Actually , freezing the beans is not a good thing . Every time you pull
them out to get some they condense a small amount of moisture . Over
time this will degrade the coffee . Now keeping the package sealed is
another thing , that keeps the oils from evaporating or oxidizing . When
I blend my coffee I do it 400 gm at a time into a Tupperware container .
The rest stays in the foil/plastic bag with all the air squeezed out .
That Tupper container is opened about every 4th day to refill the
grinder hopper .
