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 🌻

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.

        And any choice someone makes that is different to yours is a result of their ignorance.

        And it was worth derailing this harmless thread about OP’s hobby tins to explain this to me despite that I personally make the same choice.

        That’s not even an honest equivocation of what I said about coffee, just some um ackshually BS

      Oxidation (and other processes) do affect coffee flavor, and grinding it up increases surface area / exposure to oxygen, speeding that up. Putting it in the fridge seems to also worsen flavor, but the freezer seems to be pretty reliable. Here’s a nice video discussing this by a weird coffee person (James Hoffmann): Should you freeze coffee beans?

      Also, KGLW, nice!

        Woo! I picture James’ disapproving stare at me everytime I let the kettle go to full boil, or accidentally oversteep ಠ_ಠ
