It depends on how good you want your coffee to be. The stuff in bricks is pre-ground of beans that have sat around and outgassed before packaging. Coffee snobs such as myself would consider that stale, and it results in a harsher cup.

Also, we got used to "bad" ways of packaging coffee before all this was worked out. S'only in the last 20 years that they worked out a way to vacuum-pack AND have the little one-way valve AND have it all be cheap enough to work.
