Where to Store Coffee: Pantry vs. Freezer | Real Simple
Keep It Shelved
The best way to keep ground coffee or whole beans fresh is to store the coffee on a pantry shelf in an opaque airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture, says Scott McMartin, who has tasted more than half-a-million cups of coffee as a member of the Starbucks Green Coffee Quality group. (If you don't have a canister, close the top of the bag with a rubber band, then put the bag in a resealable plastic bag.) When you freeze the coffee you use every day, the fluctuating temperatures create moisture in the packet, which can leave your morning cup tasting like cardboard. "The cell structure changes, which causes a loss of the oils that give coffee its aroma and flavor," says McMartin. So why do so many coffee connoisseurs keep their stashes in the freezer? Probably because they stock up and store the coffee there for a longer time.

Out with The Old, That wall has to go ~ Kitchen Before & After
Aside from the outdated wallpaper, this kitchen had a lot going on. The original kitchen was closed off from the rest of the house with dropped soffits and walls separating it, it felt like you were in a box.
We removed the wallpaper, took down a few walls, got rid of the soffits and opened the new kitchen up to the adjoining breakfast area and family room. We made the kitchen part of the house instead of a separate room stuck in a box.
We increased the size of the pantry, made the cabinet over the refrigerator deeper so it was accessible and increased the height of the new upper cabinets. In addition this kitchen boasts a total of five drawer banks for amazing amounts of usable functional storage. New stainless steel appliances, solid cherry wood cabinets and spectacular granite countertops give this kitchen a timeless look that is now the center of activity in their home.
We received the following letter from the homeowner upon completion of this job -
Dear Carmen,
I
wanted to drop you a note to let you know again how happy we are with
our kitchen/house remodel job. Everything came out beautiful, it’s like
having a new home. You delivered on each and every aspect of the
project. You guided us through the job our first meeting when we
discussed the job and process to the final walk-through.
We very much appreciate your high standards for quality and value and want to mention some things that set you apart from other contractors we know or talked to. Your excellent communications provided us confidence that every dollar was spent wisely. You stayed on budget and always let us know when issues arose.
All your subcontractors and workers were safe, neat, honest and highly qualified. Your eye for design and color was great. Overall, we can say that we received quality work and materials at a good price. We once hired a contractor who’s starting goal was to be friends with their clients after the project was completed. I am happy to say that now we have had two contractor experiences we can say that about.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to anybody and wish you the best.
