Whole bean or ground coffee? Start with your equipment and routine. The most useful choice is the format you can brew consistently with the tools you already have.
Big Guns Coffee’s everyday online coffees are sourced from coffee-growing regions worldwide and roasted to order. Available grind choices vary by product, so check the options on the coffee you want to buy.
Choose whole bean when you have a grinder
Whole bean coffee lets you grind close to brewing and adjust the grind for your method. That flexibility can be helpful when you use more than one brewer or want to make small changes to your preparation.
Start with the grind setting recommended by your grinder or brewer. Make one change at a time and keep notes on what you prefer. A different grind can change the way water moves through the coffee, so it is useful to keep the coffee amount and water amount consistent while you experiment.
Choose ground coffee for a simpler routine
Ground coffee removes a preparation step. Match the option to your brewer: standard or drip ground is a starting point for drip preparation, while espresso grind is intended for espresso preparation. Follow your equipment’s directions rather than treating every ground option as interchangeable.
For French press or cold brew, check whether the coffee offers an appropriate coarse-ground option or use whole beans with a grinder. Explore the cold brew coffee listing and read the available format before ordering.
Build a repeatable brewing routine
Use clean equipment and fresh water. Begin with your brewer’s recommended coffee-to-water ratio. If you want to adjust the result, change one thing at a time: coffee amount, grind or brewing time, where your method allows it.
Reseal your coffee after use and store it away from heat, moisture and direct light. Keep the bag label or order confirmation so you can find the same coffee and format when you reorder.
