Coffee Wholesale USA sells many brands of gourmet coffees, including Starbucks, Seattle's Best, Java One, Folgers, Timothy's and Yuban.  In addition to these national brand coffees, there's our excellent All Day Gourmet brand – an amazing value gourmet brand that's available nowhere else. Choose from whole bean, ground, pillow pack and filter pack coffees, and everything from single-origin, varietal, specialty coffees to great-tasting blends and flavored coffees.  What are these packaging options you ask?  Read on below to learn a little more about each one.

K-Cup coffee and Coffee Pods:  These products are designed to make a single perfect cup of coffee – quick, easy, and just-right every time. Perfect for the busy office or on the go individual who doesnt have time to make a full pot of coffee.  Pods do not come in plastic containers – they are simply ground coffee contained in a sealed filter paper pod (think miniature filter packs). As such, some consider pods less wasteful and more "green" than K-Cups. However, K-Cups tend to brew a more consistent and, some say, more flavorful cup of coffee.

Pillow Pack Coffee and Filter Pack Coffee:  As the name suggests, a Pillow Pack is a packet – shaped like a pillow – and filled with fresh ground coffee.  A great example are the Copper Moon Pillow Pack Coffees.  Pillow packs offer several advantages over traditional canned or bulk coffee.  First, pillow packs are pre-measured so every pot is tastes the same. This is a real benefit for use in an office, church, convienence store, or anywhere you have different people making coffee.  Second, when packaged in a pillow pack, your coffee stays fresher longer since each pack is individually sealed and nitrogen flushed.  For the ultimate in convenience, try Filter Packs. Filter packs provide one additional advantage over the pillow pack, in that the coffee is actually self-contained inside filter...so all you have to do is open the outer package, and put the entire filter pack in the brew basket – no additional paper filters are required with filter pack coffee.  When the brew is done, simply dump the brew basket, and cleanup is done!  Check out one of our Starbucks Filter packs for an example.

Whole Bean Coffee and Bulk Ground Coffee:  There are a couple of important notes here...  First, while it is a good idea to freeze ground coffee after opening the bag, to keep it fresher longer, you should never freeze whole bean gourmet coffee, as that will actually freeze the oils in the bean and break them down, making your brew taste flat or bitter.  Instead, store your beans at room temperature in an air-tight container in a dark, dry place (a pantry or cabinet should do nicely for your gourmet beans!).  Second, whole bean coffee (especially our roasted-fresh All Day Gourmet specialty coffees) is a great choice for coffee lovers who really appreciate that fresh-ground taste. If stored properly, you can buy month's supply of beans at a time – and still get the benefit of drinking the freshest-tasting coffee around. For home use, simply use your coffee grinder (Example: Krups coffee grinders) right before you brew each pot.  For higher volume needs or a commercial environment, buying in bulk and using a commercial portion control grinder is a very effective, popular way of brewing and serving the freshest java around.

Liquid Coffee and Instant Coffee:  Both liquid concentrates and freeze-dried coffees have been around a long time, but only recently have modern processes been around to make them actually taste good. Both of these coffee formats serve a different purpose.  Liquid coffee is ideal for serving a whole lot of coffee to the masses in a quick, efficient, waste-free manner. Typically, liquid coffee is used in a special liquid coffee dispenser which mixes hot water with the precise amount of concentrate to yield a very consistent, cost effective, great tasting coffee. If you've had coffee at a convention hall, hospital, or hotel in the last 3 years, chances are you've enjoyed a cup of liquid coffee without even realizing it.  Instant coffee, of course, is even more low-tech. Simply dissolve instant coffee in near-boiling water and you've got coffee...instantly. Instant coffee couldn't be easier, and it's great for making a cup when all you have is hot water. Camping, backpacking, travelling... they sky is the limit. Whether you want 1 cup or 15 gallons, instant coffee could be your solution.
