Whole beans offer control
Grinding close to brewing lets you match particle size to the method and reduces the time ground coffee is exposed to air.
Ground coffee is convenient
Pre-ground coffee removes equipment and cleanup, but the selected grind must suit the brewer. Buy quantities that can be used while flavour remains acceptable.
Storage still matters
Keep coffee sealed, dry and away from heat and direct light. Large packs only save money when they can be used before quality declines.
Practical checklist
- Check that the grind suits the brewer.
- Compare bags by weight after calculating monthly use.
