Yes, you can keep coffee beans in the freezer. Coffee beans are seeds of the coffee plant, and they can be stored in the freezer for up to six months. When stored in the freezer, coffee beans will stay fresh and retain their flavor.<\/p>\n

When it comes to coffee, it’s important to be mindful of where you store it. Coffee will pick up the onions in the bottom, the butter on the third shelf, so it’s best to keep it in a sealed container or in the fridge. Don’t put your coffee in the freezer either—the moisture molecules in the coffee beans will freeze and expand, causing tiny hairline fractures in the beans’ structure. This will result in a less than ideal cup of coffee, so it’s best to avoid the freezer altogether.<\/p>\n
