Store coffee beans or ground coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness and flavor. Avoid exposure to moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. For longer storage, you can freeze coffee in a sealed bag, but allow it to return to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation from affecting the quality.
