Why does this coffee taste good?
During a recent brunch at a relative's home, coffee was served with the meal, so I politely took a cup. Wow, was I surprised. It was delicious even though it had been brewed in a not very unusual Cusinart machine. When I asked what coffee it was, I learned it was Seattle's Best, level 5. The bag displayed a use-by date that was 10 months out from the present (don't know how recently it had been purchased). Online, I learned that this coffee company has been purchased by Starbucks. nhac chuong mien phi
So, how can coffee that is pre-ground, sitting on a store shelf for who knows how long before purchase and showing no roast date, only a use-by date at least 10 months into the future taste so good? I have no idea. Does anyone else?

I have always heard air is the biggest threat to the taste of good coffee. If it came in a sealed valve bag which was just opened it would be awesome coffee the rest of the coffee having been exposed to air the first time catches up to the the actual date and unless stored quickly in a air tight container would taste like coffee that was roasted 8 months ago.

Most roasters tend to vacuum pack their preground coffee immediatelly after roasting so as to increase its shelf life and enhance taste as the coffee ages.
The tragedy of this method is that the coffee has to be consumed all in less than two days otherwise it will oxidize and become stale..
