Freezing Coffee???

Pop ’em in the freezer then get grinding. Every coffee fan has their own little recommendations for making the best cup of coffee. Seriously. You think the milk first or last debate is heavy? Try asking a bunch of coffee-drinkers their opinions on beans and filters. It’ll get heated. But there are some little tricks that all coffee-lovers can get behind – mostly because they’re easy, and make coffee just taste better, no matter how you make it. This is one of them. According to the New York Times, we should all be keeping our coffee beans in the freezer. Apparently freezing your beans (not a euphemism) makes your coffee richer and more flavourful. This is because when beans are colder, they produce smaller, more consistently sized particles once ground. This is a bigger deal than it sounds. Water extracts flavour from smaller coffee grounds faster than big ones. So when you have larger pieces of coffee or a mixture of large and small grounds, you won’t get the true taste of your coffee beans. By freezing your beans, you’ll be able to get a more consistent flavour and more flavour from a smaller amount of coffee beans. The trick works regardless of what type of coffee you’re using. It just makes every cup better – with hardly any effort. The deconstructed coffee trend is proof that we’re all doomed All you have to do is make sure to put your beans in an airtight container to avoid freezer burn or moisture, then pop them in the freezer.
