Starbucks Ground Coffee in Starbucks(469)

How long does ground coffee last?

Ground coffee lasts for about six months past its expiration date and three to four months after it's been opened. You should use it or throw it out before then, because otherwise the ground coffee may start to oxidize, which gives your cup of coffee a bitter, stale flavor.

Is ground coffee supposed to be stored in the fridge?

No, you should never store ground coffee in the fridge. Coffee is a deodorizer, which means it will absorb the aromas and flavors of the food around it. This will result in an unpleasant cup of coffee. Ground coffee is best stored in an airtight container in a dark, cool, and dry pantry away from light and heat.

Can you reuse ground coffee?

No, it's not recommended to brew ground coffee more than once. If you do, you'll end up with a bitter, over-extracted cup of coffee. If you're concerned about waste, coffee grounds make an excellent compost addition.
