How to Keep Your Coffee Fresh at Home

How to Keep Your Coffee Fresh at Home

Have you ever opened a bag of coffee that smelled incredible one week, but seemed to lose its magic the next?

The good news is that keeping your coffee fresh doesn't require fancy equipment, just a few simple habits.

Keep Air Out

Oxygen is one of the biggest reasons coffee loses its flavor over time. Once you open a bag, be sure to seal it tightly after every use. Luckily our TLC bags are resealable!

Store It Somewhere Cool & Dry

Heat, moisture, and sunlight all speed up the aging process. Instead of leaving your coffee on the counter next to your coffee maker or stove, store it in a pantry or cabinet away from heat and direct light.

Skip the Refrigerator

It may seem like the refrigerator would keep coffee fresh longer, but it actually does the opposite. Coffee easily absorbs moisture and odors, meaning your beans can end up tasting more like yesterday's leftovers than your favorite roast.

Buy it Fresh, Drink it Fresh

One of the easiest ways to enjoy better coffee is to purchase smaller amounts more often. Freshly roasted coffee delivers brighter flavors and a fuller aroma compared to a coffee that's been sitting on a shelf for months.

That's why at TLC Roasters, every batch is roasted in small quantities with freshness in mind. Our subscription is a great option if you want coffee delivered to you on a regular basis. Organic, fresh coffee whenever you want it.
