If you order 5 to 15 lbs of coffee from Indigo, it will easily keep fresh. Here is (are) the secret(s). (1) only grind what you need for a few days (2) freeze what you do not need for a week. It keeps for a long time since the real flavors are volatile fatty acids (3) thaw in refrigerator overnight. (4) allow to come to room temp and grind. Actually, any way you handle it will be better than that the 11.5 ounce "pounds" of crap on the store's shelves. I find Indigo's coffee is the best on the East Coast. I have tried many.

I've been enjoying my 10-lbs of Indigo coffee (Indian Mysore Nuggets and Cost Rican Tarrazu) since it arrived several days ago. I like the roast which I think is much better than Starbucks and the price at $8/lb plus a little shipping. I don't think I'll ever go back to regular store bought coffee beans anymore. Thanks for the tips!
