Can Coffee Beans Grow Mold? Here’s What You Should Know

Coffee is a natural agricultural product.

Like grains, nuts, and many other crops, it begins its journey outdoors before eventually reaching your kitchen.

Because of that, proper harvesting, drying, and storage are incredibly important.

If coffee isn’t processed correctly and moisture isn’t carefully controlled, conditions can allow mold to develop during storage.

That’s why reputable specialty coffee producers invest so heavily in quality control.

Coffee cherries are carefully harvested, dried to specific moisture levels, stored in appropriate conditions, and inspected throughout the supply chain before they’re exported.

By the time great coffee reaches a specialty roaster, countless people have worked to ensure it meets high standards.

At Don Eugenio Café, sourcing is just as important as roasting.

We work with trusted partners who prioritize quality from farm to export because exceptional coffee begins long before the beans arrive at our roastery.

Every great cup starts with great care.

That’s something worth appreciating every morning.
