mostly true for me, except the oxidation off-flavors that
happen if the coffee is left sitting and air is allowed
to get in/out.

the best storage method i found was a thermos, put the coffee
in when it was hot (so the air above the coffee was also hot)
and then seal it up. that would create enough of a vacuum.

once i opened it back up to use then it would be used up
and not resealed.

i don't drink that much coffee these days to go through
such a process, i just have instant fake coffee that i use
and once in a while i add some real instant coffee and that
is good enough if i want a bit of a jolt, but it doesn't
take much to get me pretty wired.
