How Store Coffee Beans?

Keep beans airtight and cool
To preserve your beans' fresh roasted flavor as long as possible, store them in an opaque, air-tight container at room temperature. Coffee beans can be beautiful, but avoid clear canisters which will allow light to compromise the taste of your coffee.

Should I store coffee beans in the fridge?

In order to retain the fresh roast flavor, it's important to keep coffee beans away from heat, light, air, and moisture. It's best not to freeze or refrigerate coffee beans you're going to use in the next few weeks because that can expose them to dampness and smells from other foods.

Is it better to store coffee as beans or ground?

DIY Roasting and Grinding

Green beans store better and last longer than roasted coffee beans; stored properly, they can stay fresh for more than a year. With a little work, you can roast green coffee beans at home and then grind them as needed for the freshest coffee possible.
