What is pre ground coffee?
Pre ground coffee is coffee beans that have already been ground to specific sizes for different brewing methods. It’s basically coffee that’s ready to use straight from the bag – no grinding needed! The beans are roasted, cooled, and then ground to precise sizes that work best for various brewing equipment. This makes it super convenient for coffee lovers who don’t have a grinder at home or prefer the simplicity of ready-to-brew coffee. While whole coffee beans stay fresh longer, our pre ground coffee is sealed immediately after grinding to maintain its flavour and aroma.
How should I store ground coffee?
Store your ground coffee in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. The kitchen counter might seem convenient, but it’s better to keep it in a cool, dark cupboard. Avoid the fridge or freezer, as coffee acts like a sponge and can absorb other flavours and moisture. The original bag works well if it has a good seal, but transferring to an airtight container can help maintain freshness even longer. Once opened, try to use within 2-3 weeks for the best taste.
What's the difference between filter and espresso ground coffee?
The main difference is how fine the coffee is ground. Filter coffee uses a medium grind, like rough sand, which lets water flow through at just the right speed. Espresso ground coffee is much finer, almost like powder, because espresso machines need this to make proper shots. Using the wrong grind can make your coffee taste weak or bitter, so it’s important to match the grind to your brewing method.
How long does ground coffee stay fresh?
Ground coffee stays at its best for about 2-4 weeks after opening, though it’s still safe to drink after this time. The flavour starts to fade because the coffee’s oils are exposed to air. That’s why we grind and pack our coffee just before shipping – to give you the longest window of freshness. Once opened, use it within a month for the best taste.
Why choose pre ground over whole beans?
Pre ground coffee is perfect if you want great coffee without the extra step of grinding. It’s convenient, mess-free, and ideal if you don’t have a grinder at home. While coffee experts might prefer whole beans, our pre ground coffee is the next best thing – we grind it fresh and pack it quickly to keep those amazing flavours locked in.
What brewing method is best for ground coffee?
Each brewing method works best with its specific grind size. Filter drips and pour-overs love medium grinds, while French press needs coarse grounds. Espresso machines need fine grounds, and cold brew works best with coarse. When you order from us, just tell us how you brew, and we’ll grind it perfectly for your method.
How much ground coffee should I use per cup?
For most brewing methods, use about 2 tablespoons (10-12g) of ground coffee per 180ml of water. But feel free to adjust this to match your taste – some like it stronger, others prefer it milder. Just keep the ratio consistent once you find what you like. Using a scale helps get it right every time.
Why does ground coffee taste different from beans?
Ground coffee can taste different from beans because grinding exposes more surface area to air, which starts the flavour release process. This is why freshly ground beans often taste more vibrant. However, our pre ground coffee is processed and packed quickly to preserve as much flavour as possible, giving you great taste without needing a grinder.
Is ground coffee in the UK different from other countries?
Ground coffee in the UK follows similar standards to other countries – what matters most is the quality of beans and grinding. Here at Guilty, we source our beans globally and grind them fresh for the UK market. The main difference you might notice is that UK coffee often comes in 250g bags rather than the American 12oz (340g) standard.
