Whole bean or ground?
An honest answer for people who do not want to buy a grinder yet.

Whole bean keeps better and lets you dial in. Ground is convenient and, from a good roaster, still far better than supermarket coffee. The important thing is to buy the right grind for your brewer.
How we show grinds
Each grind a roaster offers is a separate variant with its own price and stock status. When you filter by “espresso grind”, a coffee only appears if that grind is actually in stock at the roaster.
If your preferred grind is sold out, we show the whole-bean option and say so, rather than quietly swapping it.
