Best Way to Store Coffee (and Tea)?

Vacuum sealing in jars just takes an attachment for a Foodsaver. They come in regular and wide mouth. Put on lid and attachment. Run cycle. Remove attachment and apply ring firmly. I use add an oxygen absorber for good measure.

Even vacuum sealed, herbal teas are best used within a year. Herbs loose flavor over time no matter what you do in my experience.

Thanks for this. I will have to search and see what I can find for our Foodsaver. This will be a good thing to have for pastas and beans too.

i don't think you really need to go through that kind of trouble for dried beans, once a jar is sealed up well enough they're not going to change that much from what air is in there.

pasta doesn't last long enough around here to worry about either. we buy quite a bit of it but Mom uses a lot of it in her cooking so the stock is rotated at least every other month or so.
