Coffee Grounds Start Your Day Off Right
Coffee grounds make it easier to start your day with your favorite cup of joe. The pre-ground coffee can go right in your coffee maker, so you're one step closer to enjoying your favorite hot beverage. Choose from a range of options from CVS to satisfy your coffee cravings.
What Are the Best Coffee Grounds?
Choosing the best coffee grounds depends mainly on your preferences. This classic drink comes in many varieties based on the type of beans, roasting types, special flavors and more. Sorting through the options may help you find a brew that appeals to your taste buds.
You can find roasts ranging from light to dark, allowing you to choose the intensity of your coffee. Some coffee brands offer even more roast options, such as French and espresso roasts, both of which are dark. The roast you choose affects the flavor, but you can also buy coffee grounds with added flavors. Examples include chocolate, hazelnut and vanilla coffees. These options deliver a subtle taste to complement the beans.
Some coffee comes in different ground types, from coarse to fine. Course-ground options are usually ideal coffee grounds for cold brew coffee. They also tend to be less bitter than finely ground coffee beans, which can release more oils and increase bitterness.
How to Use Coffee Grounds
For most coffee makers, you place a filter in the filter basket and add the desired amount of grounds. The amount you put into the basket depends on the size of the pot you're brewing and how strong a flavor you want, so you should use more for a bolder taste. Add the water and run the cycle according to the machine's instructions.
You can use your trash can or compost pile for coffee grounds disposal. Wait for the coffee grounds to cool before tossing them. Don't put the grounds down the sink or garbage disposal, since they can cause clogging issues.
How to Store Coffee Grounds
Light, heat and moisture can affect the quality of your café grounds, so store them away from those things. That means it's best to keep them away from your stove or anywhere where sunlight can reach them. A pantry or kitchen cabinet away from heat sources is a good spot.
If you keep the grounds in the bag, close the bag tightly after you open it. You can also transfer the grounds to an opaque container to keep the sunlight away. Choose an airtight container to maximize freshness by keeping air away from the grounds.
