“ONCE you’ve bought the beans, you’re going to need to grind them. Don’t let the store do it, unless you live right next door and don’t mind running over whenever you want a cup. Coffee beans lose their flavor very quickly once they are ground. Within even just a couple of hours, you’ll notice a difference in taste, to say nothing of the several days it will take you to go through a whole bag of pre-ground coffee.”
Too. Much. Effooooort.
