Ground Coffee

Ground coffee refers to coffee beans that have been roasted and then finely or coarsely ground, depending on the desired brewing method. The grinding process helps to release the natural flavors and oils locked inside the beans, which contribute to the coffee's aroma and taste. The texture of the grind can vary; fine ground coffee is typically used for espresso machines, while coarser grinds are ideal for French press or cold brew. Freshly ground coffee tends to offer the most vibrant and robust flavor, making it a preferred choice for many coffee enthusiasts. Proper storage is important to maintain the freshness of ground coffee, as exposure to air can lead to the loss of flavor and aroma over time.
