what is the best way to store the unused beans?

I store them in a ziploc bag with the air pressed out. Store in the cabinet away from light, not the refrigerator.

The best way to store unused beans is chopped up and soaking in vodka. The beans don't go bad and the vanilla will last forever.

My first batch I made vanilla extract. My second batch is still in the package even in shipping package still in cabinet until I can make time to make more vanilla extra. I'm not sure but the website you purchase the beans from will probably tell you

I store mine in a glass jar with saran wrap under the lid to ensure air lock.

Vacuum seal them If you can or store in an air tight container in a cabinet.

One should not store ground coffee in the freezer or refrigerator, according to the National Coffee Association. http://www.ncausa.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=70 It is OK to store UNground beans in the freezer, but once they come out, they should not go back into the freezer or refrigerator. This looks like a good way to store your current supply of beans, ready for grinding just before you need the ground coffee.

We buy the Kick Ass Dark but I assume the beans are about the same. It takes us about 3 weeks to use an entire bag making one pot of coffee a day. We just keep the beans we are using in a metal tin and what doesn't fit in the tin we keep in the bag folded over with a clip in the cabinet. I can say we have never had a batch that isn't fresh.

Apologies in advance if this isn't what you are looking for... Does the following help?When finished grinding a specified number of cups, and you *do not* tap the side of the housing, there is less than a quarter tsp of grounds (qualify this: winter season, low humidity, northern midwest US, at this writing). If you gently tap the housing, there really is not any retained grounds.If you unlock the feeder bin, and remove it. There is a variable amount, between a 1/8 and a 1/4 cup of half beans and parts. Good Journey!

Assuming you care about getting the best flavor in your brew, don't store beans in the hopper. Keep them in an air-tight, light-proof container.

I agree with Char Rech- you can put a packet in the bag. You could also spray the material with a scent of your choice and, if you didn't like it, could wash the bag. The beans/stuffing can be removed and the cover washed.

After the grinder stops, "slap" the motor housing with your palms on both sides at the same time. This works to dump grinds from the burr into the glass pot. It also helps to release the static electricity. Don't use the hopper to store beans. Store them in an airtight container and measure each day's beans. Oh, and be sure to turn off the toggle switch after using. You will save electricity and the motor will be cool for your next grind.

I only put as many beans in the hopper as I'm ready to grind since it is clear and not super air tight. Beans should be left in a dark air tight bag or cannister until ready for use.

Refrigerate any unused portion when you need to use your body heat melts it quickly. Or just set some out at room temp ahead of time

Wouldn't know because we use them up quickly. But since they are dry to begin with, as long as you keep them dry, I would suspect that they would last for years and years. The are designed to remain moist when you plant the seeds and water them. I'd have no problem with storing the unused ones.

Easy! Soak the beans overnight in enough water [I use filtered water, not tap] to cover them by about 5 inches. The beans soak up the water so you can't add too much!! I put the beans in the fridge but you can leave out overnight too - cover the pot. Next day, drain and rinse. Again, add water [filtered] to cover the beans by about 4 inches. If you want, add some salt to the water. Bring to a boil and cook. I cook the Palouse brand for about 45 minutes but others I cook for an hour. You just taste one and if it's right, the beans are done. Empty the water, rinse the beans if you want, and enjoy! Easy!

No, not airtight. I only fill mine 1/4 full and store remaining beans in original bag or in another airtight container. I use a strip of press & seal between lid and bowl to help keep beans fresh.

I really don't know for sure but I've heard up to 5 years possible longer. I mean they are dried beans, just keep them in a dark cool spot in the house. That's what I'm doing. I've had mine for a few years now and I plan on checking out some of them this year in the garden. I'll find out then how well they do. Good luck to you.

I use a paper towel to dry it occasionally. What has worked best for me is to rinse a the removal parts (bowl and top of the bean container, basket for the grinds and the cover, coffee carafe and lid, and leave them to air dry in the dish drained. Leave the top and basket compartment open to allow the non-removable parts to dry. Cindy M.

Amazon has a lot of solutions -- I use these resealable vaccum-sealed containers for both ground coffee and whole coffee beans Tightvac Coffeevac 1 Pound Vacuum Sealed Storage Container, Solid Black Body/Cap

Hello, same thing happened to me. But I think it's becaues the bean bags were decompressed and possibly put in a storage facility for quite a while. Anyway, the only option is to just air it out outside (with a cardboard underneath the chair to keep it from getting dirty) or open up all the windows in a room where the Fuf chair will be. It said on the website that you should only spot clean your Fuf chair, so taking out the foam and trying to wash the fabric would not be recommended unless you ordered the liner with it. https://www.beanbaguniverse.com/FAQ.aspx (that site answers a lot of questions) Hello, same thing happened to me.

I never rinse them off with water. Fermented black beans are generally used in Asian cooking; just follow the directions. I store them in a sealed plastic bag in a cool dry place. They last a very long time; and, you usually use a minimal amount (2 Tbsp or so) as they are very potent.
