To preserve the flavor and aroma of coffee beans, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator or freezer, as temperature fluctuations and moisture can degrade the quality and introduce unwanted odors. Whole beans stay fresher longer than ground coffee, so grind them just before brewing for the best taste. Properly stored, whole beans can last for several weeks, while ground coffee is best used within a week.
