This ain’t your grandpa’s pre-ground coffee. On September 28th, Blue Bottle announced the launch of Blue Bottle Perfectly Ground, individually sealed single-serving packages of pre-ground coffee.
Blue Bottle Perfectly Ground comes in a variety of blends and rotating assortments, and will be made in different grind sizes optimized for “Pour Over, French press, Aeropress, and Coffee Maker preparations.” Each coffee is ground, portioned out for the particular brew method, and then packaged in a “zero-oxygen environment” to prevent oxidation, the process that causes coffee to go stale. Blue Bottle Perfectly Ground will be sold in all their cafes and online and retails for $17.50 per five-serving pack.
