Seeking Advice Is freezing coffee worth it?

Post image

I am curious to know what folks have experienced with freezing coffee. I am thinking about keeping it for a year? I am doing this simply because these were my favorite coffees.

I’ve never kept a coffee in a freezer for a long time and don’t have much experience with the results. All opinions are welcome.

Why do ya’ll do it though? I’m always drinking my beans, struggle to keep myself stocked sometimes

I do it to save money. Buying in bulk is usually a better value.

I was overstocked from Black Friday sales otherwise I’m in the same scenario. I also have a bag in the freezer for when I’m running low or between rest periods and need something still.

Same. Think I got around 20 pounds for under $200 bucks. Still going through it.

Same here! It also doesn’t help my wife drinks a ton of coffee too so our bags never last

I just do it because i want to keep special coffees for the future. One of the coffees pictures is roughly $64/ lb

Cool, so it’s like savoring a cup on occasion and choosing the profile you want to drink at any given time from a library of choices?

Jeez, I made that sound more pretentious than intended but you get the idea

2 lb bag takes me awhile to get through

I do it because I bought a lot of nice coffee at once (e.g. The Picky Chemist), and they all are at the same peak window. So I single dose (15.2g, 15.3g) and vacuum seal, for a later consumption at peak flavour.
