hey all,
I have been in the coffee industry for about 5 years or so and managing my first coffee shop.
First thing I noticed was that the coffe we are getting from our supplier is about 90-100 days old (after roasting). Other coffee companies I have worked with get their coffee to me within 2 weeks of it being roasted. Seems strange.
They insist that their coffee is stil fresh after 90 days because of their packaging but everyone I have spoken with disagrees. Some of the vaccum sealed bags I recieve has deflated and the coffee is hard. I have fought tooth and nail with the company but nothing I do seems to be working to get fresher coffee.
Does this seem right to anyone? I want to switch coffee companies but my boss loves them. Help!
