At Baroness, we want each and every cup of our delicious coffee to be at its freshest--whether you purchase it in our store or brew your own at home. That is why we have a few tips for effective whole bean coffee storage that will seal in taste and freshness.
- Always store coffee in an airtight container.
- Coffee stored at room temperature will remain fresh for one week.
- For coffee to remain fresh for up to four weeks, refrigerate it.
- If you purchase coffee for occasions and events in advance, and expect to retain freshness for up to four months, deep freeze it.
