I drink two cups of freshly ground coffee a day plus I tend to get friends dropping round for a "proper" "barista" coffee too, so 3 kgs don't last me that long! I admit to never looking at the roasting date but once opened, I keep my beans in a pottery crock pot. It seems to keep them really fresh.

Sam Jelfs Feb 2021 9:10am, 16 Feb 2021 888 posts	0 Sam Jelfs I have bought from Simon Lévelt before, more so for tea than coffee. It's the same problem though, it's over an hours round trip to the nearest branch unless I buy online, and at which point I am only a couple of hundred metres from Bean Brothers who roast fresh on site... The last online order was from Fascino, it was a selection box and I ought to order some more, as I think there are a few darker ones I haven't tried.

Three different kinds of espresso beans to try, and considering I only ordered yesterday I can't complain. Two of them were roasted 2 days ago, and one of them was roasted yesterday. So roasted, packed, and shipped on the same day.
