Fresh Kona Coffee

We know that fans of our Kona coffee can’t drink everything at once—you want to savor it slowly over a gradual period of time. We also know that there’s just one problem that faces you in that period of time; how do you keep your precious Kona coffee fresh? Well, there are two enemies of that much-needed freshness to keep in mind, moisture and air.

Tips on Keeping Fresh Kona Coffee…Fresh:

Any whole-bean Kona coffees should be kept in an airtight container, such as a stainless steel, lever-sealed jar, and placed somewhere that remains at a steady room temperature. Cutting back on the amount of light they’re exposed to will also help keep your Kona coffee fresh. Also, for optimal flavor, whole beans are best if used within one month of purchase.

One myth about keeping Kona coffee fresh is storing your beans in the freezer. Remember, you want your beans in an environment of neutral room temperature, avoid extremes, especially extremes with moisture such as exactly what your freezer has.

Another fact to keep in mind, and something you can certainly expect of our fresh Kona coffee, is to buy your beans in airtight, vacuum-sealed bags. This method is the one that promises the most freshness retained between processing and packaging, so be confident that the most flavor possible is held covetously within each bag of our product that you buy.

Ways to Keep your Kona Fresh after Brewing

Here’s something we’ve all done at some point—brewed more coffee than we discovered we’re able or willing to drink in one sitting. Here’s a thought on that, instead of feeling obliged to finish that one last cup by microwaving it so you don’t have to throw it out, and dealing with that awful re-warmed taste, try pouring that last glass into a sealed thermos and putting in the fridge. By the next morning you’ll have a nice cool wakeup drink of fresh Kona coffee, and you’ll be glad you waited. However, if you absolutely have to drink that one last cup before you hit the road and the microwave is the only option, here’s a tip on a common mistake to avoid; add any cream or sugar you use to your cup after microwaving, not before. Avoid that heated, separated cream and burned sugar effect. However you have to worry about freshness, whether it’s how you store it, the package in which you buy it, or saving the last drops of a brew, with fresh Kona coffee you have the best base ingredients in the world.
