As an intermediate step they could try ground coffee in coffee bags (which is what I drink a lot of the time); they're individually sealed to keep the aroma intact until use.
Of course, I'm not seriously suggesting these for commercial usage, though bags are often used for tea commercially, I observe. Also, individual coffee filters are not uncommon in second-grade catering establishments, as they look suitably pretentious in use.

DSL:
Re the comic: How loose is the definition "look like people"? Bilaterally symmetrical and bipedal? Pintsize has a head, torso and two arms and legs and acts and thinks like ... most humans, really. Winslow is an overgrown iPod with vestigial limbs and thinks and, well, ditto.
St.Clair:
I want to say, "she's human enough to blush" (at a certain implication).
But that's not quite right either, is it?
This whole non-human sapience thing is tricky.
brasca:
Getting a coat is one thing, but could Bubbles get durable pants even if she wanted?
BenRG:
It seems incredible to me that Bubbles could have known Faye for months and not figured out that she has these little quirky obsessions! Of course, I may be doing her an injustice. She may have guessed but hoped that she was wrong!
Faye is still trying to figure out a way to get Bubbles to loosen up and this does suggest that learning to live without her armour might have a psychological aspect that could aid to that end. It's a reasonable idea; unfortunately, it also makes her sound like she's clumsily flirting with Bubbles or is a psycho stalker!

Yes but she'd likely have to go to a specialist outsize clothier. She is a lot bigger than an average person so it's unlikely that she'd find off-the-shelf stuff in her size.
[EDIT]
P.S.:
I've just noticed Bubbles's blush in panel 4. She doesn't look angry at that point; to me, she's reacting to flirting and not in a negative way. Faye owes it to her to make her intentions plain (assuming that she is entirely sure of them herself).
