How Fresh is Grocery Store Coffee?

Thousands of Americans purchase coffee in the grocery store, but you may want to think twice about your investment in your brew.

First of all, after coffee is roasted, it will sit in a warehouse for two weeks at a time. From that point, it will be loaded onto a truck and moved to different distribution centers where it can sit for up to a week. If the grocery store chain decides that they want the coffee product, then it will be moved to another distribution center until the store is ready for it. After it is finally shelved, it can sit on the shelf for months at a time until it is purchased!

More popular coffee products will be purchased more quickly, but lesser known brands can sit on the shelves of the grocery store for months at a time. The bottom line is that if you want the freshest Java possible, then you need to buy freshly roasted coffee beans that are whole. Look for a company (like mine!) that will ship the coffee beans to you the day that they are roasted for premium freshness in your brew!

Why Grind Your Coffee Beans?

If you are one of the many coffee drinkers in America that feels that grinding your coffee beans before you brew is a hassle, then it is important for you to know the advantages in freshly grinding your beans every time!

The truth of the matter is that coffee beans begin to grow stale 30 seconds after brewing, so if you are purchasing pre-ground beans from a grocery store shelf, then they are beyond stale. This estimate can be doubled for pre-ground decaf coffee in a grocery store because it is often less purchased, so it could have been sitting there for more than six months!

If you want fresh and intense flavors in your brew, then it is best to grind directly before brewing. This also allows you to tweak and adjust the grind consistency based on your brew method to have more control over the flavor and taste. What more can you ask for?

Are You Brewing The Best Coffee At Home?

There are so many different brew methods that you can use to prepare your Java at home, and there are certain things to take into consideration.

Whether you are using a Stovetop Espresso Maker, a traditional drip brew coffee maker, a French Press, or even a percolator, it is still important to use fresh and clean filtered water. This means that if you are brewing with a French Press, it is not advised to use water that may have been sitting out in a kettle overnight. Use fresh filtered water, and make sure that it cools below the boiling point before you mix it with the coffee grounds, otherwise, it could burn them and cause the coffee to taste bitter.

Last of all, make sure that everything that you are using is fresh! It is important to order freshly roasted coffee beans from a company that will ship them the day they are roasted (like my website!), and then grind them freshly before you brew. It truly makes a difference!

When Should You Use a Coffee Airpot?

Airpots are becoming popular coffee products because they provide you the capability to brew directly into this device and transport your fresh coffee to a different location.

Many people are also preferring the use of thermal pitchers for their home coffee service because it allows them to brew directly into a thermal device that has a handle. This pitcher can be placed on your table for easy coffee service that will remain as hot and as fresh as when it was brewed.

For larger commercial and semi-commercial settings, rely upon the use of lever or push action airpots because they will allow you to transport your coffee to a different location of your restaurant or coffee shop. This is also something that is preferable for an office because they can be set up in a break room or lobby area. The main focus to any coffee brewing should be freshness, which is exactly what these thermal airpots and pitchers provide!

Have You Tried a Double Wall French Press?

If you are a fan of the French Press, then you definitely need to put some thought into what type of technology you are using.

The Double Wall French Press is truly one-of-a-kind, and it provides you with the capability of keeping your coffee product sealed as fresh for up to two hours at a time. This is much preferred to allowing your drip brewed coffee to sit on the burner in your coffee machine for several hours because it can burn your coffee so that it tastes flat and bitter. Using a Double Wall French Press will give you the same effect of keeping your coffee product hot for a longer period of time, but it will thermally insulate the coffee so that it stays fresh while it remains hot.

Your Double Wall French Press also will provide you with the capability to brew without the use of paper filters so that the essential oils remain in the final brew product for a truly delicious cup of Joe!

Buy Your Coffee Beans Fresh

If you are purchasing pre-ground coffee from a grocery store, then stop! No, I am not a coffee dictator, but I care about your well-being in enjoying a truly delicious cup of Joe. Most commonly purchased whole coffee beans from a grocery store will have been sitting on the shelf for weeks at a time so that they are not fresh in any way.

Furthermore, if you are not purchasing freshly roasted coffee beans, then they will definitely be lacking in their favor. If you purchased pre-ground coffee, then it will be stale because freshly ground coffee goes stale within 30 minutes, so there is no way that the coffee that is pre-ground found at the grocery store can meet these standards.

When you are purchasing fresh, whole coffee beans, it is best to purchase directly from a roaster or online retailer like myself. However, you do need to be careful to look in detail on the website to make sure the beans are freshly roasted the day that they ship to you, otherwise, you will be buying the same quality of coffee beans that you could find sitting on a shelf for months at a time in any grocery store location.

Why Are Commercial Coffee Machines More Popular Than Ever?

If you are used to your humble traditional drip brewed coffee machine, then you may be surprised to hear that commercial coffee machines are on the rise! This is primarily because of the convenience that they offer you in your home brewing needs. For instance, if you purchase a professional espresso machine, then you will have the capabilities of creating an identical drink to what you could purchase at Starbucks. Not to mention the fact that you will no longer have to buy a five dollar cappuccino from Starbucks every day, so you will be saving pots of money in the long run.

Furthermore, a commercial coffee machine for home use is going to give you some serious flexibility in your brewing style. When you consider the BUNN coffee makers available, many have several burners that are independently controlled. If you are entertaining family and friends, then you can brew a pot of decaf and a pot of regular to be kept fresh the entire time. BUNN also brews into customized airpots, which allowed your coffee to remain sealed for hours at a time. You can easily transport these airpots into another area of your house for added convenience. Think of the possibilities in drinking fresh coffee in your living room when you're having guests over for dinner!

Specifically, owning a commercial coffee maker for home use could save you time and money by bringing the much needed professionalism to you.

How To Best Enjoy Your Coffee



If you feel like there is anything lacking in your daily cup of Joe, then read on for the best advice that you are ever going to get. I want to share with you a couple of tips to make sure that you are not omitting any of the brightest ideas in keeping your coffee fresh and delicious.

  • First, make sure that you are buying your coffee freshly from a roaster or from a website that will roast it the day it is shipped to you (like me!). This is the only way to get truly fresh coffee, and don't even think about buying pre-ground store-bought coffee. It is way beyond stale.
  • Next, you must grind your coffee beans right before you brew because if you let them sit out for more than two hours, then the grinds will begin to grow stale. Not good.
  • Are you using filtered water in your coffee machine? If the answer is no, then you may be noticing an unpleasant mineral type taste to your coffee due to the tap water content. Not to mention the fact that it will cause lime scale in your coffee maker and shorten its life.
  • Don't let your coffee sit out for more than 30 minutes! This is the window of opportunity you have to best enjoy your Java, so don't miss out.

Has this been helpful? Do you have any coffee tips for me? I would love to hear anything and everything, all for the better good of the brew!

How Do You Get the Freshest Coffee?


I am sure that you too have been completely frustrated by sipping a cup of stale coffee when you expected it to be fresh. I know that we would all prefer to taste the freshest and best coffee brew products, but you do need to be selective in the your coffee drinking to consistently enjoy the best and freshest taste. First, you will want to be purchasing your coffee beans from a roaster and enjoying them within one to two days for the best flavors. I know that I have said this before, but if you are purchasing pre-ground coffee beans, then they are already stale because freshly ground coffee will lose its freshness within two hours of grinding. Also, you may want to consider home roasting methods because you can freshly roast your coffee, grind it, brew it, and enjoy it in one fell swoop. This is the superior option if you have the means to do it, and I know it will make you a believer too!
