Coffee

Beans go in mason jars once I open a 1 Kg bag. Once it's ground, I'm drinking it.

I weigh the amount of beans I intend to grind so I never have to store ground coffee.

I'll mix a pound (or whatever size they are now) of regular and a pound of decaf and store it in a big plastic Folger's container in the fridge.

I'm a heathen.

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.

I store mine in a plastic container with an air tight seal. I prefer to use fresh grounds, but my grinder seems more consistent with higher volume. I usually grind 2-3 brews worth at time.

Not ground coffee, because I measure before I grind, but I have this jar that previously held instant coffee. It perfectly fits a bag of coffee, and I think it's probably more airtight than the bag.

Usually I attach a copper wire from the tin box to the faucet to make sure it's well grounded.

I think most people here will be grinding their own coffee per batch. It's typically step 1 or 2 when getting into the hobby, the other being buying better coffee.

That being said, if you do have pre-ground coffee try to use it as quickly as possible as it will lose flavor much faster than whole beans. Store it in a dark, air-tight container.

That tin box you have was originally used for loose leaf tea and is widely available if you want more

In my coffee. Haha. I weigh out the amount of coffee I need before I grind it. That said, I also exclusively make cold brew, so I'm typically making enough for a few days.

In the timeout corner 🤪

I’m no coffee connoisseur- but wouldn’t storing the coffee beans in ground form be more prone to static build up, humidity, etc etc than just storing the beans in whole form?

I measure the beans before I grind. No way I'm storing ground coffee.
