At Intuit Coffee, we believe that every cup should reflect the care that went into growing, roasting, and brewing it. That care begins with how you store your beans at home. To get the most flavor and freshness from your coffee, here are a few essentials to keep in mind:
Choose Whole Beans
Whenever possible, opt for whole beans. Grinding them fresh preserves their oils and aroma—giving you a cup that’s more vibrant and layered. Pre-ground coffee, while convenient, loses its freshness much faster because of its increased exposure to air.
Grind Only What You Need
Coffee begins to oxidize quickly after grinding. That’s why we recommend grinding only the amount you need for each brew. It may feel like a small extra step, but it makes a big difference in taste.
Store in Airtight Containers
Oxygen is coffee’s quiet enemy. To protect your beans, keep them in a tightly sealed container. Airtight storage slows down oxidation and helps preserve the distinct notes of your coffee—be it fruity, nutty, or chocolatey.
Keep Them Cool and in the Dark
Sunlight and heat can damage the delicate compounds in roasted coffee. Instead, store your beans in a cool, dry place—like a cupboard or pantry—away from direct light and humidity.
