Storing Coffee
Coffee should be stored correctly to avoid losing flavour. Some tips for storing coffee are outlined below
- Store coffee in a well ventilated room
- Keep coffee in a air tight container. This prevents the oils from evaporating from the beans causing loss of favour and strength
- Keep coffee away from excess moisture
- Do not store coffee near any strong smelling foods. Coffee will absorb their odours
