How to Store Coffee Beans for Maximum Flavor

Storing coffee, best tips and tricks for longevity and freshness

Storing coffee properly ensures freshness, aroma, and flavor. At Viridian Coffee in Duncan, OK, we want every cup you brew to taste its best.

1. Keep Beans Airtight

Oxygen quickly degrades flavor. Store coffee in an airtight container to lock in freshness.

2. Avoid Light Exposure

Light damages coffee beans. Keep them in a dark cabinet or opaque container.

3. Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Heat and moisture accelerate staling. Avoid storing beans near ovens, windows, or sinks.

4. Grind Just Before Brewing

Ground coffee loses flavor faster than whole beans. For maximum taste, grind beans right before brewing.

5. Buy in Small Batches

Instead of buying months’ worth of coffee at once, purchase smaller amounts to ensure it’s always fresh.

Follow these steps and enjoy a rich, flavorful cup every time. Visit Viridian Coffee in Duncan, OK for freshly roasted beans and expert storage tips.
