The Fresher, The Better

“First things first, use fresh coffee. As long as you keep it out of sunlight, whole bean coffee can last for up to nine months. But, it definitely begins to lose its shine and most prominent flavors around two weeks after the roast date. Buying in smaller quantities (like a 12oz bag) more frequently ensures you're drinking your coffee at its peak flavors.”
