Q: How can I tell if my coffee is stale (or "bad")?
A: The easiest way is to use your sense of smell. If the pleasant aroma is gone, the flavor will be mostly lost. The coffee may also lose its deep, dark color and appear a lighter brown. Stale coffee won't harm you, but it won't taste good.
Q: How should I store my coffee to keep it fresh longer?
A: Store both whole beans and ground coffee in an air-tight container and place it in the freezer immediately after use. This keeps out moisture and contaminants.
Q: Should I freeze whole beans or ground coffee?
A: Both whole beans and ground coffee can be stored in the freezer. Whole beans retain their flavor longer than ground coffee because they have less surface area.
Q: Do I need to thaw frozen coffee?
A: No. Coffee does not freeze solid, so it is always ready to use right out of the freezer. To keep it freshest, only grind the whole beans that you plan to use immediately.
