Pre-ground? Do you even know what your are talking about? This coffee is vacuum packed.\r\n\r\nAll of the beans we use for S&W are top quality Premium Grade or higher. Colombian happens to be our best selling S&W product. Don't hate, learn to appreciate a little lesson in coffee beans. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, you may want to refrain from negative comments; it show a lack of intelligence on your part and gives a negative perception of you.\r\n\r\nJoe 8)
