Many friends think that freshly ground coffee represents freshness, but it is not. In fact, in order to drink the aroma of coffee, not only must it be freshly ground, but also the roasting time of the coffee beans must be certain. Front Street, whether it is a store or an online Taobao store, provides freshly roasted coffee beans. Unless the customer requests grinding and delivery, we will grind it according to the customer's usage method (Italian style or manual brewing).
The reason why Front Street places so much emphasis on fresh roasting is because as time goes by, the coffee will basically lose its aroma after it has been roasted for more than 50 days. Some people may ask, is the fresher the coffee, the better? No, in the first two days after it is roasted, its aroma is not very stable, and you cannot taste the flavor of its production area. Therefore, Front Street will remind customers that it usually needs to be brewed for three or four days before brewing.
In addition to the small quantity of the sample delivered by Front Street, which is enough for one brewing session, the minimum gram size of other packages is also 100g, which is equivalent to brewing about 7 times for one person. What about the coffee beans after unpacking them?save coffeeAs for the freshness, Front Street will give you some tips.
How to store coffee beans to maintain their freshness?
Front Street must first tell you some of the most feared aspects of coffee bean storage. As long as you try to overcome them and avoid them, coffee beans can still maintain sufficient flavor within a certain period of time.
(1) Afraid of moisture
Front Street specializes in freshly roasted coffee beans. Roasted coffee is like an active state and is easily affected by the outside world, such as in humid places. Because the coffee beans themselves can easily absorb external taste and moisture, the coffee beans will become odorous. For this reason, Front Street does not recommend putting coffee beans in the refrigerator. Taking the beans out of the refrigerator will create a temperature difference, condensation will appear, and the coffee will inevitably lose flavor.
(2) Fear of oxygen
Because oxygen will oxidize many of the substances in it, it will have a negative impact on the flavor and taste. FrontStreet Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) bean packaging has sealing strips. Remember to tighten the sealing strips after pouring the beans.
(3) Afraid of light and heat
Because light and heat will accelerate various reactions, the higher the temperature, the faster it will deteriorate, so you may need a sealable container to store coffee beans.
How to store fresh coffee on Front Street
[One-way breathable valve]
Because the coffee beans contain compressed carbon dioxide gas after being roasted, the gas will gradually escape from the inside of the beans and cause the beans to expand. Therefore, there is a one-way breathable valve on the surface of the bag. The gas inside can go out through the one-way breathable valve, but the outside cannot come in. Take out all the beans each time, pinch the self-sealing mouth of the bag tightly, and squeeze out the gas inside the bag. Because carbon dioxide is denser than air, it will sink below. This squeeze can greatly reduce the internal oxygen content, which is beneficial to the storage of coffee beans.
【Sealed can】
Sealed jars can isolate outside air, but most of them are made of transparent materials, so they are still easily affected by light, and every time they are opened and closed, air will enter, and the oxygen in them will still react with the beans inside. Therefore, if you use a sealed jar, it is recommended not to store too many coffee beans at one time.
【Vacuum tank】
Vacuum tanks can isolate external air, but most of them are made of transparent materials, so they are still easily affected by light. Every time they are opened and closed, air will enter, and then the air will be pumped out to discharge the air inside, turning it into a low-oxygen state. But at the same time, it also forms a low-pressure state. The pressure inside the beans remains unchanged, and the pressure difference between the inside and outside increases, approaching one atmospheric pressure. This will accelerate the loss of small molecules and volatile aroma substances inside the beans.
So Front Street still recommendsfresh coffeeJust use the one-way breathable valve bag you received the coffee beans in, place it at room temperature, seal it, and store it in a place away from sunlight. Of course, the best way is to buy the amount of coffee you need each time and drink it while the beans are still fresh.
It is not recommended to store it in ground coffee form. Even if the coffee beans are freshly roasted, once they are ground into powder, the contact surface with the air will greatly increase and the coffee will oxidize very quickly, making the coffee easy to spoil. If powdered, drink it as soon as possible within the shelf life of two weeks.
