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.

I have literally a couple of mason jars (the smaller variant ball jars). I have a hand grinder that fits the jars so it works out. Means my husband and I can both have ground coffee fairly fresh and without having to share (his coffee tastes like dirt to me). It works for us. We grind the night before usually.

I keep my old coffee bags with the little plastic vent thing in them, and use those to store my brewing grounds for the week.

I can't deal with grinding fresh every day.

Yeah same here, currently grind only every other day - which still feels a lot hehe. Totally get that "keep it as fresh as possible", but I dont have the time in the mornings to go through the full process, so gotta cut the corners some places :P
