Fucking coffee elitists. Look, everyone has their weird little passions that they zoom in on. For some, it's about coffee. I've had great fucking coffee, and also gone to the lengths necessary to extract the best flavor, which meant roasting the beans myself from a huge pile of green beans that I split with others, storing in smaller bags with proper seal and valves to let gases out and keep light out, all stored at proper temps, and then brewing at temps ideal for the bean and roast.
Was it great coffee? You bet. One day I realized I was spending a shit ton of time and money on coffee that was better, but I did not think the extra time and money was worth it. I can make great tasting coffee using some easier to find grinds and beans, and brewing on the stove. No fancy shit needed.
I am as happy now sipping on a great tasting cup of coffee made with so much less time and money all because I can use that extra time and money in other ways, more important than fucking coffee.
Just my opinion. Coffee elitists will call me Satan. I don't fucking care.

I'm not an elitist. One of the barnds I drink regularly is Dunkin Donuts, for Pete's sake. I just don't like to waste money so I try to store it well, especially since I have more than one brand going at a time.
Satan!

I meant those judging friends of your were the coffee elitists. But since you called me Satan, it is pretty clear you were triggered by practical, down to earth coffee logic. You might want to sell your thousand dollar espresso machines and invest in something you can use after SHTF, like vacuum sealed coffee cans.
EDIT: All tongue in cheek of course.
EDIT EDIT (full-retard mode still enabled): I like Dunkin Donuts brand too. It is good shit. So is fucking McCafe, strangely enough. Yeah, I'm Satan incarnate.

Tongue firmly planted in cheek. Got it!
I have a French press that is designed for use on campfires, for when SHTF and I need some coffee. (Before it all runs out...)

It never has before. We keep it on the top shelf. It also seems to keep it fresher because we also used to just keep it in the pantry. It even says on the can to refrigerate it after opening.

That's how I stored it when I drank coffee, minus the labels, I had two different colored containers so I knew which was which. I bought good quality coffee so I did what I could to keep it fresh.
How do they store theirs?

They either leave it in the bag that it comes in and put it in the kitchen cabinets or they put it inthe freezer, like heathen.

i wouldn't expect a professor to be anything less than fastidious. i'm one of those heathens who keeps a 2 week supply in the cabinet in original packaging

I keep it in a glass jar with a rubber seal on it. I usually buy my coffee from a local farmer.

That seems uncomfortable. Do you prefer beans or grinds?

Your friends are snobs and they are trying to make you feel bad so it makes them feel superior. I don't put up with them types. Tell them like it or bring your own fucking coffee if mine isn't good enough for you.

Coffee is perishable, treat it as such. I find it needs a few days to a week after roasting to outgas and reach best flavor, it’s not subtle, it’s a big difference. After that you get about three weeks of good coffee , or rather it’s as good as the beans were (massive variation like in fruits and vegetables) and as good as the roast were.
Problems are additive. Screw up any part, it can taste bad, screw up another part, it tastes even worse.
Ground coffee is good for less than an hour. This is easy to test side by side if you have fresh roasted coffee. If it sat on a shelf for unknown time, it’s dead. If you buy preground, it’s dead.
Airtight jars in a cool temperature stable environment is optimal.
Coffee is a deep rabbit hole, but if you could taste what I am drinking right now, you would realize every other cup you have ever had was a lie and burned bean water.

That's ok I like my burned bean water.

That’s fine. I used to like lots of things. Chef Boyardee. Grocery store tomato’s. Budweiser.
Take the tomato for example, buy a grocery store tomato. It’s hard, nearly tasteless, with an aftertaste of bitter.
Now take a dry farmed organic heirloom tomato grown by somebody’s grandmother in her garden that she dutifully composts with all her kitchen scrap. It’s a mind blowing difference.
Now extrapolate that’s same difference from burned bean water to what I have and call coffee. It’s like listening to amateur rap at open mic night compared to shakespearean theatre from acclaimed artists at a top theater.
Go unplug most of your spark plug wires on your sports car and then review it and how much you love it and it’s awesome. Difference is you know what I could be and know it not.

You are right and have a valid point.
I think I'll still stay with my burned bean water since I like it now though. Your way sounds like way too much work when I don't know, taste wise, any better.
