Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don't store much at the time, it's just if I grind a little too much and what not. I'm assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a closed container.

Feel free to share pics of your containers ๐ŸŒป

Edit: My grinder doesn't allow for selective ground mode, but a new grinder is defo on the list! Seems like keeping them as beans for as long as possible - is the way.

What's wrong with that? Air-tight in a low-humidity environment?

Ground coffee starts to lose flavor after about 15 minutes.

Everyone here seems to like to grind their beans the day they use them.

Heathens. True coffee experts grind them the day after use.

True coffee experts chew the beans raw and let saliva enzymes digest the starches.
