Tag: Expired coffee

According to food safety experts, coffee is a 'dry good' and does not truly 'expire' in the same way perishable foods do. This means that in most cases, you can still consume expired coffee powder, though it comes with important caveats regarding taste, quality, and potential spoilage risks under improper storage.

According to coffee experts, caffeine is a remarkably stable compound, capable of surviving the heat of the roasting process with little to no degradation. This chemical stability is the key to answering the common question: does expired coffee still have caffeine? The answer, surprisingly for many, is yes—but the experience will be very different than with a fresh brew.
