The bulk blend that Finns consume in large quantities "Paulig Juhla Mokka" is made from high quality beans.
I looked it up. Looks like typical super market coffee to me. Some of the big roasters produce a fairly decent blend. They use good quality arabica. These guys are probably no exception.
I've had the opportunity to get bags of coffee of a couple of brands with a recent roast date. Within a one to two weeks. Perfectly good. But get those beans through normal supermarket supply chains and it doesn't matter how good the coffee was, it'll be stale and taste bad by the time you brew it. Even worse if the beans are pre-ground and vacuum packed into bricks. I'd rather drink instant.
- Nokinside 5y agoYes. It's bulk coffee and cheap, not even close to best coffees you can get vacuum packed. It's still better than most bulk coffee you get from most other super markets from the rest of the world.
- paavohtl 5y agoThe roast date is the important differentiator. Coffee from major brands (such as the aforementioned Paulig) do not include it. Rather, they have a best before date, which can be literally years after the roasting. But I guess the coffee can't get much worse after, as you said, being pre-ground and vacuum packed into a brick.
