How to Store Your Beans for Maximum Freshness
Share
We roast your coffee to order for a reason: freshness matters. But even the best beans can go stale if improperly stored. Whether you’re enjoying a Grand Reserve or House Vintage brew, here’s how to protect your coffee’s flavor.
Whole Bean or Ground—Storage Rules Are the Same
Coffee is fragile. After roasting and grinding, oxygen, moisture, heat, and light degrade its flavor.
Your goal: Keep air, moisture, heat, and light away.
Storage Tips for Maximum Freshness
Use an airtight container.
Avoid leaving coffee in its original bag unless resealable. Airtight, opaque containers are ideal.
Keep coffee in a cool, dark place.
Kitchen cabinets away from heat sources work best. Avoid windowsills or countertops exposed to sunlight.
Avoid refrigeration.
Fridges introduce moisture and odors. Freezing is acceptable for long-term storage but not ideal for daily use.
Order in small quantities.
Both Grand Reserve and House Vintage beans are roasted fresh for every order. Buy only what you'll use in 2-4 weeks for peak flavor.
Grind just before brewing.
If using whole beans, grinding right before brewing preserves maximum flavor.
Bonus Tip for Bean-to-Cup Machine Owners
Let your hopper hold only what you’ll use in a few days. Keep the rest sealed in your storage container until needed.
Protect your coffee investment.
Shop fresh roasted beans, delivered at peak freshness.
