Is Freshly Ground Coffee Really Better Than Pre-Ground? 

Ground coffee starts to die after about half an hour. I once ground enough coffee for a morning brew, using a Porlex hand grinder. I left the grounds in the receiving cup and refilled the top chamber with beans. Next day I made coffee using the coffee I'd already ground: it was OK. Then I ground the beans in the top chamber and made coffee again: it was excellent. When you buy ready-ground you can be sure that it's been dead for months, if not years. The other thing you can do is avoid supermarket beans and buy recently-roasted beans directly from the roaster. Or roast your own. Lots of videos about that here on YT.

I don't know about the coffee, but a tuckin video is pretty good to wake up to.

awesome experiment!

I suspect you will notice a similar quality jump moving to an inexpensive French press or a pour-over dripper.

Love freshly ground through a pour-over dripper, but it might be because it makes me feel like a funny little alchemist more than anything

I do like fresh ground better. I can taste the difference. That 3rd method is too tedious for me. I’m too lazy for that LOL

That alarm sound is so traumatizing to me 😬 But good video though!

YOU HAVE TO DO IT BLINDLY YOU FOOL!

Please don't use a blade grinder to grind coffee. It's not designed for it and won't give consistent grind size. Even a very cheap burr grinder is much better
