Coffee is afraid of moisture, oxygen, light and heat. When stored in the refrigerator, condensate will be produced because of the excessive temperature difference, and it is easy to absorb the miscellaneous smell of the refrigerator and destroy the flavor of the coffee. Therefore, it is recommended that after opening, seal the unfinished coffee beans directly in a coffee bag or sealed can, put them in a cool and dry place at home, and finish them as soon as possible within a month.

Generally speaking, food products will look at the shelf life and taste period. Coffee beans belong to the food category. Some large coffee factories use central roasting to mass-produce coffee beans. The preservation period is usually between 12 and 18 months. But the preservation period and freshness are two different things. Coffee beans actually depend on the taste period. The fresher the coffee beans are, the better the coffee is.

After the coffee beans are unsealed, it is recommended to drink them within a month. And the best way to taste is to "grind as much as you drink", because once the coffee beans are ground into powder, their flavor and taste will decay quickly.
