On the Biggest Loser show 9I think her name is Gillian) said that coffee should never be kept in the freezer, as it draws out the oils.
I keep a smaller amt in an airtight canister next to the coffee filters and the rest in the frig. I usually don't buy much extra to have to store unless there's an incredible sale and coffee doesn't go on sale that often these days!
I always keep mine in an air tight container. I grind it as I use it, and contrary to popular belief, the freezer doesn't keep coffee fresher. You should never buy more than you can use in a fairly short period of time. If you want better tasting coffee, use filtered or distilled water. It makes a huge difference!
If you grind your own coffee, don't grind your beans until right before you use them.

Coffee beans and ground coffee retain their strong flavor longer if kept in the freezer.

Editor's Note: For the freshest coffee, try roasting your own. We have been posting information about home roasting on another one of our websites, RoastAtHome.com

The coffee can recommends refrigeration for unused coffee grounds. I have been letting the can sit in the pantry. I don't have room in my frig. Can I freeze the grounds to keep them fresh? A can lasts me a long time. Thanks in advance.

Absolutely! Put coffee in a plastic freezer bag (or several small bags). That saves more room in your freezer too plus keeps it fresh.
