咖啡豆，冷凍保存？/Storing Coffee Beans: Can You Freeze Them?

 

將咖啡豆儲存在冷凍庫真的會讓咖啡豆的風味時間延長嗎？

根據一些研究和作為咖啡師的經驗，我相信每種咖啡，無論你如何儲存，都將偷偷的失去它的香氣和味道。

將咖啡豆存放在冷凍裡真的會讓咖啡豆保持更長時間的新鮮，這是真的嗎

影響咖啡品質的因素是：

氧氣—咖啡在烘焙後會釋放二氧化碳。 如果你把咖啡放在拉鍊袋裡，不讓氧氣進入，袋子可能會爆裂。 但是，讓袋子開啟或讓氧氣一直進入袋子，味道會變得更糟。 合適的咖啡容器應該有一個釋放二氧化碳的閥門（單向排氣閥），這將使您的咖啡豆保質期延長。

溼度—溼度對烘焙咖啡豆有著負面影響，比如改變其味道和香氣。 因此，一個合適的咖啡袋應該能夠防止咖啡潮溼。

熱—熱會導致咖啡豆失去味道甚至出現其他惡臭味。 然而，低溫可以更好地儲存。 保持咖啡品質的『最有效溫度是0度』。

美國特色咖啡協會（SCA）的創始成員曾對此事進行過實驗，

他將咖啡豆分為三組樣本。

第一組是常溫釋放二氧化碳五天的咖啡。

第二組是冷凍了四個月的咖啡。

第三組是冷凍一個月的咖啡。

第二組和第三組的豆子經過新鮮烘烤，在冷凍前放入拉鍊袋中。

實驗中選擇的咖啡是衣索比亞；主要是因為它具有標誌性的細膩味道和果味。

這些是認為在凍結後對比，可以看到最明顯的品質變化，最後，他發現各組之間的口味竟然沒有差異

身為一個咖啡迷，你知道咖啡豆一次買太多量，可以怎麼做了吧

記得將咖啡分量，再冷凍保存唷！

Does storing coffee beans in the freezer really extend their flavor lifespan?

According to some research and the experience of being a barista, I believe every type of coffee, no matter how you store it, will gradually lose its aroma and taste.

Does freezing coffee beans really keep them fresher for longer? 🧐

Factors affecting coffee quality include: 🔺 Oxygen—Coffee releases carbon dioxide after roasting. If you put coffee in a ziplock bag and don't let oxygen in, the bag might burst. However, letting the bag open or allowing oxygen to continuously enter will make the taste worse. The right coffee container should have a one-way valve for releasing carbon dioxide, which will extend the shelf life of your coffee beans. 🔺 Humidity—Humidity has a negative impact on roasted coffee beans, such as changing their taste and aroma. Therefore, a proper coffee bag should be able to prevent the coffee from getting damp. 🔺 Heat—Heat causes coffee beans to lose their flavor or even develop other unpleasant odors. However, low temperatures are better for storage. The most effective temperature to maintain coffee quality is 0 degrees.

A founding member of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) conducted an experiment on this matter. He divided the coffee beans into three groups of samples. 👉 The first group was coffee released carbon dioxide at room temperature for five days. 👉 The second group was coffee frozen for four months. 👉 The third group was coffee frozen for one month. The beans in the second and third groups were freshly roasted and placed in ziplock bags before freezing. The coffee chosen for the experiment was from Ethiopia, mainly because it has a distinctive delicate flavor and fruity taste. These are the qualities expected to show the most significant changes in flavor after freezing. In the end, he found no difference in taste between the groups‼️
