Keep them airtight
Oxygen is the main enemy of fresh coffee. Keep your beans in their original resealable bag with the air pressed out, or move them to an airtight container.
Cool, dark and dry
Heat and light speed up staling. Store coffee in a cupboard away from the oven, kettle and sunny windows. Avoid clear containers on the bench.
Skip the fridge
Fridges are damp and full of strong smells, and coffee absorbs them. Unless you are freezing a sealed portion for long-term storage, a cupboard is better.
Grind just before you brew
Whole beans stay fresh longer than ground coffee, so grind only what you need for each brew. For the best flavour, use your beans within four to six weeks of the roast date.
