Question

What are 3 advantages of storing coffee in a cool dark place???

Answer 1

By far the most important reason is that light and heat promote oxidation, which is the breaking down and aging of the molecules in the coffee. So the taste, the color and the health benefits from the antioxidants will last longer if the coffee is stored in a dark, cool place, and better yet in an airtight container.

Answer 2

It keeps the oils in the beans from getting rancid and developing a bad taste.
