Storing your Beans

It’s in the bag!

BEAN TALK
We’ve had some questions about the best way to store coffee beans? So here’s some storage tips to get the best flavours, aromas & crema out of your fresh roasted whole beans.

IT’S IN THE BAG
After I'm roasted by Off the Leash I'm packed fresh in a kraft coffee bag, especially made for me. It has a one way valve to let me breathe out CO2 but stops oxygen getting in. Once packaged I build up pressure & without this valve I could burst out of storage!🐣 (this is why you see my bag puff up in the first few weeks & you smell my aromas coming out).
.
As I'm a perishable, fresh food product, my bag keeps me protected from enemies, such as oxygen, light, heat & moisture (any of these will speed up the staling process). Keep me in a cool, dry place (please not the fridge or freezer).
.
Just pour enough beans in your hopper/grinder for each brew or day (as most hoppers aren’t air tight, I’ll lose freshness if I sit in here). Grind me fresh for each brew (as once ground I deteriorate & go stale).
.
My bag has a resealable zip, so squeeze out any excess air & zip me up!
.
I like to rest up to a week after roasting to degas & start developing my flavours & am best enjoyed within 5 weeks of the roast date.
Cheers🖤☕️

Brew Equipment Cleaning

An easy way to drink better coffee!

An easy way to improve your home coffee experience is to clean your brew equipment regularly. Coffee beans contain oils which love to stick to your brewing device. If you don’t remove these oils regularly they will build up and contaminate future brews resulting in a less than stellar cup. So don’t forget to check out your manufacturers instructions for your best cleaning method. Your reward will be longer lasting equipment and of course a far superior tasting cuppa.
Enjoy!
