The drinking cycle of coffee beans after purchase: How long does it take you to finish it?

Coffee is a must-have drink for many people every morning, and coffee beans are the key raw material for making fragrant and delicious coffee. For those who like to brew their own coffee, how long does it take to fully enjoy a bag of fresh coffee beans after buying it? Below we will explore this issue with the drinking cycle as the center.

First, before we talk about how long it takes to finish a bag of coffee beans, we need to understand the impact of different factors on storage and freshness. The first is the storage method. Proper storage can extend the time that coffee beans remain fresh. Generally, it is recommended to store the whole bag of unopened coffee beans in a dry, cool, dark and well-sealed container. The second is the grinding method. If you choose to buy already ground coffee beans or use a grinder to process it yourself before storing it, it will cause the flavor and aroma to lose faster.

Secondly, after taking the above factors into account, a rough estimate can be made based on the amount of coffee an individual drinks per day. Generally speaking, a 250g bag of coffee beans can brew about 20-25 cups (may vary depending on personal taste and brewing method). If you drink two cups of coffee per day, then this bag of coffee beans can last about 10-12 days. Of course, this is just a rough estimate and also depends on personal requirements for freshness and flavor.

Finally, there are a few tips to increase the shelf life. The first is to avoid opening the bag frequently. Each time you open the bag, air will enter and come into contact with the coffee beans, which will accelerate the oxidation process. The second is to try to buy packaging specifications that are suitable for your drinking cycle. If you find that you often have a lot of unused coffee beans left, you can consider buying smaller packaging specifications to maintain freshness.

In summary, if you store coffee beans correctly, buy them in the right amount, and arrange the drinking cycle according to your personal needs, a bag of coffee beans weighing about 250 grams can usually last for about 10-12 days (two cups a day). Of course, this is just a rough estimate, and everyone's situation may be different. Therefore, when enjoying coffee, please make a reasonable drinking plan based on your preferences and actual situation.
