Coffee Making Tips
For better-tasting fresh-brewed coffee:
* To preserve maximum flavor, store fresh ground or whole bean coffee in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. * Long-term storage is best done in the freezer for up to one year. * Unopened vacuum-packed cans or packages of beans or ground coffee can be stored in the pantry for up to one year. * For the best-tasting coffee, always start with a clean coffee maker that has been washed with soapy hot water, and brew coffee with fresh cold water.
