In our house, we generally go for variety in our coffee beans. That means when we are finishing one bag, we’re going to open a different bag with totally different beans inside.
What do you do if there aren’t enough old beans to make a full serving of coffee?
It may be heresey, but I mix the final old beans with a few beans from the new bag and call it my “bonus blend”.
I stop overthinking my coffee and make a cup with mixed grounds.
Worst case it sucks and you just pour it out.
Never had that happen. Every time good beans of the nearly finished bag mixed with good beans of a new bag results in a surprisingly excellent cup.
Yeah, it’s definitely ok to pour out your coffee if it doesn’t taste good, it’s also fine to drink a mediocre cup.
