Some Tips To get around that problem, buy coffee from your local roaster, where they will gladly tell you the day it was roasted. If you are adventurous you can even go to the extreme of roasting your own coffee. Lastly, you shouldn't buy coffee from a supermarket, even if it is a local roaster's brand. The tough part is over. The answer is any airtight container.
Air is coffee's enemy.
Keep it away from air and your battle is won. Almost any container with a sealable lid will do. Anything from an old coffee can with a lid to Tupperware will work. The fancy stainless steel coffee containers with clamping seals are nice and attractive but not necessary, unless you plan to store your coffee in the freezer. If you only keep a two-week supply of coffee on hand, freezing coffee is not necessary.
