After so much dedication from the producer and the roaster to ensure the quality of the coffee, what precautions should you take to maintain all its characteristics as much as possible at home?
The journey from the seed planted on the farm to the drink in your cup is complex and full of pitfalls that can compromise quality. A distraction when fertilizing the coffee plantation can be fatal, or a few extra seconds in the roaster can condemn a batch of coffee. This is not to mention any errors that baristas or the person preparing the coffee might make.
So that you don't risk spoiling your Specialty coffee, here are some practical tips.
Avoid external odors Do you know that old trick of putting an open pot of coffee in the fridge to eliminate undesirable smells?! Well, it's foolproof! This is because coffee is very sensitive and absorbs everything around it. If you don't want your coffee to absorb other smells, our suggestion is that you store the coffee in sealed containers and in dry places – our beans, for example, come with an attached seal on the packaging to close it after opening.
Avoid exposure to light and oxygen Because it is very sensitive, especially after grinding, coffee oxidizes quickly when in contact with light and oxygen. This means it loses aroma and flavor quickly. Therefore, choose hermetically sealed jars or dark packaging in places protected from the sun.
These are the main tips for correctly storing your opened coffee. Combining them is ideal: a hermetically sealed jar stored in a dry, dark, odor-free place at room temperature.
Now that you know, share it with your coffee-loving friends!
