my coffee has been dispached!
coffee beans: freezer or drink the motherfucking lot in one go

Grind what you need each time you need it. Actual beans don't need to be frozzed I don't think.

( LimeyTreat Bitch. Lover. Child. Mother. Sinner. Saint., Tue 12 May 2009, 16:18, archived)

Yes they do.
Beans go stale about two weeks after roasting.
Grounds go stale about twenty minutes after grinding.

*breathes in*
The refrigerator is the mortal enemy of your coffee. Taking coffee in and out of the fridge is a sure way to suck the flavor right out of it. Coffee that will be used frequently and immediately—whole bean or ground— is ideally stored in an air tight, opaque,and glass or otherwise inert container. Coffee that will not be consumed immediately but needs to be preserved for near-future use can be safely stored in the freezer assuming it is stored in a dry and air tight container. Storing an unsealed container of grounds or beans in the cold temperatures of either the fridge or freezer is a sure way to accelerate the its journey from delicious flavor to stale bitterness

I like that coffee and milk dust that you just add water to.

I only read your post and thought
you were talking about baked beans. Makes more sense now I've read the other posts you were replying to.

this is what i do
frozzing seems to help keep the smell fresh, though this may be verification bias
( spacefish bong!, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:21, archived)

my best mate's all coffee nazi'd up
and he keeps the beans in the freezer, so you're in good company.

Ive happily left grounds out in a semi sealed bag
Tastes just as good as far as i can tell

I suspect there to be a level of poncery to all this
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:26, archived)

There probably is
but the coffee he makes me is the best I've ever had by far, so meh.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:26, archived)

A discerning palate is not poncery.
If you can't tell the difference; fine, if you can, do something about it. In the coffee shop I use, I can tell who did the morning roast by the taste of the coffee...

Or, perhaps, you've never had a properly, properly, properly fresh cup of coffee
and so have no higher benchmark on which to base your opinion?
(rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:28, archived)

i'm not saying that you can't enjoy coffee any old how
but i do think it tastes better if it's had a pompous fuss made over it
( spacefish bong!, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:31, archived)

The bottom line is
why have adequate when you can really really good?
(rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:33, archived)

my bottom line is: if it doesn't bother you, why worry?

( spacefish bong!, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:42, archived)

Because people will end up thinking that Starbucks coffee is better than their coffee
when they're actually both just as shit and suddenly Starbucks becomes the benchmark and everything in the world ends up being shitter.

Seperate into bags of how much you'll use in a week.
Put all except one into freezer.
Use that one.
Use another one after that.
Continue, etc.

grinding them from frozen actually seems to work better
it makes the beans more willing to jump into the mashy jaws of tasty death

Roasted, covered in chocolate, packaged in an 'ironicly cheap' matchstick box.
£2.50 a packet, or 3 for £7.49.

My chain of coffee shops will take eleventy crates.

Why would you eat chocolate covered beans?
You take yummy chocolate and wrap it round something unpleasant. Why?

The rule of thumb is that if the milk is frozen, you need to turn it down.

( Comma, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:20, archived)

We had a fridge which would be cool at the front but at the back would freeze milk.
So we just kept the cheese at the back and milk in the door.
