STORING YOUR COFFEE
Beans
By the time your coffee beans are delivered they will have had enough time to de-gas and will be perfect for brewing, which is best done within 4 weeks and kept either in the re-sealable pouch that they are delivered in or an airtight container. Keep the coffee away from strong sunlight, heat and moisture (not in the fridge) and use before 4 months. It is OK to use the beans after longer periods, but like most foodstuffs they will start to lose their ‘edge’.
Ground Coffee
Unlike the beans, ground coffee hasn’t got the same shelf life and needs to be stored much like the beans but enjoyed within two weeks for full flavour. Grinding the beans at home when you need to make your coffee is a far better way to keep the coffee fresher for longer.
