Too many beans-Storage?

Coffee bean's two greatest enemies are air and moisture. Ideally, coffee should be ground, brewed, and consumed quickly to obtain the best flavor.
Coffee beans are at their peak within 24 to 72 hours after roasting and begin to quickly loose their fresh flavor after that (within a week, most of the original flavor will have deteriorated). Most experts recommend grinding your beans as you need them and storing the whole beans in an airtight container at room temp. if they come in a sealed bag keep them in it until you open them and then transfer them to an air tight container.
