How to store ground coffee to last longer
Ground coffee can actually last quite a long time, but you need to pay attention on how you store it.
- Make sure you store the ground coffee in an airtight container to ensure its freshness. In addition, it's also important to ensure that the container is clean, dry, and free from odors that can affect the coffee aroma.
- Store the ground coffee in a place away from heat or sunlight, especially if you store it in a glass container that is more susceptible to sunlight. In addition to sunlight, make sure to store ground coffee away from stoves and electronic devices that emit other heat.
- Make sure to always close the ground coffee container immediately after use. Besides the container, the outside air can also be one of the causes of a decrease in the quality of ground coffee.
So, it's quite easy to make ground coffee at home, right? By following the proper way to store ground coffee, you can maintain the quality of the coffee for a long time. Enjoy your coffee!
