I want to fill an acrylic container with coffee beans as a decorative piece. The container will be "sealed" but not airtight or anything like that.
I'm wondering if the coffee beans will maintain their appearance for years? Forever?
Will there come a point where the beans will start to look like something other than coffee beans because they have decayed, decomposed, discolored, etc? How long will they look like like coffee beans?
The beans will not be exposed to moisture or UV rays. In fact, they will not even be exposed to much light, they'll be in the dark the vast majority of the time. But this is a built-in architectural feature and not something I'm going to want to replace down the road so I don't want to build it if it's going to be a headache.
It's something along the lines of the attached coffee table. My thought is that coffee beans must last a long time if you're going to build something like this with them inside. Correct?
