Drinking and enjoying an energizing cup of morning joe is not determined by the quality of your Java beans only. For a boosting caffeine fix that will allow you to sit back and savor the aromatic and intensely flavored sips, your coffee needs to be super fresh.

Once you find the perfect airtight storage for your beans, you cannot help but wonder where actually to store that container. The shelf? Countertop? Or even the fridge? Here are some tips that can help you out:
Dark, Cool, and Dry
It doesn’t matter If you store it in your pantry or cabinet, as long as the place is dry, cool, and free of light. You can also place it on top of your shelf or countertop, but do it only if there is no sun or direct light exposure.
Avoid Refrigerating
Do not keep your coffee containers in the fridge as the humidity there is high and unsuitable for fresh coffee.
Avoid Warm Places
Make sure not to keep your containers someplace warm, such as near a window (if it is warm outside), above your oven, or near the stove.
There are many different ways you can go – stainless steel, plastic, glass, or even ceramic. Stainless steel is always a winner, but glass, ceramic, or plastic can also be a good substitute.
As long as the body is not clear, your coffee should be able to stay fresh. In short, aim for stainless steel or other tinted or opaque material.
The larger your container is, the more you will open and use it. And the more you open it, the less fresh it will be.
The best solution is to have at least two containers. One large airtight container and one smaller one for everyday use. As soon as you open the bag, make sure to fill the small one first, and add the rest of it to your large container. Open the large one only when you need to refill the empty, small container to minimize oxygen exposure and keep your Java deep in flavor, longer.
Not highly recommended, but yes, you can. The best thing to do it is to divide your beans into smaller portions (a week worth of coffee, perhaps), and seal in airtight containers. Then, wrap the containers in aluminum foil to keep the humidity at a minimum. This way, your coffee can stay fresh for up to a month in the freezer.
When ready to use, just unwrap the containers, place on the counter, and let the beans come to room temperature.
The best way to ensure that your coffee will stay fresh for a long time is to drink it as soon as possible. That means that you should never buy in bulk unless you have a large household of coffee drinkers.
The airtight containers preserve the freshness of the beans for a long time, but the longer the coffee sits in the canister, the less intense the flavor is. Nothing beats a brew that comes straight from the bag, so keep that in mind when shopping for Java.
The roast date of the beans is a great indicator of how fresh the coffee is. Buy your beans as close to that date as possible for richest taste.
To keep coffee at its peak, you should never store it ground. For best results, store whole beans and grind just before brewing. If that’s too overwhelming, then grind only for a couple of days in advance, but never store more than a week’s worth of brews.
And finally, convenience and quality should go hand in hand for the ultimate cup of joe. Do not store your containers someplace out of reach, but find a dark, dry, and cool place that is near your coffee maker, for quick and easy morning brews.
