Modern people are almost inseparable from a cup of coffee every day, and Mantenin is deeply loved by the general public. In addition to the coffee shops in the streets and the coffee of supermarkets, there are still many people who like the way to buy roasted coffee beans to go home and grind and soak themselves. in addition to ensuring the origin and quality of coffee beans, they can also feel the fun of brewing coffee, and save a lot of money in the long run.

However, the roasted coffee beans are quite fragile and easily deteriorated by air, moisture, heat and light, which depletes their flavor, which is tantamount to spending money but not getting the same quality. If you also like to buy coffee beans to go home, you must learn the correct way to preserve coffee beans.

Grind it into powder before brewing

For convenience, some people will first grind the coffee beans into powder for easy access, but as soon as the coffee beans are ground, the aroma will quickly dissipate into the air, greatly reducing the aroma of brewed coffee. The standard storage time of coffee powder is one hour. It is recommended to brew and extract immediately after grinding the powder, otherwise save it in the form of coffee beans. Fresh grinding and soaking is the best way to taste a good cup of coffee.

Use sealed, non-transparent containers

Coffee beans belong to seed crops, which contain a lot of fat, and will gradually begin to decay after contact with air, so they must be filled and preserved in airtight containers to isolate the external air.

In addition to air, coffee beans are also quite afraid of light, so when choosing containers, it is recommended to choose dark or non-transparent containers that can be sealed to preserve coffee beans, which can prevent light from penetrating and causing deterioration. Have you found that when you buy coffee beans outside, there is usually a layer of aluminum inside the bag? It is designed to avoid the penetration of light.

Store in a cool, dry place indoors

The weather in Taiwan is hot and humid, and if the rich water in the air seeps into the coffee beans, it will wash away the fragrant oil from the coffee surface, and even produce a bad smell. Therefore, coffee beans must be kept in a dry and cool place to prevent the beans from absorbing too much moisture or deteriorating due to high temperature.

Some people think that because of the hot weather in Taiwan, they will put coffee beans in the refrigerator to keep them fresh, but this is a big mistake. Coffee beans are easy to absorb smell, all kinds of food flavors in the refrigerator will be attached to the beans, and the final brewed coffee will be overflowing with miscellaneous flavor and losing all its aroma. Don't want to ruin your coffee again? Stop freezing the coffee beans. If you want to extend the shelf life, you can refer to the freezing method in the fourth point.

Extended freezing and fresh-keeping

Generally speaking, the best taste period for coffee beans is two weeks, which can be kept indoors in a cool place. If you have a large number of coffee beans that cannot be consumed in a short period of time, you can also keep them fresh in the freezer: put the coffee beans in small portions into sealable fresh-keeping bags, squeeze out the excess air and put them in the freezer. Even if the cryopreservation can be purchased for an extended period of time, it is still recommended to drink it in a short time in order to enjoy the delicacy of the coffee itself.

If the frozen coffee beans are unsealed immediately after they are taken out, they will condense moisture on the surface because of the temperature difference, which will greatly destroy the quality! So do not unseal the sub-packaged coffee beans after they are taken out, be sure to leave them at room temperature and deice for 2 hours until reduced to room temperature before using.

Remember that the coffee beans that have been taken out of the refrigerator can not be put back to prevent moisture from affecting the flavor in the process of freezing and deicing.
