5 Incredible Myths Of Coffee Freshness, Revealed
Dit stuk, wat al wat ouder is wil ik jullie niet onthouden! Ik citeer hieronder een interessant stuk over de versheid van koffie en hoe ermee om te gaan. Maar lees ook zeker even het hele stuk ook om te lezen wie dit allemaal zegt.

"There is a popular practice here in America, advocated by food writers likeAlton Brown and others, that says coffee can be stored for freshness in the freezer. In your expert opinion, should coffee ever be put in the freezer?
Coffee ages slower if you cool it down. All the changes that we see, especially when it comes to aroma, are slowed down incrementally by 10 degrees at a time. If you cool coffee just 10 degrees below room temperature, this “aging” process will be slowed down by a factor of 2. It has been proven that aging is slowed down if you keep coffee cold, but by no means does this mean you should freeze your coffee. In fact, I would say you should not freeze specialty coffee—freezing might change its structure, and cause individual beans to crack.
But there’s another issue at play when you consider freezing or refrigerating coffee. Once you take your coffee out of the fridge and you open it, introducing it to warmer air, this will result in considerable condensation on the coffee, which is extremely damaging in terms of aroma and structure. So the damage that happens when you open a coffee bag cold will more than overcompensate for what you will slow down during cold storage.
It’s true that cold storage can help slow down coffee aging, but then when you go and open it at room temperature, any benefits of cold storage are more than negated by condensation. One simply has to understand how cold storage works: the storage itself is okay, but opening it is not okay, unless you were only going to open the coffee bag and make coffee with it in a room that was quite cold."
