Frequently asked questions about coffee preparation

What's the best way to store coffee? How long is the coffee fresh?

After roasting, coffee will gradually lose its flavor as it is exposed to air and moisture for more time. It is recommended that you keep the coffee in a sealed container and place it in a cool place until you want to make the coffee before grinding the beans. Coffee stored in FlavorLock ™bags can be kept fresh for several months.

What is a FlavorLock ™bag?

Starbucks' exclusive FlavorLock ™technology uses a special one-way piston to release carbon dioxide from freshly roasted coffee beans from the sealed bag and prevent the oxygen that causes the coffee flavor to disappear into the bag. All Starbucks coffee beans are packed in airtight FlavorLock ™bags within two hours of baking to keep them fresh before unpacking.'
