Hi there would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re using? I’ve loaded
your blog in 3 different web browsers and
I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
Can you recommend a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price?
Thank you, I appreciate it!

As a homeroaster I find many variables with espresso resting and maturing. This becomes more complicated with blends. The roast level, hardness of bean and desired characteristics at peak all factor in. I generally post roasts blend and often with stagger my roast days for the components to align the desired characteristics to develop and peak together.

Thanks Tulip! May I turn your suggestion on its head? Proper storage will slow the staling process rather than keep coffee fresh. It may sound like splitting hairs but, after a coffee has been roasted, each day it becomes less fresh. The best recourse for coffee drinkers who care about freshness, is to buy freshly roasted coffee frequently, about once a week. If you are doing this, the issue of storage becomes less of a factor. That said, keep your coffee in a cool, dry place, in a sealed container, away from heat, light, air, moisture and strong smelling odors.

Ted,

Great info, especially with more and more roasters replacing ‘best by’ dates with ‘roasted on’ dates. You allude to another issue in your intro that would also be very helpful info for average specialty coffee consumers: what is the shelf life of properly packaged roasted coffee in an unopened valve bag?

Asking the question slightly differently, when can a coffee lover notice any difference in freshness from beans just out of the roaster vs. those stored in an unopened valve bag? There appears to be consensus that coffee freshness diminishes quickly once the bag is opened, in a matter of a couple days to a week. But what about before the bag is opened? Presumably more than a week and less than the many months you refer to in your intro.

Last I checked, some outstanding roasters like Terroir, display and roast date and ‘best by’ date on their retail packaging. The ‘best by’ date was threw months out. Seem reasonable? Too much? Not enough?

What if CR did a test? Buy 13 bags of an identical coffee and cup it and the end of each week for 3 months. See how freshness trails off.
