Has it ever happened to you that you buy an expensive coffee jar from the market, use it a couple of times, and then find it's frozen solid? This is every coffee lover's biggest pain. When coffee powder forms lumps or hardens, it loses its flavor and doesn't dissolve easily in milk.

In fact, coffee's biggest enemy is moisture. As soon as coffee powder comes into contact with air, it absorbs moisture and begins to spoil. But don't worry. By taking just a few simple precautions (Coffee Storage Tips), you can keep your coffee fresh for months.

Use an air-tight container.
First and foremost: always store coffee in a container with a tight-fitting lid. If you buy coffee in a package, immediately transfer it to an air-tight glass jar. Coffee is safer in a glass jar than in a plastic container, and its aroma remains intact.

Never use a wet spoon.

In a hurry, we often put a wet or used spoon into the coffee jar. Remember, even a drop of water is enough to ruin the entire jar. Always use a dry and clean spoon. Remember to close the lid immediately after use.

Don't make the mistake of storing it in the refrigerator.

Many people put their coffee in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. This method can be wrong. When you take the cold coffee out of the refrigerator, the temperature change causes moisture to accumulate inside the jar, causing the coffee to solidify. Always store coffee at room temperature.

Homemade Rice Grain Remedy
If you live in an area with high humidity (such as during the rainy season), this homemade recipe will be very useful. Wrap a few uncooked rice grains in a tissue paper or muslin cloth and place them at the bottom of the coffee jar. Rice naturally absorbs moisture and keeps your coffee dry.

Don't throw away the silver foil.
When we open a new coffee jar, there's a silver seal or foil on top. We often tear it off and throw it away. Try not to remove it completely, but only open it halfway. This seal acts as an extra shield that prevents air from reaching the powder directly.
