I'm not so much of a snob that I roast my own beans, but I do like fresh ground beans for my coffee. The biggest change in coffee beans is oxidization of the oils. Oxygen reacts with the oil in the beans much like it reacts to the gasoline in your car engine. It makes it a different thing. The more surface area the oxygen has access to, the faster it changes the oil profile. So ground beans, with more surface area, change differently than whole beans. It's just a matter of whether you like the effect or not. Month-old ground beans can produce the flavor you like. You should go with whatever produces the flavor you like. And you should get what you like. You deserve it - I assume.
