Coffee

I think most people here will be grinding their own coffee per batch. It's typically step 1 or 2 when getting into the hobby, the other being buying better coffee.

That being said, if you do have pre-ground coffee try to use it as quickly as possible as it will lose flavor much faster than whole beans. Store it in a dark, air-tight container.

That tin box you have was originally used for loose leaf tea and is widely available if you want more

I weigh the amount of beans I intend to grind so I never have to store ground coffee.

Inexpensive electric burr grinder. Grind a single serving and Aeropress it. Works a charm. No complaints.

In my coffee. Haha. I weigh out the amount of coffee I need before I grind it. That said, I also exclusively make cold brew, so I'm typically making enough for a few days.

I measure the beans before I grind. No way I'm storing ground coffee.

I grind on demand, if I have a little too much I'll dip it like a wad of tobacco which is probably gross but I like it so don't @ me.

In the timeout corner 🤪

I’m no coffee connoisseur- but wouldn’t storing the coffee beans in ground form be more prone to static build up, humidity, etc etc than just storing the beans in whole form?

Oooh man, that tin box! We had that as our cookie tin box when I was a kid.

Does anyone have any idea where that comes from?

Usually I attach a copper wire from the tin box to the faucet to make sure it's well grounded.
