Why storage is so important
Freshly roasted beans will "de-gas" (expel carbon dioxide) for several weeks after having been roasted - but the majority of the degassing will occur within the first 3 days. As time goes by, it becomes easier for oxygen to enter the bean. As such, it's important to keep your beans out of the elements. Keep freshly roasted coffee in a cool, dark, and oxygen free environment. Our hand pump Vacuvin containers are an excellent and cost-effective solution.
If you are drinking your coffee within a few days and you deem a vacuum solution unnecessary, our paper 1 lb coffee bags are an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic zip lock bags.
What about green coffee bean storage?
If you can't store your green coffee in a nitrogen-sealed environment, don't worry. It will keep just fine in a breathable bag left in a cool, dry place. Not only are paper bags eco-friendly and biodegradable, they are cheap too!
