Top Tips on storing your coffee beans

Do you know the best way to store your fresh coffee beans? We’ve heard some weird & wonderful ideas over the years.

The best way to keep your coffee fresh is to store it in a light proof and air-proof container in a cool, dry place. 

Have you ever noticed the little circle ‘thingy’ that looks like a plug on the top of our coffee bags? It’s actually a one way air valve. It lets air escape out of the bag & doesn’t let fresh air back in. You can keep and reuse your 250g coffee bags to store your coffee & if your coffee habit has seen you upgrade to the 1kg bags, they aren’t resealable but you can always decant it into some 250g bags with a seal. If you need a spare 250g bag, let us know when you order your next kilo. You may also want to invest in a more permanant storage container.

What temperature do you store your coffee at? Ambient, in your kitchen cupboard is best. Coffee doesn’t like to be stored in the freezer as it’s great at absorbing moisture and the other flavours around it. 

Ready to take it to the next level? If you have a grinder at home or can afford to invest in a small hand grinder then do it. Coffee is best served freshly ground. Did you know we can also grind your coffee freshly for you?
