    Thanks for the earlier reply Grant.

    Been tempted to buy in kilo bag o beans as I go through a 200g bag quickly.
    Do the beans ‘go off’ if stored for too long?

    Ive just been emptying the 200g bag into the hopper on the grinder, couldnt do that with a big one.
    Letting go and relaxing

    You need to store the beans correctly. Something like this is apparently good -

    I have one of these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vacuum-Coff...vacuvin+coffee but you need to use the pump every few days as the beans give off CO2

    I wonder about bean freshness sometimes.

    I have had freshly roasted beans I do not like, and have left them in a open topped coffee tin out of disrespect for their flavour numerous times, sometimes for a few months. Then I try them and they seemed to have completely changed, transformed even, for the better.

    Complex things coffee beans.

    Got one of those on order... well similar, and a bit cheaper at about £15.

    Can help some beans. Many can lose their fresh citrus flavour. Think it depends on roasting.
    You can reseal bags and keep the valve working or use inert gas into a sealed jar.. being heavier it pushes the air out and its mostly the reaction to air that causes the problem
