What is Whole Bean Coffee?

Whole bean coffee refers to roasted coffee beans in its whole, unground form. Whole bean coffee come in various types, origins, and flavors. To brew coffee, the whole coffee beans must first be ground to the desired consistency using a manual burr grinder, blade grinder, or coffee maker with a built-in grinder.

How to Make Good Coffee from Whole Beans?

To make a good cup of coffee from whole beans, start with freshly roasted-to-order, specialty coffee beans from Colipse. Weigh or measure the desired amount of whole beans for your desired number of cups, and grind them just before brewing. Use the right grind size for your brewing method. Coarse grind for French press and cold brewing, medium for manual pour-overs and drip coffee makers, and fine for espresso and Moka pot. Adjust the grind size, coffee-to-water ratio and brewing time to suit your taste preferences.

Is Whole Bean Coffee Better than Ground?

Yes, whole bean coffee is generally considered better than pre-ground because it retains its maximum freshness, flavor, and aroma significantly longer. Grinding whole beans just before brewing preserves gases and aromas, enhances the bloom, prevents oxidation, and ultimately delivers a fresher, stronger, and more flavorful cup. For this reason, it's better to buy whole coffee beans.

Is it Cheaper to Buy Whole Bean or Ground Coffee?

Whether whole bean or ground coffee is cheaper depends on several factors. While the price per ounce may be similar, whole bean coffee often requires an initial investment in a grinder. However, buying whole beans can be more economical in the long run due to their longer shelf life and potential for bulk discounts.

How Much are Coffee Beans?

Whole coffee bean prices vary widely based on quality and sourcing.

  • Under $15: Supermarket coffee beans from large brands cost under $15 per pound but often lack transparency and may have quality issues. These coffees feature long shelf lives without clear roasting dates. Bags range from 12 oz to 2 pounds, with larger, cheaper bags raising quality concerns.
  • $15 - $35: Whole coffee beans in this range include specialty and commodity types. Specialty beans come in 12-oz to 1-pound bags with options like direct trade, single origin, and traceability. They display details about varietals, processing, and altitude, offering higher quality and roasted-to-order options with nuanced flavors. Commodity beans are sold in larger 2- to 5-pound bags.
  • $35 - $60: High-end beans from micro-lots or rare varieties cost $35-$60 per bag. These beans are meticulously cultivated and processed to emphasize unique flavors. Bags hold less than 12-oz because of their rarity and exclusivity.

A premium 12 oz bag of specialty whole coffee beans at Colipse ranges from $19.95 to $24.95. Enjoy free shipping on all coffee orders.

How Long Does Whole Bean Coffee Last?

Unopened, freshly roasted whole coffee beans can last up to 12 months when stored properly in a cool, dark, dry place in an airtight container with a vacuum or one-way valve system, and one week to a month once opened. After these periods, the whole bean coffee is still safe to consume, but the freshness and optimal flavor will start to fade. To maintain the best-tasting whole bean coffee for longer; keep the beans away from strong odors and do not refrigerate them to avoid temperature fluctuations.
