How long with the tea and coffee pods last? Should they be refridgerated if not used, say, in 1 month?

Actually I bought this as a gift for my mom, but know they don't need to be refridgerated. There should be a Best When Used By date on it. My mom just loved it!!

I got this from the Keurig website...Each K-Cup® pack has a Best-Used-by-Date imprinted on the side. The Best-Used-by-Date is a guideline for optimal freshness recommended by the Roaster, it's not an expiration date. K-Cup® packs are nitrogen-flushed, sealed for freshness and impermeable to oxygen, moisture and light.

The way K-cups are made, they don't need to be refrigerated, just store in a cupboard or pantry - a cool, dry place. There is a "best if used by date" on the packaging, but they stay fresh for a very long time even after that date unless the cup has been damaged.

I have purchased two jars so far on two separate occasions and both had air tight seals of the older type (IMHO) which has the paper over foil like the old jars of instant coffee once had. As long as the seals aren't broken and the lids are on tight, you should be able to store them for quite awhile. I wouldn't feel a need to repackage them if I wanted to store them for future use.

Answer here...no expiration date on package. Coffee is best used the sooner the better,however I store opened product in sealed glass containers in cool dark place (pantry)until ready for use. It keeps for several weeks like this.

Depends on how strong you like your tea or how much you use in food prep. Drinking a cup almost daily lasts me approximately a month or longer.

They come in sealed pods. I dont refrigerate them and have never noticed anything less than a fresh taste

Five or six months is fine, I think. Refrigerating extends the life by about a month I would say (though I've never had mine go bad really, just noticed a slight shift in scent).

always keep coffee at room temp. Keeping coffee in the fridge can spoil the taste. This VAc canister helps the coffee last much longer without refrigeration. But do not keep coffee next to the stove! :)

There is no information on the bag, or expiration date, but I would expect the shelf life of an unopened bag would be almost indefinite if kept in a cool, dry place. If you are using the tea regularly, its quality should be fine for as long as it takes you to use a bag. They are dried herbs, so again, store in a cool, dry place and it should be fine.

Great question! While the tea bags can be stored, the tea itself should be used immediately. Remember, this is a LIVING product - each tea bag contains billions of beneficial microbes, lying dormant in hibernation. Once you soak the tea bag in water, you start to awaken them. When you stir and add water, now they are wide awake and ready for work and food... so let them loose!Simplest rule of thumb is work backwards: 1. Soak tea bag only when you know you

I only put in the amount of beans I want to grind for immediate use. I do not keep beans in the hopper but rather I have them in an airtight storage container which keeps them fresh for quite a long time. I buy whole beans about once a month. Keep them in a Friis coffee vault and the last beans out are just as good as the first ones. I would guess a couple of days probably won't make much difference.

I have kept raw sesame seeds in the cabinet for a long time, up to 12 months I think. They can get a little stale if you don't keep them tightly sealed. Refrigeration will make them last a lot longer I'm sure.

Refrigerated coffee will always stay fresher. So it depends how fast you plan on using it.

does pod get moldy if you leave it in for 2nd/3rd cup? I would think so. I drink 2 cups a day and I'd feel uncomfortable leaving pods in there for reuse hours after initial use. Thoughts?

Not sure what happened with the other folks but mine will be 2 years old next month and I haven't had a single issue. My Keurig brand before this only lasted 1 year. I use mine about 6 times a week. Coffee, tea and cocoa.I do use R/O water (though I read that I should not), as I want my coffee to taste good.

That is a ton of tea, indeed! I never tried to refrigerate dried tea so I can't say how well it will be preserved. What I typically do is separate a quantity I am likely to use within a month or so, then reseal the large bag and store it in a dry and cool place.

It doesn't need to be refrigerated after opening. I would imagine it would last a long time but I'm not the best to answer that part because mine is gone within a month! Actually, yes it does last. I have another flavor that I don't use as much and it's just fine.

I have used these lids for several months now and they work just fine. Do not try to use lid more than once or you will have grounds get through. You may have to watch to make sure when putting than on that it is evenly and completely snapped in place. I wash out my pods and rinse the filter gently then let dry for 24-48 hours before refilling them and inserting lid. Depending on the quality of the pods filter, one can reused pod 3-5 times before the filter becomes too week. Some pods are tighter than others and may crack preventing multiple use. If you get filterless pods as in cider or some use instant coffee methods, you can also buy insertable filters from this company too. Hope this helps!
