How long does coffee keep in the freezer?
I have been buying extra coffee (Starbucks ground, vacuum-packed) and storing it in the freezer. How long will it last?

Storing coffee in the freezer is not recommended because of moisture forming in the package impacting the beans. Remember that freezers go through freezing/cooling cycles where moisture can form. But when you buy in bulk, one month is the recommended limit in the freezer. Storing in a cool dark place is better than the freezer - like in a closed container in a storage area or garage that's not heated. And to note, do not store in the refrigerator either, that's worse, as the coffee can absorb refrigerator odors.
