Whole Bean vs Ground Coffee

Which should you buy? It depends on your kitchen — here is how to choose.

Ground coffee in a white bowl

Every NĀWA roast is available as whole beans or ground to your brewing method. Both make a great cup — the right choice depends on how you brew.

Choose whole beans if…

  • You have a grinder at home
  • You want the freshest possible cup — coffee stays fresh longer as whole beans
  • You like to experiment with different brewing methods

Choose ground if…

  • You don't have a grinder
  • You mostly use one brewing method
  • You want convenience every morning

Picking a grind

  • Coarse — French Press and cold brew
  • Medium — pour-over and our Reusable Filter
  • Medium-Fine — fine-filter brewing
  • Fine / Espresso — espresso machines
