If you have ground beans, you should know that it is best not to store ground coffee beans for too long. It is recommended to immediately grind your coffee beans before you brew it. Here are a few tips:

·       Store the coffee beans in a moisture-free location at room temperature. You can store the beans inside high quality re-sealable coffee packaging bags. You can even purchase bags that are vacuum-sealed.

·       Avoid storing coffee grounds for more than one week.

Storing Whole Beans

Just like ground beans, you should not store whole beans for more than a week. If you wish to keep beans longer, you can store it inside a freezer.

·       If you need to store whole beans, you have to keep it inside a deep freezer.

·       Avoid storing your coffee beans inside coffee bags made of Kraft paper because the beans will tend to get stale. If possible, store it inside its original content or choose coffee bags that are re-sealable and made of plastic or foil material. You can also ask your packaging supplier which type of packaging material is best for storing whole beans.

·       Place the coffee bags inside a separate re-sealable freezer bag or airtight container. Doing so will keep out as much oxygen as possible. In addition, it will also keep out light.
