## Questions & Answers

**Q: how fresh is this coffee?**
A: Not fresh. I received a bag on January 21 that was roasted on Nov. 24 and expires on February 22 - so 2 months old, which I would never buy in the store. It tastes stale and the shots are very quick and blond. I love this coffee when its fresh, but this will go in the garbage. What a waste.

**Q: How many ounces?  I can't believe you didn't put the weight in the product description.**
A: Its a 10 oz bag, or at least that's what I received when I purchased it. It's really fantastic coffee as long as you treat it right (french press, drip, or espresso machine) Highly recommend!

**Q: My bag says "Roasted 3/11" -  I hope that doesn't mean March 2011?? Any idea how they date their bags?**
A: I have been brewing Intelligentsia Black Cat for years and it never has a roasted date or sell by date on the bag that I can remember. But I guarantee you that it was fresh you are probably doing something wrong. Six years old really?!!!

**Q: How fresh have your beans been on average?**
A: The one time I ordered it from amazon it was months old.  The roast date is printed on the bag.  I now only order directly from intelligentsia because they roast the coffee beans to order.  Costs more but tastes better.  If you guaranteed the roast date, I would consider buying thru you again.
