Unfortunately, the flavor of ground coffee becomes worse immediately after grinding. Or after you have opened the vacuum packaging.
Theoretically, coffee should be ground on your own just before cooking. If you take coffee beans at home, it begins to lose its quality after a week of storage. The experts advise buying at a time no more than 200g of beans.
The beans should be of a regular shape, velvety to the touch and not too small.
The color may be different, but keep in mind – the higher is the roasting temperature, the darker is a bean.
Then coffee beans are ground in the coffee-grinder. Two tablespoons are put into the porcelain cup and pour with boiling water. In case if in 2-3 minutes you will feel sourish smell, then the coffee is old.
In order to determine conclusively, put silver teaspoon into the cup. The foam on the spoon is a proof of fresh coffee.
Remember that coffee in beans, like ground coffee, is susceptible to foreign smells and should be kept dry.
