My morning routine went downhill when I tried pre-grinding beans

I thought pre-grinding my beans at night would save time. But my coffee tastes flat and stale now, and I hate it. Never doing that again.

You said your coffee tastes flat and stale now, but is it really that big of a deal? Like, on a busy morning when you're half asleep, are you actually noticing those tiny details? I've used pre-ground stuff for weeks and barely tasted a difference, especially after I added some creamer. Sometimes I wonder if we just convince ourselves it's worse because we read it should be.

My buddy Mark swore he couldn't tell either, until his grinder broke and he had to use month-old grounds. Even with creamer, he said it tasted like wet cardboard and finally got what I meant, @grant540.
