Coffee that tastes old isn't always about age. Sometimes, it's about how you store your precious coffee.
Are you storing your coffee properly?
Whether you grind your beans fresh daily, brew from coffee grounds, or enjoy the speed and convenience of instant coffee, all of these coffee options share similar storage requirements. Here is the most important tip you need to know about storing coffee:
Store coffee away from heat, light, and moisture.
No matter what kind of coffee you enjoy, beans, grounds, and granules need to be stored in containers that keep them away from these big three enemies of coffee. Basically, the container needs to be placed in a container that is not clear, is airtight, and is placed in an area that is cool.
"Cool" does not mean the refrigerator or the freezer. Contrary to what most people think, the refrigerator and freezer is the worst place to store coffee that you use for your daily brew. The fluctuating temperatures between the cold of the refrigerator to the warmth of room temperature will create condensation. That's moisture that you should be keeping away from your coffee.
Instead, store your opaque, airtight container of coffee in a cabinet farthest from the stove and oven. However, there is one reason to store coffee in the freezer: if you're storing it for a long period of time. If you do, it's suggested that you store it in small portions that you can easily consume so you do not subject the coffee to too much moisture from its thaw.
Now that you know how you should store your coffee, here are suggestions about how to do it right so you will always have delicious freshly brewed coffee every morning:
