At work we have started drinking plunger made coffee. I was skeptical at first but this has been the source of many a fine cup of coffee and is very easy and simple to make. No expensive equipment required.
Anyway, before Xmas one of the guys bought 250g of Kenyan coffee made by Five Senses here in W.A..
Chris then brought the coffee in after sitting at home in the ground state after Xmas. We only recently finished drinking it and it was still a fine cup of coffee even after several weeks of sitting in the ground state. I think most of this time it was stored in the freezer. It did clump too but it didnt seem to affect the flavour.
It has changed my ideas on the importance of coffee freshness, at least as far as plunger coffee goes. Espresso is more tricky as it is expected to produce crema and this definitely goes if you leave the coffee ground for any length of time.
