The advantages of coffee beans

Preserve the flavor of coffee completely

After roasting, raw coffee beans begin a series of aroma-releasing reactions, and the best place to preserve these aroma molecules is the holes in the coffee beans. If you want to enjoy the most complete coffee flavor, it is naturally the best way to retain the original shape of coffee beans.

Less susceptible to moisture or deterioration

After the coffee beans are ground into powder, in addition to the rapid loss of flavor, the large area of the powder will also make the coffee more susceptible to moisture or deterioration. Under the same conditions, coffee beans can be preserved nearly twice as long as coffee powder.

It ensures the freshness and original taste of the coffee.

The freshness of coffee beans can be easily identified by their appearance and taste, but it is more difficult to identify the freshness of coffee powder. This is the same as meat, large pieces of high-quality beef can be seen at a glance, but it is difficult to determine the freshness of ground meat poured into sausages.

The advantages of coffee powder

Convenient and time-saving

The biggest advantage of coffee powder is its convenience. Time is money, and you probably won't be able to leave much time to grind beans and make coffee on rush work mornings. If you can ensure the freshness and quality of coffee powder, then buying coffee powder can really allow you to enjoy a good cup of coffee in the least time.

The disadvantages of coffee powder

It is more difficult to retain the flavor of coffee completely.

As mentioned earlier, after the coffee beans are ground into powder, the flavor begins to lose a lot. In order to taste the best flavor of coffee, we recommend that you only buy coffee powder for two weeks at a time, while pursuing convenience, you can also enjoy the good taste of coffee.

More susceptible to moisture and deterioration

In damp Taiwan, it takes a lot of effort to preserve coffee powder. It is best to use sealed cans to isolate moisture and air. Maintain the quality of coffee powder.

It is difficult to ensure the freshness and original taste of the coffee

Some unscrupulous businessmen will mix coffee powder from different places and varieties to mix beads with fish eyes, making it difficult for consumers to confirm the quality of coffee. However, you don't have to worry about buying our coffee powder. Whether it is coffee beans or coffee powder, we ensure the same freshness and quality.

Can coffee beans and coffee powder be refrigerated or frozen in the refrigerator?

Frozen coffee beans and coffee powder will attract moisture, which will freeze on the surface of the beans. at the same time, there are many pores in the roasted coffee beans, and freezing will seal the water, thus ending the natural chemical reaction of the beans. Therefore, the flavor of thawed coffee beans or coffee powder is much better than that at room temperature.

What about refrigeration? And you can't! The circulating moisture in the refrigerator is the biggest natural enemy of coffee beans or powder, and the freezer is full of odors, unless you want to do scientific experiments to see how long it takes to destroy a good bag of coffee beans. By the way, after grinding stale coffee beans into powder, it can be a very effective dehumidifier and deodorant.

The biggest enemies of coffee beans are oxygen, moisture, light and heat.

Coffee beans that have not been opened should be kept in a dry and cool place.

Immediately after opening, it should be put into an opaque and airtight ceramic container. If it has the function of pumping into a vacuum, it is better to put it in a dry and cool place.

Do not use plastic or metal containers to prevent coffee beans or powder from inhaling the smell of plastic or metal.

If the container is transparent, be sure to put it in a storage cabinet where there is no light.

The ground coffee powder can only be preserved for a few days without losing its taste, so it needs to be packed in an opaque and airtight container.

Under proper storage conditions, raw coffee beans can be stored for several years, but once roasted, the life is greatly shortened, and the deeper the baking degree, the easier it is to oxidize. This is a natural phenomenon, no matter how good the packaging and storage conditions are. At best, it can only delay the rate of decay. Therefore, if you really want a good cup of coffee, it is recommended that you buy only the amount you can drink within two weeks to a month from the baking date according to your dosage.

Now that it has been ground into powder, please try not to let the aromatic substances be emitted with carbon dioxide.

Maybe the way is to put it in a sealed jar and seal it.

Then put it in the refrigerator to reduce the exhaust speed at a low temperature.

If you are afraid of the influence of moisture, put several portions into different sealed cans

If you want to drink, take a can out.

Try to drink one can at a time, in and out of the refrigerator, easy to have moisture

Finally, try to finish it in a few days. Don't wait too long.
