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