Say you\u2019ve\u00a0run out of your usual brand of coffee or are just in the mood for something different. You\u2019ve got some leftover grounds in your pantry, but they\u2019ve been there for a while. Are they still okay to brew?<\/p>\n

The answer is a little more complicated than a yes or no, but those grounds in your pantry are still good to drink.\u00a0In terms of coffee\u2019s shelf life, grounds are always good to brew and drinking older coffee won\u2019t make you sick. But it might not taste as good.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is never not safe to drink or consume,\u201d said Makenzie Bryson Jackson<\/a>, food scientist. \u201cBut the quality of the experience won\u2019t be as great. It will be stale and potentially rancid as the oils in the coffee go off.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can tell if your coffee grounds have gone stale by their smell. The odor will be unpleasant and bland. To prevent this, Jackson recommends buying whole beans instead of ground coffee.<\/p>\n

Whole beans can last up to three months, and you can just grind your coffee at the beginning of each week (grounds last roughly a week). So, what you really need to keep your coffee fresh is a\u00a0coffee grinder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ground beans have a greater surface area exposed so they will oxidize more rapidly and you\u2019ll lose all of the delicious volatile compounds that give coffee its characteristic flavor,\u201d Jackson said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for storage, she recommends keeping your beans in a dark, cool space in an airtight container<\/a>, preferably one made of metal. Because light, heat, moisture, and oxygen can all seep into your coffee beans and affect their freshness, storing them properly is a must.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know about you, but all this coffee talk has put us in the mood to brew a cup.<\/p>\n
