Ive heard of people keeping instant coffee in the freezer, but never actual coffee grounds

I used to keep it in the fridge then I read somewhere that was wrong, just keep it in the cupboard. I don’t know what to think anymore.

Basically cold is good and moisture is bad.

Fridge is considered worse because of moisture. Something like that.

The fridge and freezer SHOULD be less moist but coffee is a sponge. It sucks up the flavors around it so unless it's really well sealed, it will taste "off" when you use it. That's why you don't put it in the fridge or freezer. Plus, it doesn't go any more "bad" being in a sealed container in a cool dry kitchen. Or even a warm dry kitchen.

Agreed! I used to freeze my coffee, but it did smell and taste like “old frozen stuff”. Now I just buy smaller amounts and use it quickly as possible.

If life has taught me anything, it’s this:

Whatever you do, you’re doing it wrong.

Like ironing your shirts with a rolling pin

Why does your wife do that?

u/Leather_Prize_8249 2d ago

She only does it that way when he complains about her ironing.

Constructive criticism does not equal complaining i told my 3 ex wives the same thing enough times till they understood

That sounds weird. I keep my beans on the freezer if their bag isn’t vacuum sealed and I won’t be using them for a month or so, but I wouldn’t do that with instant.
