![Why does cheap, shitty coffee come in a nice resealable and reusable can, and expensive, good coffee come in a shitty fucking bag? [640x640 - 49KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/NYChjP.jpg){kind=link}
buy whole beans and a grinder and ur own sealed jar to store the beans in before u grind it urself every morning. semi-complicated procedure but best quality coffee possible this way.
Complicated? That's easy.
Buy whole beans from a company that puts the roast date on the package. Only buy beans within two weeks of roasting. Use a vacuum sealer and oxygen absorbers to seal all coffee between uses. Pain in the ass, but fresh coffee all the time.
I do grind my own beans, but there is still no logical reason why expensive whole beans come in a bag and dirt cheap coffee comes in a nice expensive can.
Good coffee is dependent on freshness. You should use up the 1lb bag long before it can go stale. Fancier containers are pointless as they either disguise stale coffee or would simply be tossed after a week or so.
I think Trader Joe's has decent coffee in a can.
That's what I do. Buy quality coffee beans and store in a sealed container. Grind as you go. The lighter the roast the better caffeine.
This is the answer.
Don't apologize. Anybody who can't understand the science behind why ground coffee turns to shit faster than whole beans or thinks operating a countertop appliance is "complicated" has a nigger-tier IQ.
Look at hoppes comment beneath you. You can rub yourself off all day feeling superior about your coffee routine but some people just don't have time for that shit, or simply don't desire spending 45 minutes labour cutting open vacuum seal bags and measuring beans and grinding and making excessively complicated coffee instead of throwing grinds in hot water in 2 minutes.
Doesn't take 45 minutes, or even two hands. Literally made my coffee while writing that comment.
Vacuum sealing every day? Sure, it's possible to jerk off to this shit. Grinding right before you brew takes seconds. Grinders are five bucks at goodwill. This is not a high bar.
That said, I appreciate Hoppes comment immensely. Long term food prep requires oxygen absorbers, so that's a sunk cost. Extremely little effort to put one in the bottom of my jar. Sure it won't work perfectly cuz I'm not vacuum sealing, but it'll work best on the beans that need it most, i.e. the ones I grind last. It's also not a high bar, so I'll start clearing it today.
