The shelf life of coffee beans varies depending on the type of bean, how it is roasted, and how it is stored. Generally, coffee beans will stay fresh for about 2-4 weeks after they are roasted. If you store your coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, they will stay fresh for longer.<\/p>\n
