I noticed that whole bean coffee comes packaged a couple of different ways. In one case the brand I've ordered comes in what feels like a slightly vacuum-packed brick (Lavazza) and in the other case the bag is much softer, more loose, and apparently contains more air (Danesi). Is there a reason for the difference? Does the difference impact freshness before the seal is broken and the bag opened for the first time?

mjackson ♦ Both beans should be fresh in the bag. They will only really start to age quickly once you open the bag. The bags have a one way valve to let gasses escape. It could be just a function of how much gas was in the bag at time of packaging. They should both taste great and fresh and there is no need for concern.
