Exactly How to Keep Your Coffee Fresh

December 10th, 2009 by keen bean

After much research into the proper way to store ground coffee, I have found a source that I am comfortable relying upon. The National Coffee Association of the United Sates of America, or the NCAUSA, published an article precisely on this topic and they are my source of choice regarding this issue of interest.

The straightforward answer to housing my beloved organic coffee is to keep it airtight and cool. Things such as air, heat, moisture, and even light, can impact the grounds and cause them to go stale. Therefore, use an airtight container and then place that in a dark and cool area. Remember once you open a container you should plan to use it within three to four weeks.
