Why Roasted-to-Order Coffee Tastes Different
Share
Not all “fresh coffee” is truly fresh. At Koffee Snobs, roasting to order is the standard—not the exception. But why does that matter?
Here’s what happens inside every bag of our Grand Reserve and House Vintage coffees.
Freshness = Flavor
Coffee beans begin releasing carbon dioxide immediately after roasting. This degassing process is natural but signals the gradual loss of volatile flavor compounds.
Most coffee sold in supermarkets was roasted months ago.
Roasted-to-order coffee arrives during the peak window:
- Within 7 to 21 days post-roast, when flavor complexity, sweetness, and crema are at their best.
Pre-Roasted Coffee vs. Roasted-to-Order
| Pre-Roasted Coffee | Roasted-to-Order Coffee |
|---|---|
| Roasted months ago | Roasted after you order |
| Flavors faded | Peak flavor preserved |
| Flat aromas | Bright, rich aromas |
| Lower crema in espresso | Fuller crema, richer mouthfeel |
Your Machine Can Tell the Difference
Bean-to-cup machines are designed to extract nuance from fresh beans. Using roasted-to-order beans allows your machine’s grinder and brew unit to work as intended.
Both Grand Reserve and House Vintage are roasted fresh for every order.
Does Grind Matter?
Yes. While whole bean preserves maximum freshness, Koffee Snobs also offers pre-ground options to fit your brewing setup.
