Do coffee bags go out of date?

Yes, coffee bags do go out of date. Typically, they will have a ‘best before’ or ‘use by’ date printed on the packaging.

All our coffee bags here at The Little Coffee Bag Co have their ‘best before’ date printed on the sachets and boxes. Most of our coffee has a life of over a year.

Coffee doesn’t usually go bad over time, but it can lose its flavour and aroma, which is why we provide a ‘best before’ date on all our coffee.
