Making the switch from instant to Cafetière & Co coffee is an exciting step up in your coffee journey. But unlike instant coffee, proper storage of your Cafetière ground coffee is essential for maintaining those rich flavours you're investing in. Let's make sure you're getting the most from every bag!
Why Proper Storage Matters
Unlike instant coffee that seems to last forever, fresh Cafetière ground coffee needs a bit more care. But don't worry - it's surprisingly simple! Proper storage helps:

Protect your coffee investment
The Four Coffee Enemies
Your Cafetière & Co coffee has four main enemies:
Air (oxygen)
Moisture
Heat
Light
Let's tackle each one to keep your coffee in top form.
Best Storage Containers
The right container makes all the difference:

The bag it came in (after opening)
Clear glass containers

Containers that don't seal properly
