Properly storing coffee is essential to preserve its aroma, flavor, and quality over time. Even the finest artisan coffee can quickly lose its characteristics if it is not stored correctly.
The Enemies of Coffee
Coffee is particularly sensitive to:
- Air
- Light
- Heat
- Humidity
These factors speed up oxidation and cause aromas to fade.
How to Store Whole Bean Coffee
Whole bean coffee is the format that keeps best over time. Our recommendations:
- Use an airtight container
- Store it in a cool, dry place
- Avoid the refrigerator and freezer
How to Store Ground Coffee
Ground coffee is more delicate and should be consumed more quickly:
- Always reseal the package tightly after use
- Avoid exposure to air
- Consume within a few weeks
“Proper storage makes the difference between a good coffee and a great coffee.”
Capsules and Pods: Convenience and Protection
Coffee capsules and pods offer better protection from air and moisture. Even so, it is important to store them away from heat sources and direct light.
