  • Are these good for keeping coffee beans fresh for 1-2 months from roast date?

    • +1

      No ziplock bag will help you there. If you want to keep beans fresh that long, you need to either vacuum seal or use a vacuum canister like the Fellow.

        Even vacuum sealing won't keep your beans fresh for 2 months. If you need to store it for that long I would freeze them instead. Portion into single doses or small dose that you will finish in a week then freeze

        • Agreed regarding freezing for freshness at 2+ months.. Was more looking at the 1 month part of the original comment.

          • @Klompy: After 4 weeks coffee tastes too faded to me. Personally I would both vac seal and freeze. This works surprisingly well in a domestic freezer once the frozen grind has been figured out. Packaging cost and plastic waste is a bit of a pain though.

            • @TightLikeThisx: Get a coffee container, see link..
              And/or buy 500g not 1kg beans. Leave in fridge

              • @G-rig: Or just buy coffee weekly and use it up within 8 days.

                If you are buying coffee to last for 2 months you are doing it wrong.

                • @TightLikeThisx: Whatever cun
                  The coffee lasts a month and fine.
                  You're a sucker if buying 250g at a time, have you noticed it works out more expensive? What are you doing on this site.. dialling in new beans on a 40-50$/kg you'd be afraid to waste a few shots.

                  • @G-rig: Yeah I would say up to a month but not two.

                    I guess it's easier to dial in stale coffee so you do have a point.

                    For me espresso at home doesn't make sense financially and I prefer black filter coffee anyway.

                    The way I brew is pretty forgiving. The coffee just has to be quality and reasonably fresh.

                    If you don't believe what I said hold onto some coffee for 2 months and cup it blind against a new batch of the same coffee. The green coffee will fade during this time too but if the roaster is consistent and there is no blend changes I think you will be surprised by the result. If you add sugar or milk substitutes to your coffee these differences could be masked enough for you not to notice them so yeah by all means in that case bulk buy and save.

                    • @TightLikeThisx: Yeah mate I generally use 1kg up within a month, and the Aldi beans are that cheap can always toss the few that are left. Anyway there isn't much discount for buying 1kg vs 500g so may so that next time. Still won't hurt storing them in a vacuum coffee container.

                      • @G-rig: That sounds like a good plan. I haven't tried Aldi coffee but it seems popular on here. I might check around with my friends and split up a bag between us and use it for stovetop. Coffee roasted especially for espresso can taste a bit ashy in the Aeropress.

                        Yeah I used to have a vacuum seal container over ten years ago. The wine sealer type. The new ones do look alot better but I'm tight as at the moment.

      • Are these good for using instead of vacuum bags for sous vide? I keep seeing recipes say you can use water immersion method with zip bags, are they referring to standard bags like these or some kind of special heat resistant zip bags?

        • Sous vide temps are low enough that you can use standard zip lock bags - but i would use the double zip style because they're more secure. The larger sizes are even better.

          Obviously make sure you removed as much air as possible in the bag before you sous vide.

      • So I need to use vacuum to seal this.

      I got one of these recently for $23

      Just need some new beans to test it out.

      They last pretty good in the fridge anyway.

    You mean 100 right

  • These are the crappy single zip ones. All the larger ones are double-zip, giving a nice seal that lasts weeks.

    • Most people would throw away the small ones I reckon.
      I'm sure they are fine though, and you could reuse as much as you like.

    • I was using these to freeze portions of food, but they don't last long in the freezer before going bad, like dry and cracking. Thinking of using vacuum bags for everything from now on instead.

      • +2

        You need to get ziploc freezer bags for freezing. Though they are still a step below vacuum sealing.

  • Good for sous viding.
