>What's the deal with coffee? How do you keep it fresh?

Coffee is like bread. You buy fresh roasted and grind it yourself if you want the good shit.
If you for some reason need to store it for longer, put it in the freezer.
Pre-ground is good too if you don't have a grinder and just want coffee. Just stay away from instant.

Yea, I have the pre grind coffee (in bulk) right now and its starting to go stale or something

I might buy a grinder and try something else with my coffee habits...

Put the grounds in the freezer and scoop em outta there in the mornings for your coffee. Next time buy whole bean and grind them yourself, you'll notice a difference in flavor. We buy from local roasters because the less time it's been sitting on a grocery store shelf, the better.

Yea, I've talked to someone about buying local from some small shop and finding a roast you like, the thing is I am a bit anti social and am worried about getting coffee from a local roaster....

Just figure out the roast you like and ask for that roast.
