Whole Beans – Freshness Starts Here
Whole beans are where all great coffee begins. Grind only what you need — ideally right before brewing. Freshly ground coffee releases beautiful aromatics that disappear within minutes, so timing matters. If you can, invest in a burr grinder for consistent results.
Quick tip: Store your beans in an airtight container, away from light and heat. Avoid the fridge — moisture ruins flavour.
