Ryan suggests that you should buy the coffee beans you want, then grind the coffee beans at the nearest coffee shop.
“You don’t have to have one grinder if you want to explore the brewing side. “You can grind coffee at nearby cafes, including Common Grounds,” said Ryan.
You can determine the level of coarseness and fineness of the coffee beans that will be ground in the cafe according to your needs.
You can use some of the ground coffee and store the rest well. Wrap the coffee grounds tightly, as Ryan suggests, so that the quality doesn’t change due to the surrounding air and humidity.
