How long will Whole beans last vacuum sealed and would freezing them help? I've seen some very short times to years... any input?
We bought this for camping from REI:

It's not as efficient as a drip coffee maker, meaning it uses more coffee grounds. We use the regular ground coffee. It makes a great cup of coffee and only requires hot water, no electricity.
Try Stok. Available on Amazon. Looks like a creamer pack from a restaurant. 2 shots of caffeine. Stores well.I have been coveting my sodas but I probably should put back a can of coffee or some of those awesome caffeine drink packets if they have them next time I venture out to the fully stocked grocery store (seriously everything but TP).
Today I discovered a problem with my emergency coffee plan as the power went out this morning about 6AM.
I only had whole bean coffee and no off-grid means of grinding. So I had to fire up the generator just to use the coffee grinder. At least we are on utility gas and water.

Personally, I’ve gone to the dark side. “Instant coffee” has come of age. There are many great “just add water” brews that are relatively inexpensive and store forever. Think Starbucks VIA but cheaper. The tubes are choice one but the standard jars make a good case storage wise as well. I like Tastle and Douwe Egbert. Some tubes are Asian manufactured and you can get them blonde or sweet and blonde...in the tube. If you’ve never had Vietnamese coffee, you’re in for a treat.
