To Freeze or Not to Freeze, That is the Question

   As I make a cup of coffee this morning, I'm thinking about a recent change I made.  I'm getting my coffee out of the cupboard rather than out of the freezer.

   When I was a kid, I always remember my parents keeping their ground coffee in the freezer.  Typically that was perk (coarse) ground.  The thinking was that keeping the coffee in the freezer would keep it fresh longer.

   So, when I got older and had my own freezer, I did the same.  Typically I would either have drip (fine) ground coffee or whole beans.  For many years I never thought about whether or not that made any sense.
