Will Starbucks grind my whole-bean coffee? Yes! This free service is a great way to brew fresh, flavorful coffee at home without the hassle of grinding your own beans. Here's everything you need to know!
Starbucks will only grind their own brand of unopened, unexpired whole coffee beans purchased at one of their retail locations or at a grocery store. Be sure to ask for the service at the time of purchase!
This option guarantees the freshest cup of coffee — short of grinding the beans yourself!
You'll want to provide the barista with the following info: your equipment or brew method, such as French press, drip coffee maker, coffee press or espresso machine.
Espresso: This fine grind is perfect for espresso machines and Moka pots. Medium: This universal grind is great for drip coffee makers. Coarse: The Coarse grind is an excellent choice for French press and cold brew.
Starbucks coffee grounds have a shelf life of about six months if they are stored properly in an airtight container away from light and heat.
