Airtight?:

Or something else?

Thank you!

CarefreeBuzzBuzz,

Thank you!

I'm sorry. My apologies. I am still figuring this site out.

I will check out that link!

By the way, the correct answer is: in 16 oz Ball canning jars, filled to the top, stuck in the freezer, and pulled out one jar at a time at least several hours in advance for it to come to room temperature before you open it. Once it's out of the freezer you leave it out (don't return to freezer) and keep it in an air-right container of your choice as you use it up over the next several days.

You'll eventually converge on that answer after sifting through the countless threads on it and trying for yourself.

Thank you iploya!

So far I am not convinced to freeze the coffee beans.

I am trying to figure out if airtight sealing is better or a one way release valve to let the degassing escape.

Umm, sorry but I found that the 8oz size is better. Though the 16 works alright when I run out of the 8s.

Plus three more bags of George Howell Duromina on another shelf. With limited roasts or seasonal coffees, you get them when you can!

Chamber sealer, so I can put two or three roaster's bags into a single bag, then repack after removing them one at a time. Pumped down to 99%+.

freeze after degas

Don't the beans continue to degas until they become stale or is there a point where the degassing stops? Put another way: I don't see how I could freeze the beans after degassing. Wouldn't they be stale at that point?
