Coffee question

I usually buy pre-ground Community Coffee, and I've noticed that they package various types of coffee differently. For example, if you buy Dark/Medium/Between Roast, it comes in a vacuum-sealed brick, but if you buy Cafe Special, it's packaged more loosely. The same can be said for other brands besides Community, but since this is one company that does it differently for some of the coffees that they package, I used them as an example.
Questions:
--Why the difference in packaging?
--Is one type of package better than another?
--Is it cheaper to purchase the vacuum-sealed type bag over the other type, even if the net weight in ounces is the same?
Just curious. And yes, I know grinding your own beans is better, but most days the coffee will not get made if I take the time to grind it myself!

what i know about coffee is limited:
bean are best flavor wise, but if you dont have the time....then buy something in a vac sealed bag with a one way valve. air kills the flavor of your coffee and you need a way to keep it out.I drink River Roads coffee; it has a one way valve so you can get all the air out when you are done. I usually wrap a rubber band around the coffee and stick it in a ziplock when im done. It works for me.

one way valve.
having worked at CC plant for ten yrs., i can answer most of your questions....
1. one way valve is to let of gases that build up in the bag out after roasting, has nothing to do with air escaping
2. all of CC 1lbs. bags are vacuumed with only different outer wraps, the between roast and cafe are the same roast color, slightly different because of the roaster's used
3. vacuum packing is always the most fresh you can get.

not always true, beans start to go stale after 5 days if not under nitrogen pad, or vacuuming (oxygen free).....
Dorothy, hopes this helps some....fwiw
