How to store coffee beans or ground coffee
Store your coffee in an airtight container.
One of the biggest enemies of fresh-tasting coffee is oxygen. Exposure to the air causes coffee beans, and especially ground coffee, to go stale very quickly.
Invest in an hermetically-sealed container made for storing coffee, or at least use a container with a heavy airtight lid. Airtight containers are also ideal for preventing coffee from absorbing neighboring odors and discouraging insect and mold growth.
