I work... Or worked... Hm. I work at a cafe where I'm from so I know a thing or two about making good coffee.

[She picks out a bag of beans and looks it over while explaining to Yuuji.]

There's a lot more I could learn about it, but in general, I go with whole beans and grind them myself. There should be an expiration date because if there isn't, well, then you won't know when it'll go bad. Small batches of coffee beans are expensive, but tend to have good flavors because it was roasted with care.

I don't have a coffee pot or machine in the cottage I'm staying in, so i just brew small batches at a time. How do you like your coffee?
