Should You Freeze Your Coffee?

This is a very interesting coffee myth that has been passed down through the ages, and I have to confess to you that I myself have been guilty of freezing my coffee from time to time. Then I discovered the truth, which was that it is so important to simply keep your freshly roasted coffee beans in a cool and dark place, like a cabinet, where they can stay protected from moisture and oxidation. If you do freeze the beans, then your coffee may come out tasting like freezer burn because the coffee beans are porous and can absorb other moisture in the air in a sealed space. Also, you want to make sure that you are protecting the essential oils of the coffee beans themselves, which is why they should not be frozen because the elements of the freezer will start to break down these essential oils (which is what makes your beans look shiny), causing them to lose their flavor. To get the best taste of your freshly roasted coffee beans, keep them in a vacuum sealed container in a cool and dry place. Perfecto!
