Buying coffee in bulk is a smart move, especially when you stock up on bags of Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee to ensure you always have your favorite brew on hand. It’s a great way to stock up on your favorite coffee and save money. But if your household isn’t consuming coffee at lightning speed, you might wonder how to keep it fresh for longer. Don’t worry —we’ve got you covered with tips on how to preserve your coffee’s flavor and aroma so you can enjoy every cup.
Why Does Coffee Go Stale?
Coffee is at its peak flavor soon after roasting, but exposure to air, moisture, light, and heat can dull its vibrant taste. These elements cause the natural oils and compounds in coffee to break down, leading to stale, flat brews.
The good news? With the right storage techniques, you can protect your bulk coffee stash and savor that freshly brewed goodness for weeks—or even months.
Top Tips for Storing Coffee When You Buy in Bulk
1. Store It in the Original Bag
If you prefer to keep your coffee in its original bag, make sure it’s tightly resealed after each use. Our 12oz bags feature resealable closures for convenience, while our 5lb bags are equipped with tin ties to help maintain freshness.

2. Keep It Sealed
Air is coffee’s worst enemy. After opening a bag, transfer the beans (or grounds) into an airtight container. Opt for one made of opaque glass or stainless steel with a vacuum seal to block out air and light.
3. Divide and Conquer
Instead of keeping all your coffee in one big container, split it into smaller portions. Keep one portion accessible for daily use and store the rest in a cool, dark place. This minimizes how often the larger stash is exposed to air.
4. Freeze It (Yes, Really!)
Freezing coffee isn’t taboo as long as you do it the right way. For long-term storage:
-
Divide coffee into single-use portions.
-
Place these portions in airtight, freezer-safe bags or containers.
-
When you’re ready to brew, take out only what you need and let it thaw at room temperature.
-
Avoid refreezing coffee after it’s been thawed—it can mess with the flavor.
5. Avoid the Fridge
Unlike freezing, refrigerating coffee is a no-go. The fluctuating temperatures and humidity in the fridge can cause condensation, leading to stale and clumpy coffee.
How Much Coffee Should You Stock Up On?
If you’re wondering how much coffee to stock up on, consider your household’s coffee habits. On average, one bag of coffee makes about 24 cups. For households that brew daily, keeping a few bags on hand can ensure you have a steady supply for the month.
Pro Tip: Buying in bulk means fewer trips to the store and more coffee ready whenever you need it. Plus, our low-acid organic coffee stays fresh longer than conventional blends, thanks to its meticulous roasting process.
