Careful, now. Every step down the path to coffee bliss leads not only to a hightened sense of giddiness, but an increasingly ethereal sense of one's wallet. Nicely done, Derek!

Personally, I can tell the difference in taste, and I just hate that freezerburned aftertaste (and I swear I can taste the freezer even if it was in a sealed container). If you think it's fine, rock on!<BR/><BR/>And dude! You know the old vivid studios? You <I>are</I> oldschool.

Maybe I'm one with no taste or class? Or maybe there is just something plain wrong with me, but I stopped refrigerating my coffee altogether a few years ago.<BR/><BR/>Yes I go through my coffee quickly, but there is something I like about the softness of the flavour that coffee takes on when it's been sitting at room temp for a while (sealed of course).
