If you want to buy coffee beans, from brand name, packaging to storage, you need to know these five coffee knowledge

In recent years, coffee has gradually entered the lives of Chinese people. More and more people buy some coffee as a daily drink while enjoying tea. People's tastes are constantly changing, and more and more people try to make their own freshly ground coffee, so many people have some coffee beans at home.

Today we will share with you the things you need to know before buying coffee beans, so you won’t make detours.

1. Flavored beans are blended beans

In major stores or online stores, you can see many flavored coffees, such as Blue Mountain flavor, charcoal roasted flavor, etc. This flavored coffee is a blend of coffee beans from different places.

Don’t think that blended beans = inferior beans, because by using the strengths of one coffee to make up for the weaknesses of another coffee, the blended coffee beans can also surprise you.

2. The function of the single-phase exhaust valve is not to smell the fragrance

If you have bought coffee beans, you may have seen a small hole on the coffee package. Seeing this hole, many people can't help but squeeze it to smell the aroma, and then tell people around them how fragrant it is.

Please note that this method is wrong. Such squeezing will cause some gas to enter.

The purpose of setting a single-phase exhaust valve is to use the carbon dioxide released by the coffee beans to squeeze out the air in the bag, and finally achieve the purpose of delaying oxidation. So don't squeeze it manually anymore!

3. Storage of coffee beans

Fresh coffee beans are usually stored at room temperature and should be consumed within one month. If they are ground into powder in advance, they should be consumed within a week.

If you purchase in large quantities, it is recommended that you store the coffee beans in batches in a sealed freezer, which can keep them for up to one year.

Note: This is a freezer, not a fresh-keeping box . In addition, it is not recommended to store deeply roasted or pre-ground coffee beans in the freezer.

4. Ideal storage method

Want to drink the freshest coffee beans? Then you should buy coffee beans frequently and in small quantities. Many coffee beans on the market now have a minimum of 250g of coffee beans, which can usually be consumed within 2 weeks.

And please note that you must choose coffee beans that are roasted after placing the order, so as to ensure that the coffee beans are fresh when they reach you.

5. Packaging of coffee beans

Many people like to pack the coffee beans they buy into their daily containers after purchasing them. Regardless of the reason, this method is not conducive to packaging.

Do not pour dry coffee from one container into another, as this will expose the coffee beans directly to the air, which is not good for coffee storage.

The above are the five points you should know before buying coffee. If you encounter other questions, please leave comments or messages for consultation.
