There are several coffees worth seeking out--Jamaican Blue Mountain, Kona, Sumatra Mandheling are amazing. Others will have favorites.

The link here is a quick read. Please look at the Nota Bene which explains a lot. I don't find that freezing or refrigerating is a friend to coffee. But then I think most people, my DH included, drink stale coffee. And yes, I'm a tea snob, too.

That's interesting, Orchids. Also, I have been "freezing" coffee at home for years. I used to do whole bean and grind it just before brewing. I've become lazy, or cheap, or both, and now just buy ground coffee. But I still freeze it. I'm wondering if that's helping or hurting?

Thanks for the link.
