What is the shelf life of Folgers coffee?

Asked 2 years ago
The shelf life of Folgers coffee can vary depending on whether it is ground coffee, whole bean coffee, or instant coffee. Generally, unopened bags of ground or whole bean coffee can remain fresh for about six to twelve months past the "best by" date printed on the packaging. However, once opened, Folgers coffee is best consumed within one to two months for optimal flavor and freshness. It is important to store the coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to help preserve its quality. Instant coffee, on the other hand, often has a longer shelf life and can last for several years when stored properly. For the best experience, it is advisable to pay attention to the packaging for specific recommendations and storage tips. If you wish to find more detailed information, you may visit the official Folgers website to explore current data on coffee storage and shelf life.
