Invest in an airtight container or bag made of glass or stainless steel. These materials prevent light, moisture, and air from degrading the coffee's quality. Saltwinds Coffee, known for its exceptional taste, deserves a bag that offers the same level of protection with it's sealed protection. In this case, the storage ensures protective storage for optimal usage.2. Look for One-way Valve Bags
One-way valve bags are an excellent way to store freshly roasted coffee, allowing gases to escape without letting air in. All Saltwinds coffee bags utilize this method to preserve the quality and freshness of their beans. This type of packaging is particularly beneficial for maintaining the flavour profile of freshly roasted coffee. It not only prevents the buildup of excess carbon dioxide gas, but also protects the beans from oxygen and moisture.
3. Keep Away from Light
Exposure to light accelerates the degradation of coffee's flavours and aromas. Store your Saltwinds Coffee in a dark cupboard or a pantry away from direct sunlight to preserve its distinct taste.4. Maintain Consistent Temperature
Fluctuations in temperature can lead to condensation inside the the coffee bag. This can then affects the coffee's overall flavour. That is why, we encourage a storage spot with a stable temperature, ideally between 50-70°F (10-21°C).
5. Avoid Moisture
Moisture is the enemy of coffee freshness. Ensure the container is dry before transferring the coffee, and never store it near the stove, dishwasher, or any humid areas.6. Portion Control is Key
To prevent excess exposure to air when opening the container, you can divide your Saltwinds Coffee into smaller portions. This will then minimizes the frequency of opening the container, helping to retain its freshness.

Air is one of the biggest enemies of coffee freshness. When transferring the coffee from the bag to the container, do it swiftly and avoid unnecessary exposure to air.
9. Beware of Strong Odours
Coffee is remarkably absorbent when it comes to odours. Keep your Saltwinds Coffee away from strong-smelling items like spices, as it can easily pick up undesirable flavours.10. Follow First-In-First-Out
If you're a coffee enthusiast who likes to keep a variety of blends, adopt the "first-in-first-out" approach. Use older coffee grounds before opening a new package to ensure none of your Saltwinds Coffee goes stale.
