Coffee Beans vs Ground Coffee For Home: Which Should You Choose?

Coffee Beans vs Ground Coffee For Home: Which Should You Choose?

For coffee lovers, the choice between whole beans and pre-ground coffee comes down to cost, convenience, and quality. At Custom Coffees, we’ve been roasting award-winning coffee for over 25 years — here’s what you need to know.

Is it cheaper to buy coffee beans?

Yes — buying coffee beans can save money in the long run. You control how much you grind, reduce waste, and enjoy better value than constantly buying small packs of ground coffee.

Do coffee beans last longer?

Absolutely. Whole beans stay fresh longer than ground coffee. Grinding only what you need keeps flavours vibrant and aroma intact.

Is grinding your own coffee worth it?

Definitely. Freshly ground beans unlock the full depth of flavour and aroma. It’s the easiest way to take your coffee from good to exceptional.

Which beans should I choose?

At Custom Coffees, we offer 15 unique blends — including the award-winning Bombora Blend and Fairtrade Organic Soul Blend — plus two single origins. Whether you like bold, smooth, or bright coffee, we’ve got a roast to match your taste.
