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 ๐ŸŒป

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.

Oooh man, that tin box! We had that as our cookie tin box when I was a kid.

Does anyone have any idea where that comes from?

I had a bigger box than OP, and it always had tea inside for me. I guess it was a specific brand of tea but I may hallucinate this.

Had no idea so many people would point out that they knew this tin hahaha. Kinda fun! Only recently picked it up for very cheap on a second hand market.

Just like me! Except I choose the small one. I wanted badly to get the lot but I don't have enough thing to store to justify it.

No idea, but it was my parent's box for loose tea leaves...
