Road Runner Posted December 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2013 When I bought coffee last night, I accidentally bought whole bean. Now I am going to have to dig out my grinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted December 25, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 25, 2013 I have coffee. It's already ground. It's in the kitchen and it needs to be made. I need my socks, because the floor is cold. Staying here for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtermite Posted December 25, 2013 Share #6 Posted December 25, 2013 Buying coffee as 'whole beans' should NEVER be an "accident" and the grinder should ALWAYS be out and ready to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted December 25, 2013 Buying coffee as 'whole beans' should NEVER be an "accident" and the grinder should ALWAYS be out and ready to use. Is it okay to grind, say half of a bag, and then store the unused for later or must one grind only what one will use for that day? How long before the newly ground beans become old ground coffee? Should it be kept in the refrigerator? Siriusly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, don't keep in fridge of freezer (unless you let it come back to room temp before you use). It freezes the oils in the bean and can mess with the flavor. Most of the flavor comes from the oils in the bean. As for how much to grind...grind only for the amount you are about to make just before you use it. Rule of 15s. Roast coffee within 15 months of beans being picked from tree. Use coffee within 15 days of being roasted. Grind coffee within 15 minutes of brewing.

Road Runner Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted December 26, 2013 Thanks, KT. I will try to follow your directions, but I am very lazy and I can't really make any promises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Silly Posted December 26, 2013 Share #11 Posted December 26, 2013 Even if you could get whole bean Sanka I doubt anyone's grinder could properly make the flavor crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
