Why you should buy your coffee beans in bulk

If you're a coffee lover, buying your beans in bulk is a smart choice that can save you time and money. When you buy coffee in bulk, you get access to wholesale pricing on larger quantities. This is ideal for busy households that go through a lot of coffee and want to avoid constantly running out or making trips to the store.

Buying bulk coffee also lets you stock up on your favorite roasts and blends so you always have a fresh supply on hand. And by purchasing whole bean coffee, you can grind it fresh right before brewing for the best possible flavor. Many bulk coffee suppliers, like Hamlet Coffee, offer a variety of premium single-origin and blended coffees to choose from.

The benefits of choosing whole bean coffee

When you're looking to buy coffee beans, it's best to choose whole beans rather than pre-ground. Whole coffee beans stay fresher for longer compared to ground coffee. As soon as coffee is ground, it begins to lose its aroma and flavor due to exposure to air.

With whole bean coffee, you can grind the amount you need right before brewing. This ensures you get the freshest, most flavorful cup of coffee possible. Grinding your own beans also allows you to tweak the grind size to suit your preferred brewing method, from coarse for French press to fine for espresso.

Some great choices for whole bean coffee include:

Finding the right coffee grinder

To get the most out of your whole bean coffee, you'll need a good burr grinder. Burr grinders crush the beans between two revolving abrasive surfaces for an even, consistent grind. Avoid blade grinders, which slice the beans unevenly and can cause bitter flavors.

There are manual and electric burr grinders to choose from. Manual hand grinders are affordable, portable and great for small batches. Electric burr grinders are more convenient for daily use and can grind larger amounts at once. For espresso, look for a dedicated espresso grinder that can produce a very fine, consistent grind.

We offer a wide selection of high-quality burr grinders, including:

Choosing the right coffee brewing equipment

In addition to a good grinder, you'll need the right coffee maker to brew your freshly ground beans. The main types of coffee makers are:

Some of our most popular coffee makers include:

Perfecting your coffee brewing technique

Once you have your coffee beans, grinder and brewer, it's time to perfect your brewing technique. The keys to great tasting coffee are:

  1. Using the right water (filtered, at the proper temperature)
  2. Measuring your coffee accurately (aim for a coffee:water ratio of about 1:16)
  3. Wetting all the grounds evenly during brewing
  4. Brewing for the optimal length of time (not over- or under-extracting)

Coffee kettles with long, narrow spouts give you the control to evenly saturate the grounds when brewing pour over coffee. We carry an excellent selection, including:

For the most precise, consistent results, use a kitchen scale to weigh out your coffee and water. Check out our collection of coffee scales.

Storing your coffee to maximize freshness

Proper coffee storage is important to keep your beans fresh. Exposure to air, moisture, heat and light will cause coffee to go stale faster.

To maximize the shelf life of your bulk coffee beans or grounds, store them in an opaque, air-tight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating or freezing coffee, as this can introduce moisture and cause flavor loss. Ideally, buy the amount of coffee you can use up within 1-2 weeks for peak freshness and flavor.

We offer a variety of attractive, functional coffee storage containers to keep your beans fresh.

Level up your latte art skills

If you want to take your home coffee to the next level, try your hand at latte art. With a little practice, you can create beautiful designs like hearts, tulips and rosettas to top your lattes and cappuccinos. Here's what you'll need:

  • An espresso machine capable of producing quality microfoam, such as the Sage Bambino Plus
  • A milk pitcher with a sharp spout for pouring, like the Loveramics Milk Pitcher
  • Fresh whole milk (dairy alternatives like oat milk can also work)
  • A cup with a wide mouth to pour into, such as a latte cup

The key is to start with well-textured microfoam - steamed milk with tiny, uniform bubbles and a glossy surface. As you pour the milk into the espresso, use a zigzag motion to create contrast between the espresso and milk. With a little wiggling and practice, you'll be pouring latte art like a pro.
