This picture was on one of my trips to Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. One of the most beautiful lakes in the world. My family and I are getting ready to board a small boat and cross the lake to the volcano on the other side.
A question asked is: What is the best way to store coffee.
My suggestion is leave it in the bag that it comes in. Keep in a cool place out of the sun and keep the bag standing up. The bag we use is a special bag designed to store coffee. The one way valve on the bag is made so Carbon Dioxide can be released but oxygen is blocked from entering the bag.
After opening the bag, always seal the bag tightly by folding the top over and sealing with a small clip. Be sure it is air tight. If you have a grinder at home it is best to purchase whole been coffee for maximum freshness.
When coffee is ground it loses freshness much faster than the whole beans.
We have been roasting commercially now for over 17 years. " Since - 2009 "

I enjoy talking to the farmers in Guatemala and listen to their stories. One farmer showed me the old Diesel engine he bought which now he can make electric to power his washing station that he installed two years ago. With his own electric power, He is able to do custom work for small area farmers now.
