Most fresh coffee beans nowadays are sold in "valved" bags. It is claimed that this provides you with fresher better quality coffee.
This is simply not true.
The valves only help the big coffee roasters who cannot supply really fresh coffee. With a valve the bags will not expand like a balloon, because all the aroma is lost from the bag.
If you want real fresh coffee, buy weekly, only as much as you use in a week. And make sure that the bag is a little "puffed up". That shows that it was fresh packed after roasting.
