In our house, we generally go for variety in our coffee beans. That means when we are finishing one bag, we’re going to open a different bag with totally different beans inside.

What do you do if there aren’t enough old beans to make a full serving of coffee?

It may be heresey, but I mix the final old beans with a few beans from the new bag and call it my “bonus blend”.

  • I just throw em in with whatever beans are next in line. It occurs to me now, though, I could espresso grind them and save it for some dessert…
