Really " NEver store in freezer? 'never head anything that was as concrete about coffee storage as : "NEVER". The best easy tip: Keep it dry, out of the air( in an airtight container),and away from sunlight.

Coffee is heavy....very heavy and you probably wouldn't want to store it at great hights on shelves. it doesn't take many bags to get quite a few tons and you wouldn't want it falling on anyone.
Coffee is also difficult to handle....the sacks are like trying to lift an unconscious human who is not co-operating (except sacks don't have handy arms and legs for grabbing on to!). A few Key factors to coffee storage.
1. Coffee likes similar conditions of temperature and humidty to human beings
2. it must never get wet...I'll repeat that it must NEVER get wet.
3. Storage should be off the ground (even a few inches) and shelves should be slatted/ventilated, airflow is a good thing
4. Traps and bait for rodents should be placed to protect the coffee
5. Inspect the coffee regularily, if any sacks look mouldy/infested, dump them before it affects the rest
6. The storage area should be clean and people should not eat in there
7. Wear a mask when handling green coffee (utensils for green and roasted should never be mixed).
8. Sprays, air fresheners and strong odours of any kind should be kept away from green coffee
9. Animals should never be allowed inside the storage area (cats, dogs birds etc..)
9. Storage area should be vacuumed regularily.
Theres a starter for you
