'Never keep your coffee grounds in the fridge' – a barista's tips for how to store coffee grounds

An example of how to store coffee grounds - pouring coffee into a sealable jar.

If you're striving for perfection, it's important that you know how to store coffee grounds to keep them fresh and delicious. As soon as they're exposed to light, heat, humidity, and oxygen all the aromatic oils will start to break down, meaning your coffee will taste stale and bitter.

There are two key factors to consider if you want to keep enjoying your coffee's flavors at their finest. First, you need one of the best coffee grinders on the market. These won't damage your beans as they grind them up and will likely come with some kind of storage solution. You will also need a good coffee canister. These protect against all the environmental factors that could damage your beans and can keep your grounds fresh for up to a month.
