Coffee Making Tips

To preserve maximum flavor, store fresh ground or whole bean coffee in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Long-term storage is best done in the freezer for up to 1 year.

Unopened vacuum-packed cans or packages of beans or ground coffee can be stored in a pantry for up to 1 year.

For the best-tasting coffee, always start with a clean coffee maker that had been washed with soapy hot water, and brew coffee with fresh cold water.
