried them on ourselves as on a number of hardened coffee drinkers with a thumbs up all around. Quick and easy, now everyone can make a decent cup of coffee.

Blue Moon
What they say:
The Blue Moon Brewing Company was born in 1955 in Denver, Colorado when subtle twists were added to old-world, handcrafted brewing traditions. The beer has gentle zesty orange flavours, which make it a great partner for foods like grilled prawns, lemon chicken, dressed crab and meaty, white fish. It is brewed with oats for creaminess and spiced with the perfect combination of orange peel and coriander.
What we say:
A refreshing creamy beer with notes of fruit- great for relaxing with after a hard day at work- serve chilled with a slice or wedge of orange, sit back relax and enjoy. The flavour gives Blue Moon a broad market and this will appeal to the masses- something that both Mr and Mrs Bloggs were able to enjoy.
Price: £1.99 (355ml bottle)
Available from: Sainsbury’s stores across the country

Hoppers Soft Brew
What they say:
When it came to Hoppers we really rolled out the barrel. We made a soft drink mature enough to live in the pub. A soft drink with attitude. A drink with a sharp taste, topped off by a foaming head. And, to spread the hoppiness, we made three distinct flavours. All with the long refreshing tang of fruit, complemented by the earthy notes of hops, malt, wheat and barley.
What we say:
We found soft brew an intriguing proposition and one that seems to be becoming attractive to a wide audience. A fruit-based alternative to the hard stuff available at an increasing number of bars and pubs across london as well as online direct from the jiuce brewery - tastes great, looks good- we like this grown up juice.
