Immediately after roasting, Roast A Bean recommends waiting until the beans have cooled and degassed for at least 4 hours. Flavor will begin to decline after about 10 days, so only roast what you will use in that time. We believe, based upon research that you should roast enough to last 4 to 5 days and use the coffee within 7 to 10 days after roasting to maintain the freshness. See similar questions...

Dark roasts will stay fresh for several weeks but light and medium roasts begin to lose their flavor within days. To best enjoy fresh roasted coffee, consume it within a week of roasting. Apart from dark roasts, coffee is at its absolute best in the first day after roasting, with the exception of the first 4 to 6 hours (during this period, the beans rapidly vent some of the CO2 that the roasting process releases). The coffee aroma is also strongest during the first day. See similar questions...

Green coffee beans will last for around two years without any noticeable loss of flavor. Green coffee beans should be stored in some sort of container that will allow it to breathe and not impart another flavor to the beans: burlap bags, paper bags, etc.; avoid plastic containers. Storing them at room temperature and out of direct light is fine. See similar questions...

Coffee is freshest and will taste the best if brewed within two weeks of being roasted. Although coffee can still be brewed a month or two after being roasted it will not have same brightness and clean taste as when it is first roasted. Coffee becomes stale when the surface area of the bean is exposed to air. For this reason we recommend that you buy whole bean coffee and grind only enough for what you are brewing.

Roast A Bean recommends that after roasting and waiting until the coffee has degassed, you should store the roasted beans in an airtight container. Oxygen can quickly deteriorate the quality of coffee. Storing fresh roasted beans in a good airtight seal container can minimize this. It is important to note that freshly roasted beans can emit gases within the first 24 hours after roasting. We recommend allowing the gases to escape within that time and then seal in an airtight container. See similar questions...

An authentic espresso should have a rich flavour, never bitter. Old coffee beans or coffee that has not been freshly ground may result in bitterness. For rich flavour, always use freshly ground beans or relatively fresh pre-ground coffee. See similar questions...

Roasting is a critical factor in creating the flavor profile of the coffee bean. The degree that beans are roasted can determine if the coffee will be light or dark, sweet or bitter. During roasting the raw green coffee bean loses moisture, turns yellow, and then “pops” open, much like popcorn in about 15 minutes. As this happens, the bean nearly doubles in size, and begins to assume the light tan color of lightly roasted coffee. See similar questions...

Our soaps usually stay 'good' for years. In fact, the older a soap gets, the longer it will last when you finally combine it with water in your shower. However, time does affect the intensity of a soap's fragrance. For best fragrance, we recommend that you enjoy your soaps within six months of purchase. See similar questions...

Coffee tastes best if consumed 7-10 days after it was roasted. However, our coffee is packaged immediately after roasting in heat sealed foil bags with one-way degassing valves. This allows carbon dioxide to escape, but does not allow oxygen in (exposure to oxygen is what causes coffee to stale). This type of packaging will keep coffee fresh until you open the bag, even if that is weeks from the time you purchased it. After opening, use the ziplock feature to keep it fresh.

A good rule of thumb is two to three years, but stored properly, green coffee can last many years. In fact, some species are especially prized if they are aged. Store your green coffee beans at 10 to 30 degrees Celsius, or 50 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. While some prefer to store green beans in jute or canvas bags, to allow the beans to breathe, those who store them in plastic bags or jars report no deterioration in quality.

Once roasted, coffee begins to lose its flavor the longer it is exposed to air and moisture.
