- 1). Determine how much coffee you use in a one-week period. If you use two tablespoons each morning to make a small pot of coffee, for example, you use 14 tablespoons every week.
- 2). Measure the weekly amount of Folgers coffee into a resealable freezer bag.
- 3). Press air out of the bag, insert a straw into one corner and close the bag against the straw. Suck out any remaining air, pull out the straw and seal the last section of the bag. The coffee should be packed tightly without air pockets.
- 4). Wrap the freezer bag tightly in foil to protect the coffee from freezer burn and odors. Ground coffee is especially susceptible to odor absorption and the foil also protects other foods from coffee odors.
- 5). Repeat the process until you've packaged all the extra coffee.
- 6). Place multiple freezer bags in a sealable plastic container and store the coffee in the freezer for up to a year.
- 7). Bring frozen coffee beans to room temperature before grinding and bring frozen ground coffee to room temperature before brewing. Store your weekly supply of thawed Folgers in a ceramic container to keep it fresh.
