Why Fresh Roasted?

because any other coffee is stale coffee.

That's right, even that brand new pound you just brought home from the store. Truth be told, once coffee beans have been roasted, they quickly begin to lose their flavor. Fresh coffee is at its peak of flavor between 12hrs. to 5 days after roasting. After 2 weeks it will have noticeably lost flavor. By the time the coffee is roasted, packaged, shipped, delivered to the store, stocked on the shelf and you finally pick it up - it's already stale.

Pre-ground coffee is a bad idea. Coffee's worst enemy is air. Once ground, much more of the bean is exposed to air as compared to the whole bean. The finer the grind, the greater exposure to air. Ground coffee stales VERY quickly, so it's best to grind it right before you're ready to brew. Ground coffee will stay good for several hours if kept in an air tight container. We don't recommend buying pre-ground coffee from the store.

Don't know what I mean? You will once you have tried truly fresh roasted coffee!

Brewing Suggestions

The best way to brew fresh roasted coffee is with a french press. The french press method allows the coffee grounds enough time and exposure to the hot water to "bloom" and fully release their flavors. We recommend using a rounded tablespoon of coffee per 6oz. of boiling water, and brewing for 4 minutes. Pour the boiling water over the grounds and give it a good stir. Then put the lid on to keep in the heat. Adjust the amounts of coffee and water as desired for weaker or stronger coffee.

If you do not have a french press don't worry, your coffee will still taste great from a standard drip coffee pot!
