What is my coffee bags' expiry date?
roast date vs. expiry/best-before
49th
Last Update vor 2 Jahren
For online orders, the bottom of your coffee bag will have a roast date sticker since we ship straight out of the Roastery and our coffee is roast-to-order. 49thcoffee.com would be the platform to receive the freshest coffee.
Example:
Roast Date - November 1, 2022
Best-before Date - May 1, 2023
________________________________________________
Other:
Other retailers that sell our coffee bags will have the expiry or best-before date sticker.
To note:
Our bags are packed immediately after roasting and nitrogen flushed for long shelf life. That means they are best consumed 15+ days after roasting.
Espresso roast scenario & troubleshooting:
Customer is tasting super sour espresso.
The diagnosis would be that the coffee is too fresh and still de-gassing. This would make the coffee easy to channel and appear thin-acidic in the cup.
The best way to deal with it is go coarser and up the dose another gram of ground to eliminate channeling.
About our packaging:
At 49th our coffee quality is of utmost importance. Our coffee is nitrogen flushed and vacuum sealed, as long as the bag remains unopened there will be almost no deterioration in quality up until about the 6-month mark! After that, you may notice a difference in quality, but the coffee is still safe to consume.
