Freshness is the difference most people can taste before origin, processing or brew gear. Supermarket coffee is often roasted months before you open it; freshly roasted coffee is roasted to order and dispatched within days.
Freshly roasted by Gray Cup, our roasting partner — ships across India.
Why roast freshness matters
Roasted coffee releases CO₂ and volatile aromatics for weeks. The sweet spot is 4–30 days off roast for filter and pour-over. Past ~6 weeks the aroma flattens, the sweetness drops, and the cup tastes papery or dull. Ground coffee stales in days, not weeks.
How to check
- Look for a roast date (not just "best before"). No roast date is a red flag.
- Buy whole bean, grind at brew time.
- Buy a quantity you'll finish in a month.
- Bags should have a one-way degassing valve.
