Many people believe that keeping coffee in the freezer helps it stay fresh longer, but the truth is, it can actually do more harm than good. The biggest culprit? Moisture. Worse yet, your coffee can absorb food odors from the freezer or fridge, affecting its taste.
Coffee is highly absorbent, and every time you take it in and out of the freezer, condensation can build up, leading to stale, flavorless brews. Instead of storing your coffee like perishable foods, think of it more like a spice—it needs a cool, dry place to maintain its peak freshness.
For the best-tasting coffee, only buy what you’ll use within 60 days. Over time, coffee beans naturally lose their rich flavor and aromas, so keeping your supply fresh is key.
Pre-ground coffee begins to dry out and lose its flavor within 3-4 weeks. Store your beans or grounds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to protect them from exposure to air, which speeds up oxidation and depletes flavor.
Rudy Coffee is packed in a resealable bag with a one-way valve. This design helps release the natural gases from freshly roasted beans while preventing oxygen from getting in. Always ensure the bag or container is tightly sealed—coffee easily absorbs moisture and odors from its surroundings, which can alter its taste.
☕ Rudy Coffee Pro Tip: Grind your coffee right before brewing for the freshest, most flavorful cup. Not only will you enjoy the rich aroma, but you’ll also get the best possible extraction, ensuring every sip is smooth and satisfying.
