Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don't store much at the time, it's just if I grind a little too much and what not. I'm assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a closed container.
Feel free to share pics of your containers ๐ป
Edit: My grinder doesn't allow for selective ground mode, but a new grinder is defo on the list! Seems like keeping them as beans for as long as possible - is the way.
Don't store ground coffee? Buy an inexpensive hand grinder from someone who's moved up to a more expensive model and keep your beans whole until you're ready to brew.
Coffee stales amazingly quickly and there's really no good way to prevent it, the longest I'd store ground coffee for is like half a day (if I'm taking some ground coffee to work to make a cup mid day.)
If you absolutely must store ground coffee an airtight container should work but it won't be terribly fresh after a day or two.
Any suggestions there? I've looked in the past from recommended review sites but some of the ones I saw suggested online as quality started at like $80. Also does it take a long time to grind say 6-8 tablespoons of ground coffee?

Thanks.
