Demonstrating Your Cooking Expertise

When you have the ability to get a 2-pound bag of coffee beans, then make the investment. You'll have coffee whenever you want it and you'll be able to grind your coffee on your own for the freshest appeal. Your investment in coffee should not be taken lightly because you want your coffee to stay fresh and inviting all the time. Here are the best ways to invest in coffee. This way, you have a fresh cup every time and you're able to make the most of the money you spend. 

Buy in bulk and be ready to store

Save money by buying your coffee in bulk, such as 2-pound bags of whole bean Colombian coffee beans and other types of beans. Buying in bulk usually costs less per ounce, so you save money but get more product. When buying in larger quantities, always buy your coffee as beans and not ground. This will keep the product fresher, allowing for a freshly brewed custom cup of coffee with each brew.

Always store your coffee in a cool, dry place. Some people prefer to store their bags of sealed coffee in the freezer until they are ready to use them. Others store their loose coffee beans in an airtight container. It's up to you, but make sure you're consistent and never leave your beans in an open container where they are exposed to air.

Buy fresh coffee beans with a faraway expiration date

Unless you drink coffee several times a day or have an immediate event to use an entire bag of coffee, you want to choose your bulk purchases by expiration or use-by dates. This ensures the freshest lasting time possible while in your home and will keep you from having your product go bad or stale before you're finished with it.

If you do choose to buy coffee beans that are going to reach their sell-by date soon, then see if you can get a discount on your product. Don't mix older coffee beans with fresher ones when storing them. However, it's OK to brew older and fresher coffee beans together.

You can get the most out of your experience buying whole coffee beans if you explore the brands and makes before you buy. The investment you make in coffee beans, especially when you invest in bulk, will allow you to get the most out of your coffee experience.
