Coffee Storage

Coffee Storage

Roasted coffee needs to be stored correctly to maximise freshness and shelf life. Whether you're a cafe owner or a home brewer, how you store your beans matters.

How to store coffee beans

Keep your coffee in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed airtight container. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture — both degrade flavour fast. The ideal storage temperature is around 18–21°C.

The one-way valve on our packaging helps maximise freshness by letting CO2 escape without letting air in. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container or reseal the bag tightly.

Coffee storage tips for cafes

Only fill your grinder hopper with enough coffee to get through the service period — at most, one day's trade. Ground coffee should be used within the hour for best results.

Run down the amount of ground coffee in the doser toward close of business. Never leave ground coffee sitting overnight.

Want it fresh without thinking about it? Set up a coffee subscription, or shop freshly roasted beans. More on this: why fresh roasted coffee tastes better.
