How to store coffee

This is no secret and probably almost coffee lovers know about it. Still, some people might find this guide useful for them.

First thing you need to know the fact about coffee freshness first.
- Coffee will start to lose its freshness right after the roasting is done.
- Coffee roasted beans will be able to keep its freshness up to 30 days if stored right.
- Ground coffee freshness will only last for 14 days it you stored it right.

Things that will make your coffee lose its freshness quickly are air, heat, light and moisture. So based on this fact you need store your coffee in an airtight container and placed it where there is no heat, moisture and light.

Ceramic container will be a good choice, I myself use it. It's antique (not important) and your coffee will be protected from light but make sure you placed it in a place where ther is no direct sun light (will cause heat). Save your coffee container in cabinet or in the kitchen. NEVER put your coffee in refrigerator, that's a stupid act, really.

Since roasted coffee beans freshness last longer it is best if you store your coffee as roasted beans and grind only when you want to drink coffee.Never, again, NEVER let your roasted coffee beans or ground coffee stay too long in the open. Take the amount you need and close the container right away and put it back inside the cabinet.

This is important that you store your coffee with the right way since coffee freshness affect how your coffee will taste.
