For coffee lovers, pleasure in the form of the first morning is irreplaceable. But coffee in itself is a pretty “creature” and only real masters in the preparation of coffee know how to cope with its storage to maintain their delicious taste.
The Internet AI various training and courses to become a good barista are full of talking about how to prepare coffee properly, how to grind grains and pour it into cups with which temperature to pour it. But few talk about how to store coffee properly. At the same time, the place and way of storage is fundamentally suggested into its taste.
This YouTube video will guide you through instructions on how to store coffee beans:

The owner of the roaster in San Diego, USA, Mrs. Heather Caratrello explains which effects to avoid to make coffee beans well. These include moisture, heat, air itself and light.
Store
Coffee should be kept only in an opaque container with an airtight property. In addition, in a dark place and at the same time where it is dry.
Coffee in the freezer? Don’t be crazy
As for the temperature, then the ideal temperature is room. If someone has read somewhere that it is a nice idea to slip coffee into the fridge or freezer, then quickly reject the idea quickly. The reason is that defrosting can condensate water on grains and thus negatively affects the resulting taste. “Roasted grains are porous, which means that they easily absorb moisture and odors from other freezer foods,” explains Heather Caratrello.
Certainly you have seen coffee beans built on a shelf in a glass transparent vessel in some restaurants. It seems beautiful in aesthetics, but coffee beans will certainly not be happy. If you insist on a transparent glass container for some reason, say goodbye to your sense of aesthetics and hide it at least in the kitchen in the closet or pantry. Of course, it is desirable to close the container well.
How is the ground ground and the one with the whole grains
Storage of whole coffee beans is better. The predetermined will never taste as well as freshly grinding. This also has its justification – coffee beans will oxidize as soon as they get away. The more air (and longer) affects them, the faster their taste typical of coffee disappears.
