Thanks
I've been buying from Porto Rico Importing company and noticed after 2 weeks, it gets a acidicey smell
1/2 lb lasts me over a week
Are you getting it ground in the store?
A tightly sealed container that is not much bigger than the coffee will help. Of course getting whole bean and grinding it yourself is a better plan, but keep the whole beans sealed up as well.
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned either of these two sites:
coffeegeek.com
home-barista.com
Both have extensive resources and forums.
Spend some time there and you'll ramp up quick.
Whole beans will stay fresh a lot longer, and make your cup tastier.Thanks, I was getting it ground in store
I don't drink enough coffee at home...1/2 lb lasts me 2 weeks
It still blooms if the date is 7 months out, but not by 6.5 months. I've never seen anything more than 7 months out, less a few days. Then you have to watch out their blends being mixed with stale old beans, which they've admitted doing in the recent past.Starbucks has a sell by date MONTHS ahead of its roasting date
What's a good hand grinder and can I get one under $30? (it not, I'll just get a refurb Capresso or something)
