YOGYAKARTA No matter how expensive and delicious the coffee powder you keep in the kitchen, if the method of storing it is wrong, then the taste of coffee will be damaged. To avoid this you must know how to store the correct coffee.

Please note that coffee is a volatile drink. There are many factors that make coffee powder experience a decline in quality to affect the taste when brewed. How to store coffee powder is to put it in a container, then place it in a safe place. Here are some things that need to be considered in coffee storage.

It is not recommended to store coffee powder in open plastic. You can use a container that can be closed tightly so that coffee is more volatile. Choose to cover a container that has a rubber seal so that air from outside is not easy to enter.

Coffee storage is usually done in bottles or containers made of glass. But actually, the selection of glass containers can backfire for you. As is known, glass can be a pretty good hot intermediary. If you place a glass container filled with coffee in a hot room temperature, then coffee can be damaged. You can use a container that is not easily heated.

You can store coffee in a glass container, then put it in a cool area. Try not to get exposed to the sun directly or in a place that is not exposed to heat such as in a stove area or oven. This is done to prevent bland coffee and clot it.

Don't store coffee in a humid area like in a sink or in another place that has high humid air. This rule also applies to the refrigerator. You don't need to store coffee powder in a refrigerator to keep it fresh. As long as the coffee is stored properly, the deliciousness will be better maintained.

Coffee is actually able to absorb the smell. Therefore, try not to store coffee near the source of the pungent smell so that the taste and aroma of coffee do not change. Don't store coffee into one with a pungent source of food such as durian.

Maybe you are one of the people who store a tablespoon of takar in a container containing coffee. Although it makes it easier for you to take coffee, putting a tablespoon of takar is not recommended. This is done to minimize damage to coffee grounds. The reason is, a wet tablespoon of coffee, both realized and will not greatly affect the quality of coffee.

According to experts, powder coffee can expire faster than when coffee is in the form of seeds. Powder coffee will quickly stall within 24 hours if exposed to oxygen. Placing a coffee container near an open window that becomes the wind entrance will make the quality of coffee decrease. You can store it in a closed area with minimal light.

Basically storing coffee can be in the freezer. But make sure the container is tightly closed. Also make sure that the freezer does not mix with meat, or other food ingredients that have the potential to trigger contamination. Storing coffee in the freezer can be especially helpful if there is a lot of coffee powder. However, you still have to pay attention to the maximum age of coffee storage.
