Why we only sell whole bean coffee.
It’s not that we don’t want to grind coffee; we want you to have the best coffee experience possible. The best way to achieve that is by shipping you whole bean coffee.
After roasting, the coffee bean begins to slowly release CO2, a process known as degassing. This process prevents oxygen from entering the bean and breaking down those wonderful flavor compounds. However, when the coffee is ground, it releases all the CO2 at once, and suddenly there is no protection from the flavor-zapping oxygen. Coffee goes stale quickly. Coffee that is ground just before brewing is more flavorful, fragrant, and fresher tasting than pre-ground coffee. Whole bean coffee can remain fresh for weeks instead of days like ground coffee. You can grind it according to your preferred brewing method.
