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 🌻
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.
Hey my bad. Theres no personal attack here. I interpreted your response as rude, because your equivocation seems to ignore that I acknowledged oxidation and/or static as relevant factors like you suggested, and instead responds to a false reading of a silly position I don’t hold. I just don’t think they’re that significant, as in, storing your leftover unused grounds in a tin for a short time after grinding too much (read: a method of controlling oxidation) probably doesn’t deserve pushback.
If the majority’s coffee is presumably more oxidised than OP’s; I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume that this is simply due to their collective ignorance about oxidation. And with that context, I don’t think it’s reasonable to answer a question about storing ground coffee with, “don’t do it”. Seems very Reddit. I doubt OP is grinding more than they need on purpose. But maybe you just missed/skipped that part of my comment. Either way, I’m open to my assumption being shown as incorrect, should anyone address it.
