If you put a half-opened bag of beans in the freezer , when you thaw it out, it doesn't taste the same or as good as when you first bought it. Not to mention, "The cell structure of coffee is soft and porous, and likes to absorb aromatics. Don't even get Corlett started on the fridge.
It causes the coffee to condensate and pushes oils to the surface. It actually ages the coffee faster," he explains. If you are dead-set on keeping beans in the freezer e. Then, before drinking, you'll have to let the beans thaw to room temperature.
You may have preserved some of those fresh flavors, but you'll also have created a pain in the neck out of a beverage that's supposed to be convenient and easy. In a perfect world, you'd buy freshly-roasted whole bean coffee in small enough amounts so that you'd finish the bag before it begins to lose flavor.
But since that's so often not the case, Corlett gives you the green light to use stale beans for a special type of brew: cold brew. This is especially important when buying pre-ground coffee, because of the increased exposure to oxygen. If you buy whole beans, grind the amount you need immediately before brewing. Freshness is critical to a quality cup of coffee. Experts agree that coffee should be consumed as quickly as possible after it is roasted, especially once the original packaging seal has been broken.
While there are different views on whether or not coffee should be frozen or refrigerated, the main consideration is that coffee absorbs moisture — and odors, and tastes — from the air around it, since it is hygroscopic bonus vocabulary word for all the coffee geeks out there.
Most home storage containers still let in small amounts of oxygen, which is why food stored a long time in the freezer can suffer freezer burn. Ditch the original packaging, instead sealing small portions of the beans in plastic zipper bags to fend off freezer burn.
They can stay put for about a month before the quality deteriorates. When you want to use a bag, defrost it and transfer the beans to an airtight container—and don't refreeze them.

So I give the tube a good shake to get the beans even tighter and add the few missing beans. If you want to be even more detailed, you could write the perfect recipe that you have used so you have it ready in two years when you take the coffee from the freezer.
Really long. So long that you don't have to even care about it as probably you won't store it so long that something would happen. Some studies have shown that a day in room temperature is the same thing as over days in freezer. It would say at least two years and actually I have began to collect my own coffee collection in my freezer. I want to come back to my competition coffee from in three years and see if it tastes as good as today.
