    Storing beans in the freezer sounds smart—after all, we freeze meat and veggies to keep them fresh. But is it good for coffee? 🤔

    ⚠️ The answer: Only if absolutely necessary. Freezing unopened bags can extend freshness up to 3 months—but there are catches.

    📌 Here’s what you need to know:

    • ❄️ Only freeze unopened vacuum-sealed bags.

    • 🧊 Never refreeze once opened—it ruins the flavor.

    • 🌬️ Thaw the beans completely before opening, or condensation will ruin them.

    💡 Why not refrigerate instead? Because coffee beans are moisture magnets. Your fridge is full of smells and humidity—both enemies of flavor.

    ➡️ Unless you bulk-buy or store beans long-term, a freezer isn’t needed. Just buy in small amounts and use them up in a few weeks.

    Have you ever frozen your beans? Did it work well—or backfire? Curious to hear your freezer stories.
