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!
