For those who live outside of Ketchikan in Southeast Alaska, access to high quality coffee is either by mail order or by purchasing in bulk amounts when you come to Ketchikan.  Simply put, bulk ordering and long term storage of coffee presents challenges to coffee freshness.  Based upon our own experimentation and the scientific research of others, our recommendation for long term storage is to vacuum seal and freeze the coffee.  Ketch Coffee Roasters can vacuum seal coffee in plastic vacuum seal bags or in mason jars.
