You’ve invested in quality coffee beans and syrups, and you want to keep them as fresh as possible. Storing your coffee correctly is essential to maintaining the full flavor and aroma of your beans and syrups. In this article, we’ll dive into the best ways to store your coffee beans and Sips syrups to ensure you always enjoy a fresh and flavorful cup.
How to Store Coffee Beans
The quality of your coffee beans starts to degrade as soon as they are exposed to light, heat, and air. Here are some simple tips to keep your beans fresh:
-
Store in an airtight container: Keep your coffee beans in an airtight container to prevent air from affecting the flavor.
-
Keep in a cool, dark place: Store your beans in a cupboard or pantry away from sunlight and heat. Avoid storing them near the oven or stovetop.
-
Avoid the fridge or freezer: While it might seem like a good idea to refrigerate or freeze your beans, this can actually introduce moisture and cause the beans to lose flavor over time.
How to Store Sips Syrups
Our handcrafted syrups are designed to enhance your coffee experience, and proper storage is key to maintaining their freshness. Here's how to store your Sips syrups:
-
Refrigerate after opening: Our syrups are made with natural ingredients, and refrigeration helps extend their shelf life. Always keep them in the fridge once opened.
-
Consume within 30 days: To ensure you're getting the best flavor, we recommend consuming your syrup within 30 days of opening. If you’re using a lot of syrup, stock up! But if it’s been a while, give it a smell before using it to ensure it’s still fresh.
-
Store upright: To prevent spills and keep the syrup fresh, store the bottles upright.
Bonus Tip: Avoid Cross-Contamination
When using your syrups, avoid introducing anything foreign (like dirty spoons) into the bottle. This can introduce bacteria and cause the syrup to spoil more quickly.
Storing your coffee beans and syrups properly is one of the easiest ways to preserve their flavor and freshness. Whether you're storing freshly roasted beans or your favorite Sips syrups, following these simple storage tips will ensure every cup tastes as fresh as the first.
