They only last a couple of weeks! We eat a lot of beans :) I do reuse my coffee cans for storage though. (I use the same brand as you-different flavor) I love new bean recipes! Hi,

Because of that, Brazilians only use beans which are fresh and don't store them for long periods of time. They do taste much better when they are fresh. The way to tell a fresh bean from an old bean is to indent the side of the bean with your fingernail. If they are too old, they will not indent. The bean juice is much more flavorful when they are fresh! I've been cooking beans for years, but you find things out when you move to a country where beans are a staple eaten at every meal!

I would love to use this idea but afraid that my beans will taste like coffee. LOL! A year ago, I purchase some plastic food storage bins online, they arrived and they were originally used to store frozen egg products. The odor is in the plastic and will not come out. I tried putting baking soda in, i tried stuffing with brand new newspaper and changing daily for a week. Nothing is working. So had to purchase the ziploc big bags to put in the container then the food. How are you getting the coffee odor out of the plastic?
