What it is

The grounds are ready for brewing in most standard coffee makers.
How people cook with it
Ground coffee is a staple for many morning routines. It is the foundation for a hot cup of coffee, enjoyed by many.
- Brewing a morning cup
- Making iced coffee
- Adding to baked goods
- Creating coffee-flavored desserts
To brew a pot of coffee, measure the desired amount of ground coffee into your coffee maker's filter basket. A common starting point is one to two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of water, but you can adjust this to your preference. Add fresh, cold water to the reservoir. Turn on your coffee maker and let it brew. Once brewing is complete, pour and enjoy. For a stronger brew, use more coffee grounds or less water. For a milder cup, use fewer grounds or more water.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to darker roasts, this medium roast coffee offers a smoother, less intense flavor. It generally has less bitterness than a French roast or espresso roast. It also differs from instant coffee, as it requires a brewing process to extract its flavor and aroma, rather than dissolving directly in hot water.
Who it is for
This coffee is a popular choice for households and offices where a familiar and dependable coffee flavor is desired.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining coffee fresh, store it in its original airtight container or transfer it to a sealed bag or canister. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Avoid storing it in the refrigerator, as this can introduce moisture and unwanted smells.
