What makes coffee beans go bad?

Direct sunlight

Moisture content

oxygen

Hot

Sunshine. Moisture. oxygen. Heat. Without these four things, the human body cannot survive. Although we often praise these three elements, they are also the main killer of our favorite drink-coffee!

How do sunlight, water, oxygen and calories have a negative effect on roasted coffee beans? Roasterie tells you here! Listen, coffee connoisseurs. If you want to store your roasted coffee in a safe place, make sure you don't let these four coffee killers in (and be careful, you never know when they will attack!)

1. Direct sunlight

After roasting, the direct effect of light on coffee is the most significant. Direct light will change the taste of roasted coffee beans. Store coffee beans in dark places or in opaque containers (not transparent containers!) It's very important so that the coffee doesn't go bad.

two。 Moisture content

Humidity plays an important role in the overall state of roasted coffee beans. When baked beans are exposed to damp conditions, they go bad almost immediately. That's why it's important to store roasted coffee beans in dry, dark places. Also, remember, it may not be a good idea to refrigerate or freeze coffee beans! Drastic changes in temperature will cause baked beans to condense. This kind of exposure to wet environment will make the beans go bad!

3. oxygen

Perhaps the biggest coffee killer is oxygen. Baked beans will spoil in a few days when exposed to air. If you like to buy coffee beans in large quantities, be sure to store them in a sealed, cool, dark place. When roasted coffee beans oxidize, our favorite coffee becomes stale.

4. Hot

The fourth biggest killer of coffee is calories, believe it or not. Roasted coffee beans should stay away from the heat until they are ground and ready to cook. Exposure to high temperatures before brewing can make coffee beans lose their taste. Coffee is just another food that needs to be refrigerated to keep it fresh!

The best way to store coffee beans: in a sealed container! In Roasterie here, we provide our customers with one of the best coffee bean cans-our Roasterie AirScape container! This dining room-grade 18 ram 8 stainless steel jar can hold 64 ounces of coffee beans. It even has a patented valve to force air discharge. This is fresh coffee!

How do we store our coffee in the bakery? Obviously, we will try our best to keep coffee beans away from the four killers of coffee, but we won't store them for too long! Since we pride ourselves on serving only the best and freshest coffee beans, we store our green beans (pre-baked) in an attachment in Oakland, California. The humidity and temperature in Oakland provide the perfect environment for storing the best coffee beans in the world. But we would never bake coffee in California! In order to provide the freshest coffee beans in the world, we will not bake them until they arrive at our Kansas City coffee factory and are ready to buy them.
