What is coffee without the bean? Hot water is what it is. The coffee bean is the fundamental ingredient that needs to be brewed to make coffee. The difference between decent coffee and great coffee is the bean's type of roast and when the bean was ground.

Every time you buy fresh coffee beans and ask the checkout person at the coffee shop to grind your beans you are opening up the "flavor cells" and causing your beans to begin losing their flavor rapidly. The purpose of grinding the beans is to create a larger surface area that will release the flavor and oils to the surrounding hot water. If coffee is prematurely exposed to air, it "breathes", leaving less and less flavor for the brew, when the water finally hits the bean.
