Freezing; was: Re: What is in Apple Juice?

June 26, 2004

Hi n,

I've heard that about coffee too. I think it is that in frost free

freezers, the moisture is constantly removed and the natural oils

that give the coffee it's flavor dry up over time. Maybe putting it

in an airtight container would help? I freeze my coffee and think

it stays fresher longer that way, but it's in an airtight container.
