How to Store Coffee Beans So They Stay Fresh

Roasted coffee beans lose aroma quickly when exposed to air, heat, light, and moisture.

Key Points

• Keep them in an opaque airtight container in a cool place, away from the stove and windows.
• Buy an amount you will finish within two to four weeks of the roast date.
• Avoid the refrigerator because moisture and the smell of other food cling to the beans easily.
• Grind only as much as you will brew, because ground coffee loses aroma much faster than whole beans.

Storing coffee properly protects the sweetness and floral aroma that were curated from the farm.
