In this article, Caffè Italia shares some valuable suggestions for the correct preservation of roasted coffee in the home kitchen. 

THE BAG: THE BEST METHOD

Leaving the coffee inside the bag in which it is provided is the best way to store it and get a perfect Italian espresso . But what are the advantages of keeping coffee in its original packaging?

• Gas perspiration : each package is designed to allow the gases (mainly carbon dioxide) that form in the bag to sweat due to the fermentation of coffee. In this way, the coffee does not come into contact with the air, which disperses the aromatic intensity in a few days.
• Anti-aging : the bag prevents light from entering and therefore the rapid aging of the coffee. H2: If you prefer to pour coffee.

IF YOU PREFER TO POUR COFFEE

As already mentioned above, coffee should allow carbon dioxide to sweat and be stored in the dark, away from light. For this reason, if you need to decant coffee , the best solution is to transfer it to a special container that meets the characteristics that promote the correct preservation of coffee .

COFFEE FREEZE: IS IT TRUE OR FALSE?

Have you bought an extra pack of coffee and don't know how to keep it longer? In this case, it is possible to freeze it, leaving the coffee inside the original packaging. In case it is not necessary to keep the coffee for such a long period, it is always better to avoid causing sudden changes in temperature and not to put it in the freezer to prepare an Italian espresso like a skilled person. In fact, staying in the freezer decreases the aromas and damages natural fats.

THE BEST PLACE TO STORE IT

Now let's go to where to store the coffee: what's the best solution? Usually, coffee is placed in the pantry or in a kitchen cabinet, but this is not the best place to prevent the dispersion and deterioration of the coffee scent . The refrigerator, on the other hand, cool and dark, allows coffee beans or powder to keep better, preventing the heat from making them rancid. So you can enjoy a perfect Italian espresso .

 HOW LONG SHOULD YOU DRINK COFFEE FOR?

Ideally, it would be best to consume a packet of coffee within two to three weeks of purchase, as the qualities of roasted coffee begin to deteriorate about two weeks after production. If you leave it open for a few months, you will notice a change in the flavor of the coffee . However, we can assure you that your Italian espresso will not be harmful to your health.
