Buying coffee by the kilo
A 1kg bag is the cheapest way to drink specialty coffee per cup, and ideal for households, offices or anyone getting through 250g a week. The trade-off is freshness: coffee is best within a month of roasting, so only buy big if you’ll drink it in time. Store it sealed and dark, and consider decanting into smaller airtight jars.
Frequently asked questions
- Does a 1kg bag of coffee go stale?
- It can if it sits open. Coffee is at its best for around a month after roasting. If you won’t finish a kilo in 4–6 weeks, buy whole bean (it stales slower than ground) and keep it sealed and cool.
- How should I store a 1kg bag of coffee?
- Keep it airtight, opaque and away from heat. Don’t refrigerate opened coffee — it absorbs moisture and odours. Decanting into a couple of smaller sealed jars limits how much air the bulk is exposed to.
