Pre ground Coffee for Friends

I would still grind as close to when they will use it as you can, maybe you could provide them with smaller amounts of pre ground
I used to buy beans preground from a roaster many years ago and noticed the flavours dropped off quite significantly after 4 or 5 days

Yes that is what I wanted to do, I was thinking it may have been better to grind the day after roasting and then let them enjoy a week plus after roasting.

That is something I've also wondered. Besides substandard coffee, does is make a difference if you grind coffee straight from the roaster instead of 5 - 10 days later? The assumption is that mates don't have a grinder so you are going to give them a bag to enjoy. I think that is what paulau is referring to.

Do you like your friends?
Why not grind theirs at the time you would use for yours? 
Just make sure they know to keep it in an air-tight container in cool dark place to increase the life...

Pre ground Coffee for Friends
Hi,
I am going to give some of my home roasted coffee to two friends who don't have a grinder. So I was wondering at how many days old would be the best to grind the coffee for them?
It's currently about 4 days old and usually seems to reach its peak for when I'm grinding the beans for my coffee at about 11 days old.
I know this is not ideal, but hey not everyone has a grinder
ThanksTags: None
