You’ve invested in good beans, dialled in your grind, and perfected your brewing method. But there’s one step many coffee lovers overlook: how you store your coffee. The truth is, even the best beans will lose their flavour quickly if not stored properly. That’s where a coffee canister comes in.
The Key Rules
-
Keep out the air: Oxygen makes beans stale quickly. Always store them in an airtight container.
-
Protect from light & heat: Sunlight and warm kitchen spots break down flavour. A cool, dark cupboard is best.
-
Avoid the fridge/freezer: Temperature changes cause condensation, which harms both whole beans and grounds.
-
Don’t rely on the retail bag: Most coffee bags aren’t designed for long-term storage. They let in air and light.
Best Way to Store Coffee
For maximum freshness, transfer your beans into a proper coffee canister — ideally vacuum-sealed or airtight. This creates the right environment so your beans stay bold and aromatic for longer.
