The coffee beans aromatics are extremely volatile and easily disappear without proper storage. Hence good storage practice is crucial to protect & prolong the deliciousness of coffee! 😲
There are 2 main coffee aromatics killers (both roasted & green beans), Heat & Oxygen.
Like any vegetable, meat & fresh produce, high temperatures will speed up the rotting and shorten the shelf life.
While roasted coffee beans have minimal moisture content, the beans don’t rot easily. But the delicate coffee aromatics will escape from the beans, the coffee will taste dull & boring 😢
If you left coffee beans inside your car under the hot sun, you can say bye-bye to delicious aromatics 👋🏼
Oxygen is the silent killer of coffee beans. Oxidation causes the beautiful aromatics to degrade if it’s exposed for a long period.
Once coffee beans are exposed to too much oxygen & heat, there is no way to reverse the aromatics as it’s vanished into thin air 😩
The easiest & best way to store coffee beans is to keep them with the coffee bag itself 🥰 yup, no need to transfer to any container!

The best place to keep your coffee beans is the kitchen cupboard! Cool dry place & with no direct sunlight for coffee beans to rest well 😎
By properly storing your coffee beans, your coffee will taste good with beautiful aromatics for up to 2 months 🤩 especially for light filter roast single origin coffees!
