How to Grind Coffee Beans
There are specific bean grinders on the market that you can use to grind up your organic coffee beans. If you don’t want to buy that, you may be asking “can I grind coffee beans in a blender?” The answer is yes! Put your whole beans in the blender in small batches (about ¼ cup) and pulse on medium speed until beans are ground up consistently. Make sure not to over-blend and heat up the beans, that could cause a harsh bitter tasting coffee.
Coffee Bean Storage
Contrary to popular belief, it’s actually better to store coffee beans at room temperature rather than the refrigerator or freezer. Storing your whole bean coffee in your pantry is actually the perfect spot for it. If you put it in your fridge, it will end up absorbing all of the food smells in your fridge, which will result in a disappointing cup of coffee.
Whole Bean vs. Ground Coffee
Is there a difference in the freshness of the coffee? If you were to go to a supermarket and buy ground coffee, there would be a noticeable difference in the coffee beans because those are usually already stale before you can buy them. At Tayst, the freshness argument is moot, because all of our beans are freshly roasted right before shipping to your door, whole or ground.
The main difference of whole bean vs. ground coffee is in the coarseness of the beans. With pre-ground coffee, the coarseness of the beans is pre-determined for you, but with whole bean coffee you have the freedom to decide the size of your grind. You can enhance the flavor of your coffee if you are using the optimal coffee grind size. For cold brew coffee or a french press, coarser grinds work well. For a drip coffeemaker, you’ll want more medium ground beans.
Do Coffee Beans Expire?
Not all good things have to come to an end, but unfortunately your coffee must. If you haven’t finished your whole bean coffee in 9 months or so, you should toss it and buy a new batch.
