I had a thought that for shorter epriods of time freezing the bags wouldn't be as good as storing them on the shelf, but that this would change to the advantage of the freezer over time.

For our purposes, we regularly freeze our roast stock and have found that the freezing (in one-way valved, sealed bags) halts the development process until thawing. Did you say in the entry that the coffee is stored in "opened" bags? Sounds like a great experiment!

Did you say in the entry that the coffee is stored in “opened” bags?

Just to clarify; this blog is not Tims blog but the blog of Ola, the roastmaster at Tims roastery AKA me. I'm not conducting the test to come up with a universal truth, just to get some background for the recomendation we give to costumers on how to store their beans. Roast magazine did a more thorough test in their latest issue (http://www.roastmagazine.com/currentissue/toc.html), but they didn't include the time aspect which I thought would be significant; therefore this test. Rob,

Certainly if you're going to make espresso's. We keep an eye on it. Rob Antwerp Barista Tim,
