How do you know if coffee is stale? Simple test: If it's bitter or
flat, it's too late. Coffee is actually known by connoisseurs as a
'sweet' beverage. But shush... you're not supposed to know that. And
who doesn't want you to know? Coffee companies who make their living on
convenience. And yes, believing that freshness is as simple as
'burping' air out of a coffee container, is convenient. Truly fresh
coffee is a pain because you have to order it frequently.

Indubitably some of you have been to this site; but for others, this
seems like a decent place for a coffee newbie to start.
