![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}
Most higher grade coffee sits on shelves for months before purchase, no different than cheap stuff. The exception would be small scale roast to order coffee which is sold directly to customer.
God i love that scene
Which is why I roast my own coffee beans.
I know I can google this, but how do you do it and which beans do you use?
I’m planning on starting roaring and grinding myself
You can get a cheap grinder it doesn’t matter, what matters is the beans and how they are roasted.
If you have more small batch gourmet beans than you need, put them in a sealed jar in the freezer.
Never thought about home roasting, just grinding - thinking of getting one, maybe a percolator, the well seasoned one at AA meetings is the only coffee I drink black.
A percolator is just another way of making coffee. It doesn't grind or roast anything. It is best way to make coffee in my opinion but more of a pain to clean.
"well-seasoned"? Blech.
Higher grade coffee sold gets old fast.
Find a local roaster
The only local roaster near here is the epicenter of local faggotry. All the bicycle leotard faggots and such.
I know. It sucks, but those fags make the better stuff ... well not the fags, but the roastmaster in the back. The fags just brew it.
My favorite is Blue Bottle Cafe in San Fransisco. Ultimate faggotry brewing the ultimate coffee.
Fitness is gay?
This is retarded. My grocery store roasts their own beans and has a roast date. All good coffee has a roast date. Here's the reality for the n00bs.... Good coffee comes in a bag because good coffee is only good for a couple weeks after it's roasted. The only acceptable way to store good coffee for any length of time is in an airtight container in the freezer. Any coffee person that enjoys good coffee will also have quality airtight containers much superior to the can that cheap coffee comes in.

That's not higher grade coffee, that's cheap coffee with marketing behind it. Not the same thing.
Higher grade coffee on the shelf at least has the roast date on it so you can tell if it's gone to shit or not. Freshly roasted coffee is actually pretty good for the first couple of weeks as long as it's stored in an oxygen-free package. Cheap coffee hides the roast date from you because they're far more interested in catering to the warehousing desires of retailers than they are in getting you good coffee.
