Store them in a cool, dry spot away from moisture and heat.Best Flavor Period: Typically within the best-by date and up to 6-9 month s after, coffee pod s retain most of their flavor. After 9 Months: Coffee may lose some freshness, becoming less aromatic. After 12+ Months: Flavor may become flat or stale, though it’s still safe to drink as long as stored properly.The coffee used in pods is often roasted and ground months before you use it – meaning a coffee brewed from a coffee pod is less healthy than a coffee brewed with freshly roasted and ground beans.
