Ground Coffee Online

Purchasing ground coffee online is convenient, flavourful and can be stored easily at home, which is why it’s always popular. However, with its growing popularity comes a wide range of options available, so it can sometimes be overwhelming to decide which ground coffee is best for you. That’s why we’ve put together a couple of things to know before buying ground coffee online.

What Are the Benefits of Ground Coffee?

The coffee bean can be found in the cherry, containing two beans in a pod in its most natural form. The beans are harvested, sorted, and eventually roasted to perfection to entice all passers-by into a coffee shop. It is this freshly ground coffee that brings many benefits:

• Heart health. Freshly ground coffee is packed with antioxidants, which prevent cells from oxidising due to toxins, chemicals and inflammation. One antioxidant, chlorogenic acid, which is found exclusively in coffee, is believed to help reduce the risk of heart disease by 15%.

• Performance/brain enhancer. The main reason many people consume coffee is to wake them up and give their brains a boost. Besides caffeine boosting the central nervous system to provide the drinker with an energy boost, it also contains ergogenic acid. This acid may enhance endurance levels and decrease exertion.

The popularity of coffee means that many have discovered its help with weight management, focus and energy, but everything in moderation. Three to four cups of coffee are considered safe for adults; anything beyond that, and you might not be so grateful for the role of coffee in your life any longer.

Ground Coffee Vs Whole Bean Coffee: What’s The Difference?

Ground coffee is simply roasted whole coffee beans, ground in an industrial grinder, packed and then sold generally to people at home where equipment and space are limited. While ground coffee may be more popular among consumers because of its convenience, having your own grinder at home will always produce a superior cup because coffee quickly goes stale when exposed to the air. The air has so much access to the coffee when you grind it that it stales very quickly.

However, for convenience, ground coffee can still do a great job if handled correctly! We recommend you purchase your ground coffee in small amounts (multiple small bags are better than one big one) to keep it sealed away from the air and only open what you intend to use in the next few days.

How to Properly Store Ground Coffee

Ground coffee should be stored in an airtight container and be used within one to two weeks to maintain maximum freshness. After receiving your coffee ground online and opening it, you can store it in an airtight container, or if buying from us, simply use our re-sealable bags the coffee comes supplied in. An unopened pack of ground coffee should last 4 to 6 weeks at room temperature on the shelf. If you’re someone who struggles with getting through coffee in a short time, then getting a grinder and moving to whole beans may be for you or purchase your coffee in multiple small bags.

The best way to determine if your coffee has expired is to smell it. There won’t be a pleasant aroma if the coffee has gone bad. It may smell sharp or a bit sour, which means the great taste will have gone as well. Good fresh coffee always smells warm and inviting.

When ordering ground coffee online in Australia, you know it’s going to get to your doorstep in no time at all. It will also come in sealed packaging to keep the freshness locked in so that there’s no doubt in your mind that the flavour and freshness will be there when you open it. Purchasing ground coffee online is becoming increasingly popular, and it’s not going to slow down any time soon, so get your hands on a bag today.
