My friends! Some very good questions in the comments. While my hope was for everything to be laid out in the video with the goal of the viewer's own discernment, this was a lot of information. I have clarified in a YT post all the questions and concerns I have been reading. If you believe I said something against a paper, or used AI to cross check, or whatever, please give this a once over to see if there was something that you could have missed in the video. Also, for those concerned with me addressing comments, it's ok! I do this to ensure people have best practices. If multiple people ask the same thing, I think the onus is on me to clarify, even if I believe it is all in the video. <br>Hope this helps, friends! Maybe I will work on a short/reel to TLDR best practices, although there are LOADS of variables and varieties, hence a 20min video going over all of them ha! <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxGq3AERIqvw00_yGUFBu3M4cZZXNQn1kX">http://youtube.com/post/UgkxGq3AERIqvw00_yGUFBu3M4cZZXNQn1kX?si=bS2vhXKxvF8944f6</a>

I used to bury mine in the yard until I saw a few squirrels with a V60

• Keep it in the original bag, sealed well (use a Ziploc if needed)<br>• Tape the valve, especially for light roasts<br>• Cool, dark place for short-term storage<br>• Freeze for long-term storage; thaw before opening<br>• Skip vacuum sealing

Thank you so effing much, Lance, for always adhering to the available scientific literature instead of reading scripts from a sponsor or pushing pseudoscience for engagement. You are a diamond in the rough that is the online coffee world.

Funny how this is what I've been doing for years because I was too cheap to buy those fancy vacuum canisters or single serve tubes, and now it is the meta.

My local roaster recommends freezing - good to hear that the science backs them up!
