if you grind the beans fresh yourself

I don't get buying better roasted coffee already ground. Coffee starts losing flavor immediately after roasting- within two weeks a huge amount deteriorates. Grinding accelerates this because of greater exposure to air.

Try these basic tips-

1. Get some of the freshest roasted coffee you can find. Big diff from fresh, as in days, to weeks, to months old.

2. Store with as little exposure to air as possible. If it takes you a while to do a pound, keep what you don't use in a week in the freezer. (Must be toatlly sealed).

3. Grind what only what you need per brew.

I'm gonna get on here sometime and expound more on beans n brew. I got some resume witt it.
