Whole bean

Also known as whole bean · café en grano · wholebean

What it is and what sets it apart: Differs from ground by less oxygen-exposed surface. Specialty default recommendation.

How it is done: Buy whole → store opaque/cool → grind the dose just before → dial grind to method.

Flavours and cup benefits: Better aroma and sweetness retention; easier dial-in.

Technical notes: Even whole beans age. Use a proper burr grinder.

Common mistakes: Do not pre-grind for the week. Do not store in a sunny clear jar.
