How to store

Machare Kilimanjaro is an impressive pure arabica gourmet coffee; strong and bold with a sublime smooth finish. This fair trade, shade-grown coffee tastes as good as it does because it comes from premium bourbon plants cultivated at altitude, in rich volcanic soil, and fed by clear glacial water. The Machare Farm lies 4,500 feet up on the slopes of snow-capped Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, and is owned by the local village cooperatives. Machare has been leased and rehabilitated by people with a passion for fine gourmet coffee and the preservation of Kilimanjaro’s unique environment.

Storing roasted coffee beans properly is important to maintain their freshness and flavour. Here are some tips on how to store roasted coffee beans:

Keep them in an airtight container: Exposure to air is one of the biggest enemies of coffee beans, as it can cause them to go stale quickly. Store your roasted coffee beans in an airtight container to prevent air from getting in.
Store in a cool, dry place: Roasted coffee beans are best stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat. The ideal storage temperature for roasted coffee beans is between 50-70°F (10-21°C).
Avoid storing in the fridge or freezer: While some people may suggest storing coffee beans in the fridge or freezer to prolong their freshness, this is not recommended. The moisture and temperature fluctuations in the fridge or freezer can actually damage the coffee beans and affect their flavour.
Use the beans within 6 months: Roasted coffee beans are best consumed within 2-4 weeks of roasting for optimal flavour, as their flavour and freshness can deteriorate over time. It's best to buy smaller quantities of coffee beans depending on your consumption rate and use them within this timeframe to ensure the best quality and taste.

By following these tips, you can help preserve the freshness and flavour of your roasted coffee beans and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee every time.

if they are not stored properly. When coffee beans are exposed to air, moisture, heat, or light, they can lose their flavour and freshness and become stale. Stale coffee beans can taste flat, sour, or bitter and may not produce the same rich aroma and flavour that fresh coffee beans do.

In summary, while coffee beans do not necessarily "go bad" in the way that some foods do, they can certainly lose their quality over time, affecting the taste and freshness of your coffee.
