I have been roasting a long time and don’t worry in the least about off gassing. Just be sure to roast at least one day prior to consuming and store the roasted beans in an airtight container after cooled. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 16, 2019, at 7:47 PM, Patrick Moore wrote: > > Thanks,

Thanks, Phil. To be clear: This "off gassing" continues for roasted beans even if sit on store shelf in air tight package and, after opening, are sealed up tight and left in freezer? Noted reports from all about green beans and roasting. So, another question: How long can one store green beans

Patrick the problem is that once beans are roasted they start off gassing. Carbon dioxide exits which is good, but oxygen is introduced. It's not "bad", but your beans will be stale. OTOH, green beans stay "good" for longer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

In my experience, there is no substitute for getting freshly roasted beans and drinking them within 2-3 weeks, at most. I've stored beans in good quality canisters and they go stale just as quickly as beans stored in a typical bag. i think once they are exposed to the atmosphere, the clock

Roasting your own beans in a popcorn popper is very easy, although depending on the popper, you may have to improvise to keep beans from shooting out the top. It is a very fine line between "roasted" and "charred" in a popper so you have to be very diligent. Trader Joe's has specialty,

This or a related study was what made me keep my beans in the freezer, and I *think* I've noticed a change for the better in flavor. What appears to happen if you freeze them is that, at least using a blade grinder (whacker), the particles are more uniform in size -- noticed this with coarse grind
