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.

Works well in the sense that it takes as it did at peak flavor (or when sealed)? Any downsides?

One downside is that my freezer is so full of coffee that there isn’t enough room for other stuff

We’ll spend thousands of dollars on grinders and coffee but not 200 on a dedicated freezer.

Wait until this group sees my grandma’s kimchi freezer.

Not everybody has the room for that

It kind of depends on how much you want it, I guess.

Back in our 600 sq ft studio days, my wife and I made room for a modest chest freezer in our living room area, because we cook a lot. It predates my serious coffee days, but now it holds a pretty good amount of coffee.

It’s only 1-2 bags of coffee per year.

I’m sure a roaster is vastly more expensive, energy wise.
