Storing coffee is a topic that is often misunderstood. We will discuss the best ways to store your coffee beans and why the advice changes depending on factors such as the length of time you have stored them. Fresh coffee is essential, especially when we purchase expensive beans. Unroasted coffee beans can be stored in a cool and dry place for months. Roasted beans have a shelf-life of two weeks. Darker roasted beans will expire faster due to their broken cell walls.

Asking for the roasting date is very important when buying from a local roaster. Avoid buying from small roasters who cannot verify the roasting date. Packaging has changed a lot over the years and companies have perfected their packaging recipes. When buying from reputable roasters it is important to check the “best before” date rather than the roast date.

It is important to store coffee in an airtight container. This will prevent oxygen from entering the bag or canister. There are many options available, including vacuum canisters and mason jars. It is fine to store coffee in the refrigerator or freezer. This is a good option for long-term storage. Cold temperatures will immobilize volatile components in the bean,…

Best Coffee Beans for Percolator

When you get your coffee, take a look at the texture and make sure you can still see actual small pieces of the whole bean vs. all tiny indistinguishable bits. The coarser grind won’t fall through the perforations and will keep you from … Read More

Kicking Horse Coffee Review

by

This is a review of Kicking Horse Coffees. We review Cliff Hanger espresso, Kick Ass Dark, and Grizzly Claw for dark roasts and Three Sisters for medium roast. I’ve been brewing their coffee beans for a while now, on and off, along with other two of my favorites. So I thought it was about time I shared my opinion about them in a review. Kicking Horse Coffee History Kicking Horse Coffee is a Canadian company, located in Invermere BC, in the Rocky Mountains. It started out as a home-based business, founded in 1996 by Leo Johnson and Elana Rosenfeld.
