I loved seeing this. We had the exact same tin box in my childhood household. We used it to store tea. May all your future coffee brews be blessed with this mental connection
Nice tin. We grind a 1L Mason jar’s worth at a time and use a French press. One jar lasts about 2 weeks and honestly, I can’t tell the difference between a fresh grind and a 2-week grind, regardless of bean used. I’m sure some would disagree :)
Don’t store ground coffee? Buy an inexpensive hand grinder from someone who’s moved up to a more expensive model and keep your beans whole until you’re ready to brew.
Coffee stales amazingly quickly and there’s really no good way to prevent it, the longest I’d store ground coffee for is like half a day (if I’m taking some ground coffee to work to make a cup mid day.)
If you absolutely must store ground coffee an airtight container should work but it won’t be terribly fresh after a day or two.
I think this is the correct answer. When I went back to drinking coffee again a few years ago I bought a cheap hand grinder from scamazon. When money was available I bought the electric grinder I have now. I still use the hand grinder when camping.
I keep my beans in the freezer. If I kept ground coffee around I'd keep it there too.
Any suggestions there? I’ve looked in the past from recommended review sites but some of the ones I saw suggested online as quality started at like $80. Also does it take a long time to grind say 6-8 tablespoons of ground coffee?
I’m out of the loop here, you’re better off making a new post and asking everyone. I ascended to a $200+ 1zpresso last year and I’m never going back. Someone on Reddit bought it and had buyers remorse so when I saw it listed for half price I couldn’t resist.
I can tell you not to buy the Hario Skerton or Skerton Pro though; both were incredibly inconsistent and I had a terrible time brewing using them. Even with stabilizer ring mods they both made a ton of fines and boulders, they weren’t good for anything except very coarse grind cold brew.
I see a lot of people recommending the Timemore C2 as a cheap first grinder. Look for one on AliExpress and it’ll be cheaper than scAmazon. <$50 that sounds like the best option. I dug around a bit earlier and it looks like you can get one for ~$40 when they’re on sale.
I store mine in a plastic container with an air tight seal. I prefer to use fresh grounds, but my grinder seems more consistent with higher volume. I usually grind 2-3 brews worth at time.
I also store mine in plastic container, I actually grind roughly a week to two weeks worth of coffee at a time. The flavor difference after it sits for a while is less noticeable to me than the difference from when I get a new bag of coffee beans.
Be warned about that grinder you have, the basket the grounds deposit into is two separate pieces and will eventually fail, spreading coffee grounds all over your kitchen on your dog while you’re hurrying trying to get ready for work and you overslept.
I’ve had that grinder for about ten years now and I bang that basket on the knockbox everyday and it’s doing okay, but I get what you mean. The hopper lid has a crack in it from falling not very hard a while ago, so I think it might just be luck of the draw as to whether one gets a fragile plastic piece.
Watch, I’m sure the basket will shatter tomorrow, now. But the good news would be that I don’t think they sell replacement parts for it anymore, so I guess I’d have to upgrade.
If the building is built to code, the ground connector on the wall outlets should also be well grounded. Some new buildings have plastic water pipes so the faucets might not be as grounded as they used to be.
