Coffee loses about half of its flavor in the first 10 days after roasting and even more after grinding. After coffee is roasted, should be degassed breathing (also known as aging) with an initial duration of 8 hours in an open container. This allows the extremely hot gases (which smell much coffee) to dissipate. These heavy gases actually cause the coffee to mainstream tastes. It is not drinking bad at the moment, but simply tastes better in a few days. Coffee should sit in a semi-closed container of coffee in a cool, dry and dark for another 3-5 days to degas. freshly roasted is ready to be prepared from day 5 after roasting.

During the following 10 days after the period of gassing, the coffee is at its peak of freshness, with each note matures and flavor that comes in its aroma, body and acidity. In 15-20 days old, you should really start to finish brewing and is now starting to taste stale and tasteless in about 5 days. At age 20-25 days time to prepare or learn more!

Air (Oxygen), light, humidity and temperature (not ambient temperature) are guilty of killing your coffee fresh, roasted or prepared. If you follow these tips that will extend the life of your specialty coffee, and no doubt enjoy a fresher, more complete and flavored a superior cup of coffee:

• Whole grains will last longer than ground coffee so do not grind the beans until they are ready to brew.
• Remove the beans from the original bag of coffee came in, and put in an airtight container, such as Tupperware or Ware Alegre. A Ziplock-type plastic bag works (but not recommended) if the containers are not available. The more opaque the container, the better to keep out harmful light (read more about light below). Sea Be sure to wipe clean container with a damp cloth (no soap or chemicals) to reuse.
• whole beans Contrary to popular belief should never be stored in the freezer or refrigerator. Not even a freezer freezer. Store in an airtight container in a dry, cool dark place like a cupboard or pantry. Freezing can cause frostbite, condensation (moisture) and freezing coffees taste the natural oils to crack and / or dissipate. These oils are where all the flavor is. Freezer storage is based condensation and each time the making coffee in the freezer condensation is better able to implement due to temperature change. Excess moisture will cause the beans to stale faster and shorten the life of your coffee as a cool, dry and dark place for storage is recommended.
• Refrigerators port many odors. The coffee is very porous and act like a sponge odors either ground or whole bean. The coffee in your refrigerator will act the same as baking soda, if left open or a wrong container sealed. In a closed container, even if sealed properly, the beans will be based condensation as in the freezer. Once again, the moisture will your beans to stale faster.
• extreme light (such as maintenance of coffee in a glass jar in the sink) can cause the deterioration of the beans, allowing your last cup of coffee to taste bland or rancid. As described above, it is suggested to keep the freshly roasted coffee in an opaque, airtight container at room temperature. A cool, dry and dark place, like a closet or pantry works the best.
• Heat degree above room temperature also hurt his coffee because the heat really promote further degassing and only shorten the life of the grains. Remember that cabinets are best for storage, but none above or near an oven or stove.
• Before grinding, analyze their beans. Use approximately .75 oz (by weight) of coffee per 8 ounces of cold water. You can + / – coffee to taste. clean, clean tap water or spring water quality is recommended. Do not use mineral water, distilled water or tap water with any kind of smell. Will bad coffee taste.
• The golden rule is just to grind enough coffee for immediate use, however, if the ground coffee is stored correctly (see above, the same store as in grain) should remain fresh for up to three days. Any long or improperly stored and rancid will. Stale coffee does horrible coffee!
• After brewing, drinking his coffee in a period of about half an hour. Do not store in a hot plate or burner to keep "hot." This just goes to cooking gives it that their coffee strong and bitter taste. If you make the coffee too, at least, turn off the hot plate of the machine. At present, although not recommended, reheat the coffee in the microwave would be better to let it cook on a hot plate. However, as the coffee cools stale air so do not wait too long! If you put the coffee in a carafe or thermos, it will have a temperature of about 2-3 hours depending on the amount consumed or use. You should drink coffee from one of the holders of such containers within this time frame because despite maintains coffee temperature for a few hours cooking coffee can still give you that strange and bitter taste.

You can buy a cheap coffee grinder at Target or Wal-Mart for about $ 20. It's a good idea to buy only what the purpose of being able to grind and brew in a reasonable amount of time, 3-4 weeks at most.
