This ainโ€™t your grandpaโ€™s pre-ground coffee. On September 28th,ย Blue Bottleย 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 โ€œPour Over, French press, Aeropress, and Coffee Maker preparations.โ€ Each coffee is ground, portioned out for the particular brew method, and then packaged in a “zero-oxygen environment”ย to prevent oxidation, the process that causes coffee to go stale. Blue Bottle Perfectly Groundย will be sold in all theirย cafes and online and retails for $17.50 per five-serving pack.
