What is the Shelf Life of Your Coffee?

Fantastic question! The not so good news is that if you are still enjoying any type of pre-ground coffee from the grocery store then it is incredibly stale. You can double or triple that for pre-ground decaf purchased from the grocery store because it is a less popular choice, so it probably has been stocked up for a longer period of time. The best way to go is to buy whole and freshly roasted coffee beans, which you can find on my site, and they are freshly roasted the day that they ship to you. From there, they began to emit gases and release carbon dioxide within the first three days of roasting, and they are best enjoyed with a maximum freshness up to a week to 10 days after roasting. Once it gets to the two week mark, your beans will be completely stale and have lost the majority of their flavor. This is also why it is important to freshly grind all of your coffee beans because after being ground, the beans only have a few hours before they start to go stale. Make sure that you are also storing your freshly roasted beans in an airtight container so they have limited contact with oxygen, and you will be able to enjoy the fresh flavors and tastes for up to two weeks at a time! Delicious.
