Why should you grind your coffee just before brewing it?

Coffee freshness begins with the bean, but ends with the grind. Grinding your coffee just before brewing is one of the simplest and most powerful habits to improve your coffee experience. Here's why.

🌀 Immediate oxidation

Once ground, coffee begins to oxidize rapidly. Within minutes, it loses aromatic compounds and essential oils. The finer the ground coffee, the faster it degrades. Therefore, grinding just beforehand ensures greater intensity and complexity.

👃 Lively aromas

The aroma of freshly ground coffee is part of the pleasure of the ritual. It's not just about the final flavor, but how it connects you to the moment. Opening a bag and smelling the whole bean is nothing like smelling coffee ground days ago.

🧪 Precise extraction

Instant grinding allows you to adjust the grind according to the method and the coffee. You can try finer or coarser grinds and better control your cup. If you buy pre-ground, you lose that option.

📌 At CafeCo

We recommend investing in a burr grinder (stainless steel is even better). It's one of the best decisions if you drink coffee daily. If you can't, get the right grind for your coffee method, but consume it quickly.

Grinding coffee is like opening a ripe fruit: its essence only lasts for a moment. Do it right away and enjoy it to the fullest.
