Planet Coffee Although many people drink coffee, few drink it fresh from master roasters.

A simple way of telling if your vendor ships fresh roasted coffee beans is looking at the packaging. If the packaging has a one way valve, then there is a good chance the coffee was freshly roasted. If there is no one way valve, there is no chance the coffee was freshly roasted. The gas pressure is sufficient to blow up a tightly sealed common tin coffee can. The one way valve allows the gas to leave the container and keeps air out.

Another way: As soon as you get the roasted coffee beans, take them out of the bag and put them in a sealable plastic ziplock bag. If the bag expands, then the coffee beans are fresh. If not, then they must be old.
