I'm new to home espresso, machine shows up in the next day or two. Grinder shows up Mon or Tues. I'm impatient, so I went down to a Voyager Coffee nearby and got an espresso grind of about a 1/2lb of their Cascade blend to get me started.

When I have a grinder, I plan to store...

I got the Italian sampler bags of Mr Espresso with 3 12-ounce bags and on the bags and its say clearly DO NOT FREEZE . I have read many threads that freezing may or may not be beneficial in people's daily workflow versus storing in an airtight or vacuum jar, but I have never...

I bought 5lbs of my favorite espresso beans, in separate 10oz bags. They were roasted 4 days ago. I plan to vacuum seal and freeze the portions in not using, but how long off roast should I wait? thanks!

I have got two bags of coffee - trying to save the shipping costs :)

Has anyone been to this or are you going to this?

I have been buying 5 lb. bags of Red Bird Espresso beans as my go to coffee for some time. I break it down into quart Mason jars and vacuum and freeze them. The last time I did this I apparently packed the beans too soon as they developed pressure in the jars when I opened them...
