So I may have overbought coffee recently how long after roast date are beans good. They are still sealed in their bags?

They're fine for about 6 weeks after roasting then they degrade quickly.

Just put them in the freezer, then they will come out of it as fresh as they went in.

You have to stop coffee oxidation to keep coffee fresh.
Divide it into the small batches ,vacuum seal it and freeze it.
If Don't have a vacuum sealer, just use original coffee bags , just squeeze as much air from it as possible.
Airtight container- almost waste of time , plenty of air in it .

Some roasters in the UK at least are now saying that some of theirs are recommended to not be used for at least 4 weeks after roasting. It might be bean/variety dependent though and how it was roasted.

Freezing is always something i thought was to be avoided too. Dries them out and causes them to develop tiny cracks.

What is the measured moisture content of freshly roasted coffee beans?

cnocbui · 06-08-2020 03:35PM

These are after several weeks in the freezer. What is the deleterious significance of small cracks when the beans have a veritable Marianas Trench running down them and they are destined to be ground to dust?

Hodors Appletart · 13-08-2020 03:26PM

I've a Bailies sub so I'm going to leave them out of this question

I like east african coffees - if you were buying a coffee tomorrow - one bag - which would it be?

I'll order tomorrow or monday

Mr Magnolia · 13-08-2020 04:03PM

Anything washed. Long since gone off naturally processes coffees.

I've ordered from them twice and gotten within 48 hours. I wonder is the variation in timing linked in part to which days they roast?

I just had an Arabic coffee in a Syrian restaurant here in Cork.

It's life Jim, but not as we know it.

Without doubt, it was the weirdest coffee that I've ever tasted. The wife nearly threw up when she tasted it ðŸ˜‚

It's an acquired taste!

It's strong and black with what's best described as sludge in the bottom of the cup. Often drunk very sweet. I like it.

Yeah, read up about it after I questioned it.

Stopped ordering from Bailies, as the last order I received from them had a roast date more than four weeks previous. They gave me a 20% off voucher, but that doesn't cut it for me, if you're paying for a premium freshly roasted product.

Just ordered from Coffeemojo.ie for the first time in a long while (they weren't roasting at the height of the covid-19 pandemic), and they only roast on Mondays, so doesn't always suit, but always really enjoyed the coffee I got from them. Free postage over €40, so ended up buying 1kg + 2 x 250g, for €43.50 delivered, which works out at a pretty reasonable* €7.25/250g.

(* by Irish standards).

Stopped with Baillies too and friends I recommended them to previously have also stopped for the same reasons

It genuinely smelled and tasted like there was perfume in it.
Similar to Turkish coffee in that there's coffee/sludge at the bottom but really isn't like coffee at all.

I didn't add any sugar, perhaps that's what you're supposed to do

I got 2 x 1kg recently - one was about a week old which was fine given delivery time etc. - the other was two weeks which was disappointing tbh.

Good shout on coffee mojo krusty - been years since I ordered from them so might give them a whirl :-)

There might have been cardamon in it. Another acquired taste!

I ordered from Bailies on Weds, roasted Thurs, delivered on Friday. Can't ask for better than that really.
