The right coffee storage: how to keep your coffee fresh for longer

Spring is the ideal time to thoroughly clean and maintain your Jura coffee machine. A well-maintained machine not only ensures better coffee, but also extends the life of your coffee machine. In this guide, we will show you how to clean and maintain your Jura machine step by step.

1. seal airtight
Coffee should always be stored in an airtight container. Oxygen can quickly destroy the flavours of the coffee and make it stale. The best containers are made of ceramic, stainless steel or glass with a good seal.

2. cool, but not in the refrigerator
Coffee should be stored in a cool, dry and dark place. However, the refrigerator is not ideal, as the moisture and odours from other foods can affect the coffee. A kitchen cupboard away from heat sources is ideal.

3. avoid direct sunlight
Light can have a negative effect on the quality of coffee. Therefore, store your coffee in an opaque container or in a place that is protected from direct sunlight.

4. favour coffee beans
If possible, buy whole coffee beans and grind them just before use. Whole beans retain their flavour longer than ground coffee. A high-quality coffee grinder is therefore a sensible investment for coffee lovers.

5. buy small quantities
Coffee loses its flavour over time, even when stored optimally. It is therefore better to buy smaller quantities that you can consume within two to four weeks. This will ensure that your coffee is always fresh.

6. do not add flavouring agents
Avoid adding flavourings or additives to your coffee while it is being stored. These can change the original flavours of the coffee and even reduce its shelf life.

7. use vacuum packaging
If you buy coffee in large quantities, you should consider storing it in vacuum-sealed bags. This packaging removes the air and helps to preserve the freshness of the coffee.

With these tips, you can ensure that your coffee stays fresh for longer and you can enjoy a perfect cup every time. Good storage is the key to optimal coffee enjoyment!
