Posted Tue Mar 5, 2013, 12:57am Subject: When beans are held up in Customs question   I was told by a company that their particular beans they use in a particular roast were held up in Customs for 4-6 weeks.  Wouldn't they arrive to the roaster stale in that amount of time? back to top AntWilliams90 Senior Member Joined: 4 Feb 2013 Posts: 43 Location: Warwickshire, UK Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: Gaggia Classic Grinder: Mahlkonig Vario Home Roaster: Dieckmann Rostmeister Posted Tue Mar 5, 2013, 4:59am Subject: Re: When beans are held up in Customs question   Not necessarily. Unroasted beans can last for over a year without any major changes! Worry not!   As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold. back to top calblacksmith Moderator Joined: 25 Nov 2007 Posts: 5,665 Location: Riverside, Ca, U.S.A.

What if they were left in extreme cold / hot?
