Bean storage Local specialty coffee shop

[nicovington]

That's looks like a place at sunny coast that would have moved in the last year.

I really like their Columbian espresso blend. I've only bought from them a few times and sometimes they are willing to get fresher stock from out the back for you. I'm general I haven't had a problem with the freshness from there but I guess it depends if it's a blend that sells a lot and gets replenished often or not.

"Just top it up when it's looking low" right? Not a problem right?

I used to buy from a local speciality Roaster with a retail frontage. Quite a big commercial operation
i was never happy that they dispensed roast beans from a large " carousel" of clear plastic hoppers , 10 or 12 different roasts, each with probably 5 kg in. Right in the shop front window.
what stopped me buying there was their total inability to know the roast date of any of the beans !
Some coffee specialist !

There's one in my locale too.

Makes you wonder just how many different roast dates are in the open bins.

We store ours in windowless bags in a wine fridge...

My pet hate is the old skool let's just chuck 'em into baskets, buckets, greasy window hoppers or something similar approach. Can't understand why roasters do that....

In my local area ive been able to find one coffee shop that freshly roasts beans themselves.
They store their beans in this fashion.
I'm a total coffee noob but i was under the impression that any sunlight/moisture/air ruins the beans
Pic coming soon, awaiting moderation
