Keep coffee grounds fresh

1222600_coffee_beansThe freezer isn’t always the right place to keep your coffee grounds. The cannisters of (cheap, pre-ground) coffee I buy recommend keeping it in the freezer, but I’m beginning to understand why the last quarter of the can tastes like cardboard.

Apparently what I need to do is break my cannisters down into amounts I can drink in a few days, and keep one “several days’ supply” at room temperature, and put the rest in the freezer until I’m ready for it.

Yeah, I should probably learn to grind my own beans, but I’m just not that much of an aficionado. ;)
