Keep it shelved

If you want to keep your ground coffee and roasted coffee beans, we recommend that you store your coffee in a cool dry place away from direct exposure to light, humidity, and heat.

Store your coffee in airtight containers. This enables you to keep your coffee fresh for long yet maintain its flavors and taste by sealing it off from the external environment. However, if you plan on keeping your coffee in the seller’s package, it should have a zipper that you can open and seal off again after the serving is removed. Or else, you should fold it properly and use a peg to hold the folding in place, to prevent your coffee from getting aerated.

Furthermore, the container should be opaque to keep it from direct exposure to light.

It is also important to note that whereas we strongly advise you against having your coffee exposed to heat, the same applies to keeping it in very cold temperatures like in a refrigerator in your kitchen at home. This is because, during the process and time of use, your coffee will get exposed to temperature fluctuations and thereby become humid which affects your coffee flavor and causes it to go stale as well innately.

Avoid overstocking

the best way to have and enjoy fresh coffee for every serving is largely behavioral and that is not overstocking.

Practice buying sufficient amounts from your favorite local and or international coffee store for a short time like a month’s serving as opposed to buying a lot (several months’ servings). This also takes away the heavy storage burden that many people tend to struggle with and minimizes waste that might result from poor storage. Use your space in your kitchen and pantry for other things and hobbies.

Store it separately

Coffee is a delicate and sacred beverage. Therefore it should be stored and treated with the divine respect it deserves.

You would not want to drink a cup of coffee with some unexpected unnatural flavors stemming from poor storage tendencies.

Without contaminants taking away or adultering its flavor palates and or causing it to go stale, you can be sure to have your coffee remaining fresh for a considerable period (but the above-aforementioned factors should be factored in and observed religiously).
