What is the best way to store ground coffee?
Everyone that I know stores their coffee, in the tin it came in, in the refridgerator. Is this the best way for fresher coffee that lasts longer??
Answers:
Yup. In the fridge or in the freezer.
Dear Fellow Coffee Drinker:
I found that the best way, at least for me, to save the smell and flavor of the coffee is to store it in a glass jar with a vacuum seal. This prevents the aroma from being wasted on the air and saves you from needing to purchase more. You can also get a coffee grinder and make your own freshly brewed beverage.
Store your coffee in an airtight, dark container (or one that doesn't let any light in) in a dry, cool area. In the refrigerator isn't necessary.
But, to have fresher coffee, order green coffee beans and roast them yourself at home. The best!! :)
Hi Amanda!! For as long as i can remember my mum ALWAYS kept her coffee in the freezer !! Sealed of course .....it will never get freezer burnt and always tastes like the first day u bought it !! Hope this helps you !! Take care !
You have the right answer- airtight container in the frig.
Yes I keep mine in the refrigerator. Or put it in the Freezer
NEVER put ground coffee in the fridge. The moisture from a refridgerator is very bad for the coffee and ruins it quickly and actually makes it taste like a fridge.
If you bought coffee in bulk, it is possible to store it in a freezer as long as it is unopened. Usually coffee in a freezer stays good for around two weeks.
Once you open coffee, you need to store it in an air-tight container in a cool, dry, and dark place (like a pantry) in order to keep the flavor last much longer. Remember, don't put it back in the freezer!
Just buy smaller amounts and drink more. Then you don't have to worry about it going bad or losing it's flavor. Check out these interesting coffee facts on this site.
air tight container
Buy only enough for 2 weeks at a time. Store in an airtight stainless steel container, in a cool cupboard.
Definitely, do not store in fridge and DO NOT freeze.
