Have you been storing coffee beans the right way? Avoid the fridge, and protect your coffee from light, air, and moisture with airtight containers.

Some mornings I want a cup of coffee that tastes like blueberries and a hint of caramel, and some mornings I’m looking for a combination of tropical fruits and honey. And because I’m that guy, I buy the beans for my morning pour-over or cold-brew exclusively from third-wave coffee roasters, as freshly roasted as possible. So imagine my disappointment the last time I spent the night at a new beau’s place and woke up to a mug of well-meaning, but off-tasting coffee.

After roasting, the coffee needs time to degas, otherwise you’ll end up with bad, overly bitter tasting coffee. The darker the roast, the longer it needs to degas. Fortunately, your roaster will only put whole beans out for sale after they’ve had a chance to rest after roasting, and most roasters print the “Roasted on” date on the bags.
