Coffee is ready to use 12- 24 hours after roasting.Fresh coffee will remain fresh about2- 3 weeks. Ideally coffee should be consumed in 1-2 weeks.
The darker the roast the less caffeine in the cup, as heat destroys caffeine. So if you want that eye bulging caffeine jolt try a medium or between roast.
Store Coffee in an airtight container
at room temperature, never in the
refrigerator or freezer as the change of
temperature degrades flavor.
Squeeze all the air out of your bag, as oxygen degrades coffee flavor. Roasted coffee gives off carbon dioxide in a process called degassing which will displace the oxygen in the bag, so if your bag looks puffy it is the coffee degassing.
