5 TIPS FOR MAXIMIZING COFFEE FRESHNESS

It may seem like coffee is a straightforward beverage. And for the most part, it is. But there are tips and tricks for maximizing coffee freshness that helps guarantee every cup is delicious

1. Keep fresh coffee beans in an airtight container.

Storing coffee in a sealed container is one of the most impactful steps you can take to extend the life of your coffee.

2. Stay away from light.

Coffee prefers darkness. For this reason, we recommend using a canister or container that isn’t transparent. If you are preferential to glass jars, consider keeping it in a pantry or cupboard instead of out in the open.

3. Buy the whole bean.

Because ground coffee loses freshness much faster than whole bean coffee, we recommend buying whole beans every time. We suggest grindingright before you brew to maximize coffee freshness. Coffee grinders are one of the most important tools for making a fantastic cup of coffee. If you’re looking to freshen up your homebrew setup, or are just starting out, we highly recommend investing in a high-quality burr grinder to optimize flavorIf you’re unable to grind at home, we offer all of our coffees in customizable grind size options for your convenience.

4. Buy only when you need to.

We recommend buying your coffee in smaller batches to maintain optimal freshness. If you’re an avid coffee lover, consider signing up for a subscription so your favorite coffee arrives at your door only when you need it!

5. Don't keep coffee in the fridge or freezer!

We have customers who ask us, “How long does coffee last in the fridge?” The answer is not long! In fact, we recommend avoiding your fridge and freezer for coffee storage entirely. That’s because refrigerators are naturally moist locations full of other food and beverages. Roasted coffee is very porous and will absorb the moisture and odors within your fridge and freezer, impacting the integrity of your coffee’s flavor.

Bottom line: Fresh, cool, dark and dry

All of this is to say that you should store your fresh coffee beans in a cool, dark, dry place.

Part of the Rotation

The first time we picked up this flavor, we were hesitant. The beans had a distinct cherry scent to them, and although we've never had a coffee flavor from The Outpost that we just couldn't drink, we've found that we're not big fans of fruity coffees (purely a matter of taste, mind you). However, despite that scent, Black Forest Cake has dominant coconut and chocolate flavors, with the cherry only hinted at on the back of the tongue, and our enjoyment of those two flavors is well-documented.

So, this variety remains on our "long rotation" list - coffees we like well enough to buy once in a while, but not so much that we do so often. It's a good brew to pick up if you feel like you want to branch out to new flavors and already enjoy other chocolate-based and/or coconut-dominant offerings.
