Coffee beans are very perishable, with their flavor and freshness being quickly impacted by exposure to the air and light. A key negative impact for home-based baristas like us is that there is a very noticeable reduction in how much crema can be produced within a week of opening a new package of coffee beans. So either you have to use your new beans within a week, or for longer storage, keep them in a way that will extend their freshness.
The key to keeping your coffee beans as fresh as possible for as long as possible is to keep them in a dark air-tight container. I used to keep my coffee beans vacuum-sealed in a "Bean Vac" coffee canister from Sharper Image. It was battery operated and as soon as you closed the lid a vacuum pump would start up and vacuum seal the canister. It was great but eventually the vacuum seal started to fail and the pump would kick into action on a regular basis including the dark of night!

| Vacu Vin Coffee Saver |
For the last several years I have had one of these Vacu Vin Coffee Savers
that I got from Amazon, and it keeps my beans as fresh as when I first opened them without any rude-awakenings in the middle of the night or pressure to use up a full pound within a week. No batteries required; just some pump-action from your biceps and a little elbow-grease. That's exercise with your daily habit!
Nice article that encapsulates many of the reasons people feel the need to overly sweeten their morning. I buy my coffee in small quantities, even if it's more expensive, because I only drink a cup or two a day and larger packages just go rancid on me. Thanks your article gives me further knowledge on how to keep my coffee as long as possible.
