Storage Recommendation
The Espresso No.1 stays fresher longer when:
• Store coffee beans airtight in a cool, dark cupboard - the dark roast aromatics of these espresso coffee beans are volatile and precious.
• Grind coffee beans only immediately before pulling the shot for maximum crema and aroma.
• Never freeze coffee beans - temperature fluctuation accelerates staling and damages the crema these coffee beans can produce.
