In Georgia, we've got a growing coffee scene, from Atlanta's independent roasters to the coastal shops in Savannah. Don't let a pretty bag fool you—the roast date is your best friend. For weekend-only brewers, it's even more critical because you're not burning through beans fast. Stick to whole beans, check the date, and you'll have a great cup every time.
