    Or for revenge on friends / relies who try to serve you instant when you visit them......

    Serve them the old preground when they come over (use fresh grinds for your own coffees )...... they will probably think its good :-/ :P

    Narr, just toss it.

    Instant "coffee" is what you need to make you appreciate real coffee.

    OK, you guys have convinced me - Im going to raid the pantry for all those "vacuum sealed freshly ground coffee" gifts and just throw them all into the bin.   ;D

    They just dont get that I may know what I am talking about.

    It just takes time and patience.
    Ahhh, Im used to that..... My lovely wife has never believed that I know what Im talking about :-?, but she always asks me (eventually) to help her fix some problem or another thats shes confronted with. Of course, I get no credit for any assistance offered and provided :,

    Those are indeed problems with the gifting of coffee. Ive told people time and time again to use it with-in two weeks and even put it on the label (along with the roasting date of course) and have still had it offered to me more than a year after it had been roasted!

    Educating people and breaking them of their habits is a hard thing to do. Keep at it though as theyll thank you in the end! Either that or theyll curse you for making them incapable of drinking anything else! ;D

    Fatboy - some people like to treasure the gift - or because it is so nice they save it for special occasions.

    I only give my home roasted to people who understand that it has to be drunk straight away.

    I find the most difficult is educating them NOT to keep it in the fridge or frezer as i supply it in a one way sealed pack. They just dont get that I may know what I am talking about.

    It just takes time and patience.

    Problem Ive had with giving coffee as a gift is you also need to educate people that it does NOT have an indefinite lifespan.

    I gave some people some coffee around August 06. I got offerred some of the very same coffee about Feb 07.

    I told them it doesnt really last that long. Throw it out. Ill gladly give you some more.

    "Oh no.. this is still good".

    Arggggg.

    It takes a while to train family and friends out of gifting you with coffee. Years in many cases even.

    To speed up that training what seems to work best is supplying your fresh roasted coffee for the pot at all gatherings and the gifting of your fresh roasted coffee at Christmas and other occassions. After a year or two even the most dense will usually get the point.

    At the time of asking this question, I had lots of supermarket coffee at home (still do!) which is too coarse for an espresso machine.

    And I had not yet purchased a grinder. So it was a pre-emptive question.

    But even if I did have a grinder, sometimes (ground) coffee comes my way in the form of presents, gifts, etc.
