FAQ About Coffee Brewing
How should I store my coffee beans?
To preserve the freshness and flavor of your coffee beans, it's important to store them properly. Here are some tips for storing coffee beans:
Use airtight containers: Store your coffee beans in an airtight container, such as a canister with a tight-fitting lid, to prevent air from getting in and causing oxidation.
Keep away from light: Coffee beans can be sensitive to light and can be affected by exposure to sunlight or fluorescent light. Store your beans in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard.
Avoid moisture: Moisture can cause coffee beans to deteriorate quickly and can lead to mold growth. Keep your coffee beans in a dry place and avoid storing them in the fridge or freezer, as moisture can condense on the beans when they are removed.
Don't store for too long: Coffee beans are at their best within two weeks of being roasted. After this, they can begin to lose flavor and aroma. Try to buy only the amount of coffee you will use within two weeks to ensure freshness.
