100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee — Roasted & Ground, 8 oz

Whole beans get most of the attention when specialty coffee is discussed, Kona and Ethiopian origins especially, but most coffee, famous or not, is actually consumed pre-ground, because it is simpler. This 8 oz bag puts 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee, medium roasted, into that more common, ready-to-brew form, aimed at buyers who want the name without the extra equipment.

No grinder is required, and that convenience is the whole point of the format: scoop, brew, done. Coffee generally loses aroma a little faster once it is ground, since more surface area is exposed to air, and the resealable bag here is meant to slow that, though it will not fully undo the trade-off against beans ground fresh at home.

At about 13 g of grounds per 8 oz cup, this bag works out to roughly 17 cups. It suits buyers without a grinder, or anyone who wants to try a well-known origin without adding new equipment to the kitchen. It is the smaller of the two ground sizes on this site, a reasonable size for a first try.
