Lasts longer, leave it out and it tastes like dirt after a while.

You should grind fresh. It's not expensive or difficult and it makes a world of difference

Yea, I always just grind about a dozen and a half beans or so and make 6 oz cup of joe with French press in the morning. A good quality bag of organic beans lasts me a good while and I end up spending about $10 on HQ coffee for an entire month or two.

Can't tell if trolling. I use 50 grams for a 20 oz cup, or 15 grams for 6 oz. 18 beans isn't enough to make the water tea color.

If you’re steeping for several minutes using a french press then yea, it becomes a good strong 6 oz cup of brew.

This. Coffee dies within hours of grinding. Get whole bean coffee, leave it on the counter. Grind before brewing. If you can’t tell the difference between coffee you ground yesterday and today fresh, your coffee is already dead, buy better coffee.

From roasted, coffee needs to rest for 3-10 days, then it’s good from then for a month or two. Ground loses all delicate flavor notes within hours. If you need an inexpensive grinder, look up hario on Amazon. Spend 30-40$. Do not get a whirly blade grinder.

We keep our unopened bags in the freezer and the opened in the fridge.

"opened in the fridge." this is perhaps the worst thing you could do. Moisture is your enemy.

An air tight container, preferably with as much air as possible removed, is how to go. Then there's no difference between storing in the fridge or in a cupboard (ie. out of the light).

I tried storing beans in a vacuum sealed bag resealed after each time and noticed zero difference. Maybe I just go through a bag too quickly.

Fridges remove moisture. It's why you cover things you place into the fridge.

If it is opened in the fridge, it may absorb the odor and taste of other food.

Never encountered that. But certainly plausible.

Self roasting is even better. I use my heat gun.

Paddle roasters aren't expensive either

If I use my automatic burr grinder that shit gets everywhere. It is like stripper glitter and legos had a baby.

Lol how? How are you getting coffee everywhere

[–] • 0 pt

The transfer from the grinder to the basket. Since the grinder also weighs the coffee I can't put the basket, which also doesn't fit under the grinder anyway, directly under where the grounds come out. Then a combination of the fine ground coffee and the aeration of the grounds as they go through the burr grinder means a nonzero amount of grounds turns into an aerosol.

I have the same problem. My gf yells at me about it like it's my fault. Whereas she never uses the grinder and just orders shitty pods.

Also sometimes the little plastic insert under the grounds recepticle sticks to the recepticle when you remove it, falls on the floor, and even more coffee goes everywhere. I had a grind n brew for a while but it sucked.

I don't put sugar in mine, I want to taste it, dark and bitter like my personality.

I automatically suspect any man that puts sugar or milk or anything other than liquor is his coffee of being a smoker of cock.

Why would you ask a forum full of autists and Jews when google will spit up answers by people who actually have some expertise on the matter?

Do NOT listen to the advice you've received here. Some of it is terrible and the problem is that you can't tell which is good and which is bad. Do a little research on your own and shortly you will have a list of best practices for coffee storage.

But one thing that you must do is stop grinding your coffee in advance. Fresh ground is imperative for good coffee. A reasonable quality burr grinder can be had for as little as $40. Do yourself a favor and invest in one.

Then do the research and learn how to store coffee.

Everyone is right, and everyone is wrong at the same time. Can I not conduct independent market research?

[–] • 1 pt

If asking a bunch of yahoos with opinions based on no expertise is your idea of "independent market research" then you are welcome to it. Enjoy your coffee!

Find what you like. Borrowing from the Whiskey Tribe guys, the best coffee is coffee that you like, made the way you like.

I run most of the gambit. My daily driver is a locally roasted light, ground about 30 seconds before I start my pour over. I used to drink an entire pot every day, but when we got sent home for the holocoof, the wife and I were drinking even more, and decided that we would drink less, better coffee. So I went from Sam's Club columbian in drip to the locally roasted pour over. Already had a grinder, so the capital costs were minimal, and we spend about the same amount of coffee (for less overall.)

But there's a place for all of it. I have a Nespresso that I bought on prime day that we use for decaf espresso at night. I would love to have an actual full pressure espresso machine, but I don't love the $500 outlay for one. So we use this. I keep instant in my EDC and my survival bags. If I'm going car camping, I'll bring a camp perc and ground coffee. If I'm backpacking, I'll bring instant.

Figure out where your comfort level is, figure out the best way to meet that level, and stop worrying about it. I like my coffee. I don't turn my nose up at drip or instant.

I like my coffee like my women: 3rd world, and ground up in the freezer.

I disagree. Keep ground coffee in the freezer only for long-term storage. Repeatedly taking them in and out of the cold causes them to go bad.

Keep ground coffee in an air-tight containers in a cool, dark place if you can't grind fresh.

Chicory Coffee blends rock. French Market brand, like $5.00/can. Our home roast is part fresh beans, part FM brand. Super economical, strong and flavorful.

[–] • 1 pt

Chicory makes for great cold brew coffee because of the natural sweetness.

used to keep 'em in the freezer.. I don't any longer because I grind every morning, and the sack I grind from doesn't last long enough to sweat it.

used to keep my smokes in the freezer too, until I needed a new can.

Whole beans get damaged from condensation in the fridge or freezer anyway.

[–] • 1 pt

The good packs are vacuum sealed. There won't be much moisture in them to condense.

[–] • 1 pt

Coffee is never vacuum sealed. It offgasses CO2, so you can't keep a vacuum. (That's why there is a one-way value in the packaging.) It's sealed against oxygen intrusion, but the beans themselves contain the moisture that will condense.

[–] • 1 pt

I had heard the same regarding grounds as well, actually. seemed like over time, the grounds and even tobacco dried out albeit not quit as quickly as staying on the shelf - the tobacco did tend to take on a funky taste, makes me wonder if it was some kind of freezer-burn (if condensation is a factor then freezer burn is most likely)

Buy green beans and roast your own. Then you don't have to worry about storage.
Green coffee lasts indefinitely.
