Before you start preparing your decaf coffee beans, let’s talk about storage. Once you open those vacuum sealed bags, they’re essentially useless. Nothing bad against any of the companies that product them, but you don’t have the machinery in your home to get that same level of seal again. You need to find a storage solution that keeps your beans or grinds nice and fresh. Get a canister with a fairly tight seal, and keep your coffee in a dark, dry, cool place (preferably between 45 F and 68 F). As a heads up, if you have flavored decaf coffee, it won’t affect storage solutions.\r
