Getting "roasted recently coffee" sounds like a problem, how do you make sure of it? Also, have you try nespresso(machines and coffee)? I find their coffee really good and can't stand anything else, easy to make and not expensive.

All quality roasters will put a roast date on the bag. Call them ahead of time and ask when they stock each roast, and just go at that time to get it essentially straight from the roaster.
Alternative answer (to all the existing 'ask them'/'it's on the bag'):
If it's from the supermarket, it's old.
If it's from somewhere more 'hipster', it's not.
(If it gives you a roasting date at all it's a good sign!)
You can ask what day they roasted it? Sometimes they write that on the bag. If it's a place with good turnover it's probably recent.
Buy direct from the roaster, they generally ship it the day or two after it’s been roasted.

At a specialty roaster, the date is printed on the bags of coffee. Or they will tell you.
