Four major ways to preserve coffee beans no longer have to worry about coffee going sour

There are four major factors that affect the freshness of coffee beans, namely, light, oxygen, temperature and humidity. Therefore, all the preservation methods of coffee beans mentioned below revolve around these four aspects.

1. It is not recommended to save in the form of coffee powder.

Many friends, especially those who have just come into contact with the original coffee, buy coffee powder directly, and most of them can't drink it all at once. In fact, this is very fatal to the coffee flavor damage. Not to mention whether the coffee beans are freshly roasted, even after they are freshly baked and ground, due to the substantial increase in its contact with the air and the rapid oxidation, the freshness of the coffee will be lost immediately, and the original mellow flavor of the coffee will gradually disappear. Freshly baked coffee beans are ground into powder, and the flavor changes within two or three days. So, if you are not just for a caffeinated drink, but also for a mellow coffee that represents the true coffee spirit, it is recommended that you do not buy coffee powder directly unless you consume it quickly in a day or two. buy coffee beans and a bean grinder and grind the beans before brewing.

two。 It is not recommended to keep it in the refrigerator

Of course, the low temperature in the refrigerator can slow down the natural deterioration of coffee, and it is a good place to store it, but the air in the refrigerator is cold and dry, so it is easy to evaporate the moisture in the beans, resulting in the loss of fragrance; coupled with the fact that there are too many odors in the refrigerator, it is more appropriate to use vacuum cans to preserve coffee beans. Therefore, in general, it is recommended to store at room temperature (room temperature), not in the refrigerator.

3. It is best to keep it at room temperature

Microbes and oxidation are carried out at an appropriate rate at room temperature, and freshly roasted coffee beans can be kept for two weeks at room temperature. The change in the taste of coffee in the past two weeks is worth pondering. Just baked the first day, its taste is not very mature, you will smell the grass. On the other hand, the charming sweetness of coffee beans is not strong enough, and you will feel that its taste is "stuffy". In the next few days, the smell of grass will slowly decrease, while the sweet smell will slowly rise. The sweet smell reached its peak on about the third day, and then slowly faded. On the whole, the personality of the coffee bean will be obvious and active in the first few days, and its personality will become docile after about a week. Some people insist on tasting the personality of coffee a few days ago, while others like to taste the gentle side of coffee beans at room temperature for a week. If you can finish your coffee beans within two weeks of baking, it is recommended that you keep them at room temperature so that the same bag of beans can feel its variety. Feel its changes every day, not only add some color to life, but also increase experience is very helpful to judge the freshness of coffee beans.
