Buying coffee to bring home?

[two4today]

Ras,

You know your stuff and thanks for sharing the info with the board. Coffee is my business and I can backup everything you say. I will add that it would be smart to get your roasted coffee packaged in bags with the one way valve within 48 hours of roasting. The coffee can degass in the bags, so that is not a problem. Degassing in those bags will remove the oxygen which is what robs the flavor / quality of the coffee. Within 48 hours after roasting, coffee begins to go stale, losing flavor and taste. Just my two cents worth.

Thanks,

Two

O.K. you have convinced me. I ordered some 1/2 lb bags with the degassing valve. I plan to order some fresh roast from either Big Roy or Thunder next trip. I will wait till my last full day there so I get the fresh roast and I will repack into the degassing bags immediatley.
