Coffee will lose its freshness due to weather, exposure to air, moisture, heat and light. It is better to buy whole grain coffee and store it at 68 to 72 degrees in a container. Grind the beans just before preparing them, but crush a few days at a time. Do not put coffee in the freezer or refrigerator! Have you ever tried the cheesecake that has been in the fridge for a few days? It has lost much of its flavor and even began to capture a bit of that unmistakable "fridge smell". Brand coffee producers have put "expiration dates" in their coffee bags. If you have an "expiration" date, then you know that you are not receiving freshly roasted coffee. Buying coffee from containers in the grocery store is also not such a good idea: oxygen, light and who knows what else has affected the freshness of these coffee beans. If you keep your coffee in special unidirectional aluminum valve bags, roll the bag well and seal all that oxygen-killing flavor. Freshly roasted coffee, stored, will keep a freshly roasted flavor for about three or four weeks. Calculate its use and buy enough to cover this period of time. When you have less than your last 5-7 day supply, ask for more. Good coffee storage tips for you Being a good barista means that you must learn to store coffee. It is essential to understand the different factors that could cause deterioration or preservation of coffee quality. These are some of the best coffee storage tips for you. · Store the coffee in a clean, dry and airtight container. Place it in a cool and dark place. Heat, light, moisture and oxygen are detrimental to the quality of coffee beans. These elements contribute to the deterioration of the quality of the beans, since they damage the coffee oils that are needed to produce the best coffee mixture. · Do not store coffee in the refrigerator. Coffee can absorb odors from other foods in the refrigerator, which could affect its taste. · Avoid freezing coffee as it could also damage the quality of the beans. We do not recommend this. However, you can do so if you do not use coffee for a prolonged period, such as two weeks or more. Remember not to take them out of the refrigerator since subsequent condensation will affect the coffee beans when they are heated. · Always buy coffee in small quantities. This would ensure that you would control the freshness of your coffee. Opening and closing a bag of coffee will accelerate the oxidation process, which would decrease coffee quality. Do not forget the 4 enemies of coffee, heat, light, humidity and oxygen. These 4 elements are factors that contribute to the deterioration of your coffee, so do not forget them. © 2019 Carl RabideauAuthor's Note
