Strictly speaking, yes. But it won't be at its best. We always recommend that you wait until at least a week past the roast date before brewing. This is to allow the coffee to 'degas', allowing all of the CO2 that's released during the roasting process to escape the beans, which in turn allows the taste of the coffee to develop and settle.

The best place for your coffee is in a cool, dark, dry place. Kitchen cupboards fit the bill nicely.

To maximise freshness, it's a good idea to put your coffee in an airtight container.

Fridges are NOT the best place for your coffee. The moisture in fridges will cause it to stale far more quickly.

However you enjoy it!

But for those of you looking for a little more detail, we're working on a series of brew guides that'll allow you to easily get the best from your brews. You'll be able to access them from the QR code on the back of every bag. We'll let you all know as soon as they're available!

In the meantime, as a couple of rules of thumb for dosing:

Cafetiere/french press

Make your brew using 60g of coffee per litre of water. Steep for 4 minutes and plunge.

filter

Use the same 60g/litre dose. Extraction times will vary depending on your specific brewer.

Espresso

We usually start with an 18g dose to 40g of liquid in the cup, aiming for around 30 seconds from the pump starting to the end of the brew. Adjust grind size, extraction time and end yield to taste.
