Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don’t store much at the time, it’s just if I grind a little too much and what not. I’m assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a closed container.
Feel free to share pics of your containers 🌻
Edit: My grinder doesn’t allow for selective ground mode, but a new grinder is defo on the list! Seems like keeping them as beans for as long as possible - is the way.
Oxidation (and other processes) do affect coffee flavor, and grinding it up increases surface area / exposure to oxygen, speeding that up. Putting it in the fridge seems to also worsen flavor, but the freezer seems to be pretty reliable. Here’s a nice video discussing this by a weird coffee person (James Hoffmann): Should you freeze coffee beans?
Also, KGLW, nice!
Woo! I picture James’ disapproving stare at me everytime I let the kettle go to full boil, or accidentally oversteep ಠ_ಠ
