Whole bean coffee
Whole bean is the form that preserves coffee best. Once ground, coffee exposes several hundred times more surface to the air: its volatile aromatics escape within minutes, and most are gone within days. As whole beans, it holds for weeks.
Buying whole bean assumes you own a grinder, and that is the only real prerequisite. It is also the single investment that improves a cup the most, ahead of the choice of coffee itself: a decent coffee ground to the minute beats an excellent coffee ground three weeks ago.
Our fourteen origins are available whole bean in 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg. To dial them in, see our filter brewing guide and our grind guide.
No grinder? The same coffees are available ready ground, in the grind of your choice and at the same price.
