For someone who drinks 2 cups a day, 1 KG of whole bean coffee lasts approximately 6-8 weeks. We recommend consuming it within 4-6 weeks of the roast date for optimal freshness. Once opened, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
Store whole bean coffee in an airtight, opaque container at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating it, as moisture and odor transfer will degrade the flavor. Vacuum-sealed containers are ideal. Keep it away from direct sunlight and humidity.
1 KG of whole bean coffee makes approximately 55-65 cups, based on 15-18 grams per cup. For espresso (7-9 grams per shot) you will get more servings, while French Press (18-20 grams) yields fewer cups.
1 kilogram of whole bean coffee is the go-to bulk size for dedicated home brewers and small businesses. Buying roasted-to-order specialty beans in a large format lowers your per-gram cost while providing 4-6 weeks of uninterrupted brewing when stored correctly.
A 1 kg bag of whole bean coffee translates to roughly 3-4 weeks of supply for someone brewing 2-3 cups a day. Compared to 250 g bags, you can expect a 15-25 % saving per gram — a meaningful difference over the course of a year.
The trade-off with buying in bulk is responsibility: once you break the seal, oxidation begins. Transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight container immediately after opening. A practical strategy is to portion out one week's worth into a smaller jar and keep the main container sealed as much as possible.
At Fuga Coffee, every 1 kg whole bean order is roasted on demand. That means your beans arrive days — not weeks — after roasting, giving you a much fresher starting point than anything on a supermarket shelf. The first 2-4 weeks after the roast date are the golden window when aromatics are at their peak and every cup sings.
After opening the 1 kg bag, scoop a week's worth into a small jar. Keep the main container sealed to minimize air exposure.
A kilo is a commitment. Make sure the roast date is no more than a week old before you buy.
Whole beans give you the freedom to grind for any brew method — that versatility is the biggest advantage of the 1 kg whole bean format.
“A 1 kg whole bean bag makes the most sense once your coffee routine is dialed in. We roast to order so freshness is guaranteed on our end — your job is proper storage to keep it that way.”— Fuga Coffee Roasting Team
