Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don't store much at the time, it's just if I grind a little too much and what not. I'm assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a closed container.

Feel free to share pics of your containers ๐ŸŒป

Edit: My grinder doesn't allow for selective ground mode, but a new grinder is defo on the list! Seems like keeping them as beans for as long as possible - is the way.

Be warned about that grinder you have, the basket the grounds deposit into is two separate pieces and will eventually fail, spreading coffee grounds all over your kitchen on your dog while you're hurrying trying to get ready for work and you overslept.

I know from...... experience

I've had that grinder for about ten years now and I bang that basket on the knockbox everyday and it's doing okay, but I get what you mean. The hopper lid has a crack in it from falling not very hard a while ago, so I think it might just be luck of the draw as to whether one gets a fragile plastic piece.

Watch, I'm sure the basket will shatter tomorrow, now. But the good news would be that I don't think they sell replacement parts for it anymore, so I guess I'd have to upgrade.
