How to store coffee beans.
A cup of expertly brewed coffee can deliver exquisite aromatic notes, deep complex flavours and, of course, a much-needed caffeine boost, all in one. That is why it’s important to store your favourite roast properly. Here is everything you need to know to help ensure you get the perfect cup every time.
Keeping your coffee beans at their best.
From the moment a coffee bean is roasted it becomes sensitive and can lose its flavours and aroma. To ensure coffee is always at its best, exposure to the elementsair, moisture and heat should be minimised. Storing unground coffee beans inside and in an airtight container is optimal.
Refrigerating coffee beans, yes or no?
To freeze or not to freeze: that is the question. The answer is, ideally, never. Although freezing can prevent oxidation making it a long-term solution, coffee beans can absorb unwanted moisture, odours and tastes from your fridge or freezer. Rather, store it in a cool dark place like a drawer or pantry.
How long can you store your favourite roast?
Roasted bean blends, pre-ground single origin, and home-roasted green beans all have different shelf lives. How long you can store it depends on how you take it.
