General comment to all: Be careful with freezing beans, they easily absorb the scents and flavors floating around in your freezer.
Sure....again, you need to make sure it is sealed in a air tight container.
The D&D comes in a resealable foil pouch.
After talking out a 2-3 day supply, I squeeze the pouch to remove excess air, carefully seal, then fold 3-4 times and clip with a kitchen clip.....you know, the things you seal up a open bag of chips and such.
Works great

Some say it is.....I ground my own for a long time....I can't tell a difference.
The difference is mostly the ground coffee can lose it's nose much faster...and that is the flavor....but if you seal it properly and drink the stuff often enough, you won't have any problems.
That's why I work on a 2-3 day supply out on the counter in tupperware container and keep the rest sealed in the freezer.
And Purp....$30 a lb for Blue MTN?? You sure it isn't a blend?? You are getting a great buy.
Like I said, life is too short to drink crappy coffee....kind of like wine for me....I just can't find 100% for under $40-$50 a lb.
I have quite a few aged and expensive Bordeaux wines I enjoy on special occasions, and sometimes because I just feel like it and have it it the cellar.....just not every night.
I'll have to find your market when I come up in the fall. I'll buy bean coffee for storage. I still have a couple of grinders stuffed away in one of my many "junk", but not "totally junk" cabinets.
That might make my next thread...what's in your junk cabinet??

I buy Blue Mountain on-line when I can't find it locally - it's $37/lb if you buy 2 lbs (and progressively less if you buy more). I use http://www.jamaicacoffee.net/I freeze a lot of it and keep a 2-3 day supply in my Jura coffee maker (it grinds the beans when a cup is made).

You keep talking crap I might have to buy one of those damn things! 
I have always been a sucker for stuff.
I was going to say I have spent $50,000 of stuff I rarely used....it probably isn't that much, but it's a lot...and there are still a couple of coffee makers that I probably spent a hundred or more each on that are stuffed in to some corner.
My saving grace is I was never like that with cars. I buy them, then wear them out.....but stuff like kitchen gadgets, TV's, bells and whistles for the TV...those salespeople love to see me enter the store.
At least now my eyesight is bad enough and temperament short enough I can't hook the suckers up without hours of hell....so I quit doing it as often.
When I buy something new, nobody needs be around when I am "attempting" to hook it up....I cuss in combinations never before spoken on planet earth..

$30 for 12 oz. (3/4 lb.). I get it at The Fresh Market. For my grinder, I use the Jura-Capresso Infinity.

I agree that fresh ground is the way to go. 100% Colombian. Morning noon or night. I'm one of those people who can fall asleep after an evening cup of Joe. I'm not one for instant coffee, but my Daughter bought me a box of the single cup packs of Star bucks colombian and I have to say it was worlds better then the stuff we got in the C rations. Good yes (powerful)...expensive? Yes way! Of coarse I thanked her, but as her father a had to point out the fact that it was a bit too frugal. And there is not much better then a cuban coffee with a fresh pressed cuban sandwich

I don't drink coffee. I never did like the stuff. However Balpeen I buy a large bag of the Dunkin Donuts coffee for my better half every two weeks.
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... except when I am wrong.

I prefer my own coffee, probably drink two or three cups a day. Maxwell House, instant (I don't like brewed coffee) with a bit of sugar and some milk. I can do without sugar but I need milk or cream in my java. I take my own coffee to work because no one makes coffee as well as I do.... for my own personal taste, of course.

I drink about 2 cups a day, tyipcally one in the morning after being at work for about an hour, and a second cup around 1:30. I drink the office coffee, its free and not bad. On the weekends I tend to go to a coffee shop at the end of my block. I used to brew my own on occansion at home, but I have roommates living in the city and found them abusing my coffee (no cleaning it, drinking all my coffee and not replacing it etc...) so I said forget it and started drinking the office coffee.
