First of all, when you find that the coffee beans are damp, the most important thing is to dry them as soon as possible.

Then put the baking tray with the coffee beans into the preheated oven and keep the temperature for about 30 minutes.

In addition to using an oven, you can also choose to use a fan for drying. Spread the damp coffee beans evenly on a flat and well-ventilated surface (such as a paper towel or bamboo mat), then turn on the fan and aim it at the coffee beans. The wind can accelerate the drying process of the coffee beans. This method is relatively simple and does not require additional equipment.

In addition, if you have a coffee roaster, you can also use it to dry damp coffee beans. Put the damp coffee beans into the roaster and follow the normal roasting procedure. In this process, not only can the coffee beans be restored to a dry state, but it can also bring a certain degree of aroma improvement.

Finally, there are a few things to note when handling wet coffee beans: first, before any processing, make sure the tools and equipment you use are clean and hygienic; second, pay attention to temperature control during the drying process to avoid high or low temperatures that may have adverse effects on the quality of the coffee; in addition, after drying, please store it in a sealed container as soon as possible to prevent further moisture absorption.

In short, the problem of "what to do if the newly bought coffee beans are wet?" is not difficult to solve. As long as the correct drying method is adopted in time, the wet coffee beans can be restored to their best condition and continue to bring us a delicious coffee experience.
