It’s been a while and some of you are new here, so I thought I would revisit why we don't sell ground coffee, even though it's easy and convenient.
The practical reason is that we don’t have the capacity to pre-grind your beans. While we do offer K-cups with ground coffee we do not have the equipment or the space to grind coffee on a large scale.
The other more philosophical reason is that pre-ground coffee is just sad. Without going into a bunch of nerdy coffee stuff, the coffee bean is a tiny magical pebble holding in a boatload of oils and flavors. When you grind the coffee, it smashes that tiny capsule and releases those delicious flavors and oils. Which is why fresh ground coffee smells so AMAZING! But they quickly start to break down, and the oxygen does all kinds of weird things to the coffee actually changing the taste. If you really want to learn more about it, check out this helpful article fromCoffee Confidential. Our whole business model is providing fresh roasted coffee to you to enjoy at peak freshness. If we ground the coffee you love and then delivered it to you, it would not be the same coffee you love. It would be like taking a delicious loaf of homemade bread slicing it up and leaving it on the counter for a month. Then wondering why your toast tastes terrible.
If you think this is all snobby pretentious coffee drinker nonsense, you’re probably right, and you can just go back to reason number one why we don’t grind coffee. If we’ve convinced you that the pre-ground coffee you’ve been drinking has been depriving you of all the deliciousness it truly has to offer, you can check out thelist of coffee grindersranging from “I just want some dang coffee” to “extreme hipster coffee snobbery.” And as always, you shouldbuy our coffee.It’s good. We like it. It’s fresh and it has a beard.
Decisions are Hard
