Coffee in grains & nbsp; & ndash; it is a product that is better to use fresh: freshly fried, freshly ground, freshly boiled.
After roasting, complex biochemical processes begin in coffee beans, which continue for some time without temperature.
The coffee pot formed in the grains is sensitive to excess oxygen and ultraviolet radiation, and since it gives the grains and drink a characteristic coffee taste and aroma, it is very important to store the beans correctly.
To do this, it is recommended to keep them in a dark ventilated room at a stable room temperature and average humidity (30-60%).
Grain coffee storage conditions
If possible, it is better to allocate a separate cabinet for coffee in the kitchen headset, where there will be no products with strong smells & ndash; spices, spices, flavored teas.
For storage, care should be taken in advance and a jar or soft package should be purchased for storage. The basic rules that a coffee container must follow are:
- Be opaque and keep out sunlight;
- Have a tight lid and close tightly; do not let air in;
- Protect coffee beans from moisture and odors.
Such containers may include glass, ceramic or special metal cans with tight-fitting lids - such can be purchased in this section .
Another important condition for preserving the taste of coffee & ndash; it's a constant temperature. The less temperature fluctuations, the better: optimal range & ndash; from + 18 to + 27 degrees. But deviations from this data are also allowed.
Expert Opinion
If the temperature condition is met, then you can store grain coffee even in plastic bags with a zip-clasp, even in decorative beautiful jars. But if temperature changes are observed, then only a container with thick walls will provide stability of the internal environment.
How long does coffee last?
The fresher the coffee, the richer and brighter the bouquet of taste in the finished drink. & nbsp; Green coffee grains & nbsp; are less demanding on storage conditions and can be stored in an optimal environment for several years.
Coffee in grains after roasting & nbsp; it is recommended to use up to 4-6 weeks, maximum 2 months, if you want to enjoy a truly original taste. Everything after is no longer so spectacular and authentic.
Ground coffee & nbsp; is not recommended to be stored at all, you need to grind coffee immediately before brewing the drink.
And, of course, & nbsp; ready-made brewed coffee & nbsp; should also be drunk immediately, without waiting for the drink to cool down. By the way, Italians believe that espresso should be drunk within 15 seconds after cooking, otherwise then it is no longer good.
