For coffee lovers, nothing beats the taste of freshly brewed, café-like coffee at home. But brewing a great cup of coffee involves a lot of work. Right from the process of grinding the coffee beans, measuring them and then actually brewing a cup every morning can be a tedious task even for a coffee aficionado, and if someone does find the time to get all this done, every single day, the storage and shelf life of the coffee beans possess another hurdle.
Yes, we all have pondered on this question, do roasted coffee beans expire? The answer to which is, “YES,” they do expire, but not in the conventional way like other foods.
When it comes to coffee, time and environmental factors work against it. The moment coffee beans are roasted, they start to gradually lose their flavour due to oxidation and moisture in the air. As time passes, the degradable components of coffee beans like carbohydrates, lipids (fats), sugars and proteins start to break down which alters the quality of the coffee. That is why coffee beans tend to lose their flavor and aroma when kept in storage too long, even in an airtight container. The sooner you use the roasted beans, the better the coffee. Older coffee may be perfectly safe to drink, but it’s not going to please your coffee loving taste buds.
So, to enjoy your coffee at its freshest, one will have to first procure freshly roasted coffee beans, buy them roasted to order and in small batches, then store it in a cool, dark place and in an air tight container and then grind the coffee beans before brewing. Honestly, that’s a ton of work even for a coffee enthusiast. With today’s busy and demanding lifestyles, no one has the time to get all this done. Not to mention the consistency issues with every batch.
