Hi all,
As a fairly novice coffee drinker I was wondering if I could call on some experience.
I am really reticent to purchase an expensive grinder for the amount of coffee that I actually make, which is only about four to six cups a week. For that reason I have been purchasing coffee beans but having it ground for me. A 250g bag then usually lasts me about 6 weeks.
So, my question is, is it better to use pre-ground coffee (ground with a good quality grinder) but then be using that for the next 6 weeks, or to switch to buying coffee beans and grind fresh, but with a cheap grinder (off the shelf maybe $100)?
I can tell that the coffee loses impact as it gets older (I drink it black) but would coffee ground with a cheap grinder be better than using old coffee?
Any advice would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
