As far as freezing coffee, from a coffee roasters point of you, here’s what can possibly happen. Anytime you freeze any object you tend to draw moisture from that object whether it be a piece of meat a bag of vegetables a box of chocolate or coffee. If the item is completely sealed then the only moisture motion will be from the item that is in the package to the package. This takes quite a while to happen, and generally when freezing coffee the taste won’t be affected unless you freeze it for an awful long time. What does happen in some situations especially if you freeze coffee that is in a bag that has a D guessing valve Is that the smell of the coffee will permeate the other products in the freezer. There is no real need to freeze coffee, especially if it is coffee beans. Just keep it in a cool dark place out of the light and out of the heat. Candy ground coffee is a completely different story. Most ken coffees are steeled before they are canned. The reason for that is that coffee beans oxidize, and you cannot draw a vacuum on fresh coffee beans. That is because there is still oxygen in the bean, which will cause it to produce more. That is why coffee that you buy at the store that has beans and in seal bags has a little valve on the front to let the gas out so that the bag doesn’t break Canned coffee also has added aroma. You may notice that the first day that you open a can of coffee it smells very pungent. After a couple of days it won’t smell quite that way. This is because the coffee in the can is not fresh enough to continuously oxidize, and this is why aroma is added to canned coffee. And Coffee doesn’t have to taste bad, it can still taste pretty good. However if you could buy the exact same coffee as coffee beans, and they were freshly roasted at least less than a couple weeks old, you would find that it would taste very different than what you got in the can. If you buy freshly roasted coffee in a bag that has a degassing valve and you keep it in a cooler is dark place meaning a kitchen cabinet that is away from heat, out of the light, that coffee can last as long as several months before the taste of the grades severely. After a while even fresh coffee beans will get oily all on their own. That is because as coffee ages any oil‘s in the beans move to the surface. There are places on the net that you can go to read more about this such as the specialty coffee association, and coffee geeks, but I can’t refer you to any direct articles. I have been a professional coffee roaster since 2003, and these are the things that I have learned since then.

I haven't noticed a difference. I have a friend who has worked as a cook in kitchen most of her adult life. She refrigerates her coffee, especially after she opens the can or jar. -----Original Message----- From: Carol Ashland via Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2019 11:25 AM To: Wendy via Cookinginthedark Cc: Carol Ashland Subject: Re: [CnD] electric coffee pot cleaning I freeze coffee beans, and it doesn't seem to hurt them.
