Coffee Growers...........it does not get any fresher than this.

Most coffee companies would like you to believe that coffee can be kept fresh for months at a time. Whether it is in a vacuum-sealed tin can, vacuumed bricks, or in coffee bags with one-way valves. What they don't tell you is the negative effects caused by how the coffee is packaged. For example, a foil bag with a one-way valve may stop the oxygen from getting into the coffee, however, these valves do nothing to stop flavor and aroma from getting out of the beans.

I like to use this example when selling coffee freshness, would you ever consider eating pastry from a can or vacuumed sealed bag? Would you purchase a pastry that has been sitting on the store shelf for more that a month or so? I have never found a person who does not enjoy fresh hot from the oven convections. This is by far the best way to enjoy your Foods and Drinks. Coffee black gold is a perishable product once it is roasted and as a green bean . Coffee stales within 2 weeks, regardless of packaging, coffee will have gassed-off much of the over 600+ volitile flavor compounds that give coffee its natural sweet, ever-so-complex tastes and aromas. Here is an interesting fact; Fresh roasted coffee directly from the roaster will produce a volume of carbon dioxide and other volatile gases within a period of 24 hours. These gasses are a natural preservative that protect the coffee from additional exposure from oxygen.

Packaged immediately from the roaster into a bag, coffee it will remain fresh up to the third week. The vacuum packaging in theory sounds great however as the gasses are removed from the coffee the negative pressure applied to the coffee is so intense, the absence of any atmospheric pressure! This incredible negative pressure forces good volitile essence to come out of the internal cellular pockets of the coffee bean causing the coffee to become void of any volatile aromas. Because coffee has less than 0.75% moisture content after it is roasted the coffee will not become stale a rapidly as bread.

So if you're not getting your coffee fresh roasted and sent the same day, then you're probably drinking it stale. No worries, if you liked stale coffee, you're simply going to love fresh.
