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.

    I think most people here will be grinding their own coffee per batch. It’s typically step 1 or 2 when getting into the hobby, the other being buying better coffee.

    That being said, if you do have pre-ground coffee try to use it as quickly as possible as it will lose flavor much faster than whole beans. Store it in a dark, air-tight container.

    That tin box you have was originally used for loose leaf tea and is widely available if you want more

      Ah this is great. My mom had the same tin box. I’ve seen that thing all my childhood.
