So, when does the freezer actually make sense? It’s not for your weekly bag of beans you’re drinking right now. It’s for the bulk stash—the five-pound bag you bought on sale because you couldn’t resist.
Think of it like this: you wouldn’t freeze a loaf of bread you’re eating today, right? You freeze the extra loaves you plan to eat next month. Same logic applies. Freeze coffee only if you’re storing it for weeks or months, not days.
