Store Your Beans Properly

Unless you're really going on a java spree, it'll probably take you a while to use up a bag of coffee once you've opened it. No matter what kind of coffee bean you have, it will maintain its flavor best when stored at room temperature in an airtight container, preferably a glass jar or ceramic storage crock with a rubber seal.
