I have also heard not to. At least if you are keeping it there and taking it out when you use it and putting it back. I don't think it's that bad to just put it in there and take it out once if you aren't going to use the bag for a while.

I consulted a few sources on coffee storage, and there is significant disagreement whether coffee should be kept in the freezer or at room temperature. There is agreement, however, that coffee should be protected from moisture, light, heat and air. In addition, the experts agree that storing beans in the refrigerator has negative consequences because the beans can pick up unwanted flavors from neighboring food and drink (or ex-food!).

Several sources recommended putting coffee in the freezer for storage because the low temperatures slow down the degradation process. However, this method creates the possibility that moisture will condense on the beans when the container is opened (think of the water that condenses on a glass of iced tea on a hot day), thus harming those that are put back into the freezer. To prevent condensation, beans could be frozen in small containers and allowed to warm to room temperature before the container is opened. In other words, when you buy a pound of coffee, pack it into small packages that contain the amount that you grind at one time.

freeze them if they are whole bean and still sealed in the packaging. it's usually filled with nitrogen or another inert gas as to slow the oxidation process.

if the bag is opened, use it till it's gone.

that's WAY too much freakin hassle. i used to pretend i was a coffee snob, had a grinder, etc., all the typical BS.

now i buy 380 cup containers of pre-ground folgers baby. that shit is good enough for me. i ain't nobody.

so do you just leave the 380-cup container on the shelf, or do you freeze/fridge it?

I keep mine in the freezer, but I only make coffee at the house on weekends. If I made it everday I'd keep it out.


It's also Maxwell House.
