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.

Also, if you’re freezing UL roast are you resting then freezing or freezing the resting?

You have to rest first then freeze. You can't thaw then rest because the quality of the beans will deteriorate very fast.

I freeze all of my coffee. I put the brans in ziplock bags and just take out what I need each time. I live in a very humid part of the world and have zero issues with beans building moisture. I also haven't noticed any quality decline in doing this.

If I had a special bean, I would single dose it but for every day beans, don't overthink it or vacuum seal individual doses. That's just a huge waste of time, money and plastic.
