Freshly Ground Coffee

We advise freshly grinding coffee beans for the best tasting results.  When beans are ground it exposes more of the coffee to the air, which means it will stale more quickly than a whole bean.  However, we understand some customers prefer the convenience of pre-ground coffee to save time, reduce clearing-up, or because they have limited space in their kitchen for yet another device. If you prefer the convenience of pre-ground coffee, we recommend you buy small quantities (250g) to last less than a week, then top up regularly. Buying a little often will help ensure your pre-ground coffee is fresh when brewed. 

Our pre-ground coffee is available with 2 types of grind fineness: cafetiere and espresso. The finer the beans are ground, the more surface area is exposed and the faster the coffee could be brewed because the water has more access to it. This is important when considering how finely the coffee should be ground for different brew methods. The general ru+le of thumb for selecting grind finesses is the longer the brew time of your devise, the larger the particles should be.
