When ordering this coffee how is one able to find out when this particular batch was roasted? How fresh? Read reviews of stale beans.

yes, this coffee is roasted, I am not sure if Lavazza sells unroasted coffee (green beans). it is vacuum sealed and expiration date in April 2015, so I assume it is fresh. taste and smell is great!

My first batch I made vanilla extract. My second batch is still in the package even in shipping package still in cabinet until I can make time to make more vanilla extra. I'm not sure but the website you purchase the beans from will probably tell you

I've roasted over a hundred batches with the FR SR500 and although there is a caramel/burnt sugar smell afterwards, I've not had much smoke. It is a good idea to roast under a kitchen hood to help eliminate the smell, but I don't even turn on the fan anymore as we've gotten used to the smell. Can you tell me about your roast:Are you new to roasting? How dark did your beans get? Did you reach second crack? How long did you roast?

I've noticed no change. Still very good coffee in my estimation. I believe most coffee dealers are honest with their product regarding quality. I do believe they try to fudge a bit sometimes with the quantity.

In general we have found Amazon's freshness dates to be quite satisfactory on the orgain products. Of the 20-30 cases of orgain products gotten from Amazon's Subscribe & Save Program none have been outdated. You might be able to have Amazon check the dates before ordering--worth asking their customer service. Hope this info is helpful.

To second another answer... There should be a little note from the factory that says they test with actual coffee before the unit leaves the factory, so finding left over grinds is normal on new units.

We are on the auto refill program with Amazon. We have been very pleased with the processed date - expiration date. My guess would be that they took this picture in the past. I'm sure if you ordered one it would be current. Besides when you keep it in the fridge it will be fine. Try one I know it will be fresh. Barlean's is one of the best. Good luck.

Thanks JJLet me know how you like the A10.Now the question is, how are you grinding your beans? I have a Baratza Vario and I am also very happy with it. Occasionally grinds will stick in the basket due to static, but overall pretty rock solid. They have the new Vario that doses by weight; wish I had it. When I use my Chemex or Hario pour overs, I weigh out the beans and water. If you haven't tried a pour over, it's an inexpensive investment which brews excellent coffee.Happy brewing my friend...

It lies. Package color is old color, but look at the bottom and it points to medium/dark. If you look at the "About the Product" and click "more" you'll find it says light to medium roast. As far as I know that doesn't exist any more. I've looked everywhere. The new medium/dark is disgusting and I felt ripped off to have it come up and say "order this again" and then receive something different. I didn't know as my husband put them away and he makes my coffee in the a.m. Couldn't stand it. I vented on here before. Wish Taster's Choice would bring the original product back. It lies.

I read the can thoroughly and it doesn't indicate anywhere whether the seeds are raw or roasted. Sorry I couldn't help.

My batch of Organo Gold was manufactured in 2013 and expires in Aug. 2016. Does this help? As a rule I do not like or buy instant coffee. This I love and got as a free sample from an acquaintance. I bought some because I love the taste! I keep all my various coffees tightly closed and refrigerate them. DB

Any kind of coffee that has been freshly ground will work. However keep in mind that better quality coffee will yield better tasting results. Don't skimp on the good stuff

The other comment that the bean from Amazon is not as fresh as those from the farm is completely untrue. These beans you buy from Amazon are directly shipped from the farm.

I would avoid any coffee that has an expiration date. ALWAYS buy your fresh roasted coffee beans with a 'Roasted on' date. Freshly roasted coffee only has a shelf life of about 3 weeks. The beans will off gas as well so the packaging needs to have a one way vent (allows off gasses to escape but prevents oxygen from entering). If you are buying your coffee with an expiration date, you are buying old stale coffee, 100% guaranteed. Do a little research.

It was not expired. That was one of the things I checked before using it. My wife and I both ordered a box each and neither of us had any results other than bad tasting coffee.

Mine seemed fine, but I found this online regarding things you can look for to determine if it's fresh: http://www.ehow.com/info_8359516_storage-life-raw-cacao-beans.htmlI found the "best by" date on the bottom of the back panel - to the right of the bar code.Hope this helps! I would definitely contact the seller and see about a replacement if it seems bad.
