Advice When Buying in Bulk
We're all for buying enough coffee to last for months. Just make sure you're sealing the bag or container each time you open it. Consider placing one or two weeks' worth of coffee in a sealed container that's easily accessible. Keep the rest airtight so you're not constantly exposing your whole supply to air every time you open it up.
The Right Way to Store Coffee
Our best advice to store coffee so it retains its freshness and flavour.
The Freezer
We suggest freezing coffee you won't use for at least two weeks. When you pull out and thaw coffee, we don't recommend re-freezing it. For best results follow these tips:
The Pantry
This is our preferred location for successfully storing coffee. Keep the coffee in an airtight container, or zip-top bag in a dark, cool place like a cabinet or pantry away from the stove and other heat sources.
The Refrigerator
We don't recommend the fridge because of how often the door is opened, exposing coffee to light and temperature fluctuations.
