Buying coffee beans online: what to check

By FREDDO ·

The best way to buy whole coffee beans online is directly from the brand or from a shop that restocks often, uses bags with an aroma valve and states shipping costs openly. FREDDO delivers to Greece and Cyprus via freddokafes.gr and to Germany and Austria via freddokaffee.de; shipping is free from two bags.

Had one on holiday in Greece or Cyprus? Make it at home: FREDDO Espresso, 1 kg for €29, €0.52 per freddo.

What to check when buying online

  • Whole beans instead of ground coffee: the aroma lasts longer and you grind for your espresso machine, bean-to-cup machine or moka pot.
  • A bag with an aroma valve that reseals.
  • Compare the price per kilo, not per pack: 250 g at €8 is €32 per kilo.
  • Check shipping costs to your country first, especially to Cyprus.
  • Roast and Arabica share: medium-dark to dark for freddo espresso.
  • Payment by card or a well-known payment service, with a clear right of withdrawal.

How much coffee you need

A double espresso or a freddo takes 18 g of beans, so a 1 kg bag makes about 55 cups. At one freddo a day, a bag lasts almost eight weeks. If you drink coffee every day, a subscription saves you reordering.
