RE: Coffee: things you want to know but are too lazy to search
the question is how long the beneficial chemicals do stay in the beans? I expect as with any other food the key is frehness and processing method.... would seriously doubt if any goodness is still left in the beans which were sitting on a supermarket shelf for a year or so
Based off a quick google search, it seems that whole coffee beans stay fresh for a few months past the expiration date. Best practice seems to be storing them in a air tight container and grind the coffee just before use. It’s probably best to finish it prior to expiration.
