A surprising cup changed my mind about grocery store beans

Some budget beans rival premium ones when fresh.

Check the roast date on those budget bags. A lot of grocery store beans sit on shelves for months, losing flavor. Freshness matters, but so does knowing how fresh they really are!

Learned that the hard way, @ryan_taylor.

Yeah, the "losing flavor" part is so real. I grabbed a bag once that was roasted six months prior, tasted like cardboard. Ryan_taylor is right, you gotta check that date before you buy anything.
