    In general, these are good all around tips. Like many other food items, I keep only an amount of coffee beans on hand that I wil use within 7 days. I am a home roaster and enjoy the selection of green beans available both locally and on the internet. And, believe me, there is nothing better than a cup or two of your own home roasted, freshly ground coffee !

    Hi Danielle. Do you know if the carbon dioxide test will also work for ground coffee beans? Thanks!
