Blue Bottle Introduces Its Perfectly Ground Coffee
Now you can make Blue Bottle at home.
For years, Oakland-based Blue Bottle has only offered its coffee as whole beans in hopes of preserving its freshness and flavor. Last November, however, the company announced that it had joined forces with Perfect Coffee and founder Neil Day — a tech vet formerly of Apple — and now we finally have the fruits of that acquisition: Blue Bottle’s very first ground coffee offering.
Aptly dubbed Blue Bottle Perfectly Ground Coffee, the release is meant to replicate Blue Bottle’s own pour-over cups at home. Thanks to specially designed airtight envelopes (which prevent the oxidizing that makes coffee taste stale), each single portion coffee lasts for up to six months and tastes like it was just ground right then and there.
Perfectly Ground Coffee launches October 4 in Blue Bottle’s Three Africans, Giant Steps, Bella Donovan, and Decaf Noir roasts while a rotation of single origin beans will be available as well. Packages of five single-serving packets will run you $17.50 USD.
