Don't let your coffee beans lose their aroma. Keep them fresh by storing them in an airtight container. This blocks moisture and air, which can degrade the beans and diminish their rich flavor. With this hack, every cup of coffee you brew will taste freshly roasted.

This is so unique.! I'm not sure if I could find bear meat, but I'm definitely going to look into it. Sounds like an adventure.

I gave it a 5
