Learn how to freeze coffee beans to preserve freshness and aroma: portions, packaging, shelf life and grinding from frozen. Track your frozen lots in the app.
Freezing coffee beans is a way to preserve freshness for longer. The idea is to split into portions (ideally one brew or a few days each), remove the air, seal well and freeze, avoiding opening and closing the same bag many times.
Many baristas grind the coffee straight from frozen, which can even improve grind uniformity. The key is to avoid moisture: take a portion, use it, and don’t refreeze what has already returned to room temperature.
Yes. Freezing in well-sealed, air-free portions preserves freshness and aroma longer than leaving an open bag in the pantry.
Not necessarily. Many grind the beans straight from frozen, which tends to make the grind more uniform. Avoid refreezing portions that have already warmed up.
Well sealed and free of moisture, freshness holds for weeks to a few months. Tracking dates in the app helps you use each lot at the right time.
