Some people say you shouldn't freeze coffee grounds because they lose freshness. I have always thought that freezing would keep them fresher longer. What is the best way to store coffee beans and coffee grounds so that they maintain their freshness? I am curious because I really love coffee and want to make it the best that I possibly can!
First and fore most, keep a weeks worth of coffee in an air tight container, such as a Tupperware or mason jar or etc, at room temperature, in your cupboard or pantry. Keep any excess coffee, that amount that you will not be using in the next week, sealed in an airtight and moisture tight container in your freezer.
By the time they become grounds I chuck 'em.
Repeat ofter me....."Google is my friend"

I was wondering the same thing - why store coffee grounds? I toss 'em.
aneliseib, most of us knew what you meant. I used to freeze the ground coffee but learned that this is not good because it adds moisture. Moisture is not good for the coffee. Instead, store it in air tight containers in your cupboard.
