£10 for 1Kg of Italian coffee beans is a very good price.
They can be frozen in an airtight container if you don't actually run a cafe too. :wink:

To clear things up: Yes, freezing coffee beans is bad. Buying stale beans from the supermarket is also bad. If you're buying these, you probably won't notice. FYI, it's pretty much pointless buying beans like this. Go to a decent coffee shop and buy freshly roasted, or use Pact Coffee (delivered to your door).

Yes, someone above pointed that out. But, its more commitment and hassle unless you actually want a bag a month.

Air tight container in the fridge in a black bag to stop any light when opening and closing the fridge. If kept in the freezer any moisture will turn to ice and damage the beans. Personally I keep them in my air conditioned comms room at work.

They're coffee beans, not gremlins.

Cold won't drain the cell, in fact it will slightly lengthen the lifetime. Not to the point that keeping it in the fridge is a must, but it is definitely preferable, all being equal, than leaving it at room temperature. At room temperature, a normal AgO2 cell will lose about 10% of its capacity in a year. It's much less at lower temperatures, so "might as well"

Better than keeping it in your pen-is...

Years ago it might have been true as it slows the chemical reaction internal leakage, but with todays technology its a much reduced phenomenon.

I think that is to keep the waxy deposits fresh?

Don't freeze them - it's a myth.

What's a myth?
There is a whole load of online discussion on the subject. From what I see, in an ideal world freezing wouldn't be necessary as you'd prepare just what you needed, but in the real world freezing in an air tight container works if you have to do it:
A friend of mine just took his hearing aid batteries out of the fridge. I said "Doesn't the cold drain the batteries?" but was told that the hearing aid guy recommended keeping the aids in the fridge. Sounds odd to me.
OK, I digress.

Fair enough, but as far as I can see, it looks like opinion is divided and I can't see much actual evidence either way.

One thing to mention, if you're going to freeze them, make sure they're properly defrosted before you grind them.
Moist beans on your grinder will ruin it.

Worth considering if you got the storage space for it. :smiley:
