I’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time, but finally got fed-up enough with coffee taking up food space in the freezer. It’s a cute 1.8 cubic foot (probably about a quarter albatross for those using the metric system) little cooler-style fridge/freezer. Justified it further since if I ever needed to it has a 12v dc adapter for car use (doubt I ever will). It does feel pretty special for the coffee to have its own storage unit, and it makes finding frozen fruits and meat in the standard freezer easier to sift through. A couple of times I even threw stuff out of the freezer to make room for coffee, so I knew it was time to try this.

    So you are freezing roasted beans to slow degradation until you have enough time to drink. Neat!

    I considered it, but to keep roaster coffee fresh longer, I went the other direction. I buy green beans and roast myself in small batches on demand. Just a few days before I need to drink the batch.

    The clock doesn’t start ticking on beans until after roasting with all the complex maillard reactions.
