Proper coffee storage

With a few helpful tips, your coffee beans and ground coffee powder can be stored for longer and retain their coffee aroma more intensely. Storing coffee correctly is not that easy for laypeople, because there are a few other points to consider in addition to the roasting date to keep your coffee as fresh as possible.

Why you should store coffee properly

Simply storing the coffee beans or ground coffee or coffee powder in the coffee packaging without sealing it airtight is not enough. Proper storage of the coffee is essential so that it retains as many aromas as possible until its best-before date. The general rule is: store your coffee beans in a cool, dry place! If you want to enjoy your coffee for longer and minimize the loss of aroma, you can store the beans in the coffee bag, in a container made of porcelain, for example, or in an airtight coffee tin with a vacuum function. Below you will find helpful tips for storing coffee and can discover the range of storage options for your beans at Aromatico.

Coffee storage in the airtight coffee can

Fellow's vacuum canisters seal the coffee beans airtight, which is a huge advantage because oxygen ensures that odors, taste and aroma escape from the beans. In coffee canisters, the beans are protected from oxygen and light, so that the oxidation process progresses more slowly. A coffee can also protects your coffee from moisture. It is therefore worth transferring your coffee into a vacuum canister or generally storing it in an airtight container that ideally also protects it from the effects of light and heat to ensure that the aroma is protected.

Foreign odors are also avoided by storing coffee in such a coffee container, especially compared to storing coffee in the refrigerator, where the smell of other foods can transfer to the coffee and make it inedible.

Dry and protected from light

If you don't have a coffee tin with a vacuum function, you can use a storage container made of odorless porcelain, for example, to store your coffee beans or coffee powder. The coffee beans and ground coffee powder can be kept dry and protected from light. The simplest way to store them, however, is still in the coffee bag itself, which is sealed with a freshness clip as soon as it has been opened.

Our Aromatico tip, If you don't have a coffee can handy: When using the coffee, cut open the bottom of the packaging and then close it with a clip. The aroma valve, which is usually attached to the top of the packaging in the middle, will then remain in use for longer and carbon dioxide can continuously escape from the aroma valve.

Buy a coffee tin and enjoy the taste and smell of your coffee beans for longer thanks to optimal coffee storage. This way you can keep the coffee for months and enjoy the great aromas for a long time.
