How many serves are in a jar of coffee?
A standard serve of coffee is approximately 1.7g so in a 100g jar there will be approximately 58 serves, in a 250g jar there will be approximately 147 serves and so on! Our 1.7g standard serve of coffee for a cup is based on adding 170ml of water.
Why does it say on your coffee products “best enjoyed within 4-6 weeks of opening”?
Once coffee has been opened and exposed to the environment the quality can slowly deteriorate. Coffee can lose its freshness, and, if coffee absorbs moisture, it can clump together making it undrinkable.
Therefore, once opened, always store coffee in a cool, dry environment and it’s best to use within 4 to 6 weeks so that you get the best tasting cup of coffee!
