Why does anyone buy pre-ground coffee?

I will never understand how they sell so much pre-ground coffee when buying whole beans is the same price per oz.

It would be like offering sirloin steak for the same price as a ribeye and people choosing the sirloin.

I have no idea why people just accept worse quality coffee when electric grinders are not expensive and would improve their coffee every day.

Look mutha frick

I don’t even know how to make actual pumpkin spice or even what magic goes into making that but even if i did, I’m not gonna go buy a pumpkin and grind it up with coffee beans to make the drink that all the bitches love.

I’m just buying a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks

Because those grinders are fricking loud and I want to make coffee and go sit on the patio before everyone else wakes up.

Why buy pre-ground meat? It is cheaper and way better to grind your own???

Oh, its a PITA to grind every time you need it but I do grind for some things, good burgers and meatballs most often, but finding ground pork is a PITA unless you do it yourself.

Because Community doesn't make Mardi Gras King Cake whole bean coffee, baw.

Why do people add stupid shite to their coffee instead of just drinking it black? It's more expensive that way.

We could apply the same logic to buying boxed cake mixes or little bags of cornbread mix--its actually cheaper to make your own batter instead of buying those, but people still do it.

See how dumb it is to worry about what other people do with their money?

You don't grow your own coffee beans? You don't roast them yourself? What are you, some kind of pussy? You certainly aren't a coffee snob......drinking packaged shite beans you bought off a shelf. I'd never do that shite.

I ground up my own beans from Trader Joe’s. Their French roast beans are very good.

But sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I buy whatever pre-ground options are cheap at the store.

I get by with either option.
