Which Size Should I Get?
The average person who makes one double espresso a day goes through roughly 540 g (about 1.2 lb) of beans a month, so we recommend the 16 oz bag for most single espresso drinkers.
- 12 oz – About 19 double shots. For a few espressos a week.
- 16 oz (1 lb) – Recommended. About 25 double shots. The closest fit for one double espresso a day.
- 2 lb – About 50 double shots. Ideal for two daily drinkers.
- 5 lb – About 125 double shots. For big households, offices and small cafés.
Estimates based on an 18 g double shot.
Why Whole Bean?
Every bag ships whole bean, and that's on purpose. Coffee starts losing its aroma and flavor within minutes of grinding, and espresso is the most sensitive brew method of all.
- Fresher, sweeter shots. Grinding right before you brew keeps the oils and aromatics in your cup, not in the bag.
- Dial in your machine. Every espresso machine and every bean needs a slightly different grind. A grinder lets you adjust it for the perfect shot.
- Lasts the whole month. Whole beans stay fresh far longer than pre-ground coffee.
No grinder yet? Shop our coffee grinders, or call us and we'll help you pick one for your machine.
