How Long Can You Keep Coffee Beans?
Coffee beans can be stored for varying lengths of time depending on the type of bean, the roast level, and how they are stored. In general, whole bean coffee can be kept for up to six months if kept in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. However, for the best flavor and aroma, it is recommended to use coffee beans within two weeks of roasting. Once ground, coffee beans should be used within a week for optimal freshness.
