How to properly store coffee at home

Coffee is a delicate and "living" product that quickly loses its best qualities. To enjoy the perfect taste and aroma, it is important to know how to store it properly at home.

One common myth is the belief that coffee must be stored in the refrigerator. In fact, this is not recommended, as the fridge has high humidity that can damage the coffee beans. Coffee also absorbs external odors, which can spoil its taste.

Consumption Period

Coffee tastes best within three months from the date of roasting. Long-term storage degrades its aromatic and flavor properties. Therefore, try to buy small batches that you can consume within this period.

Coffee should be ground right before brewing, as ground coffee quickly loses its aroma.

Where to Store Coffee?

The ideal place to store coffee is a dark and dry space. Avoid sunlight, as it destroys the aromatic oils in the beans, as well as high humidity.

It is recommended to designate a separate shelf for coffee. This will protect it from contact with products that have strong odors, such as spices, as coffee easily absorbs smells.

What to Store Coffee In?

The best packaging for storing coffee is the one it arrived in. The modern bags from 25 Coffee Roasters with a ziplock preserve the coffee's aromatic and flavor properties, ensuring airtightness and preventing oxygen penetration. Therefore, there is no need to transfer coffee into other containers.

By following these simple rules, you can enjoy the rich taste and aroma of coffee that will delight you every time! :)
