    In a coffee can in a bread pantry. Putting it in the freezer or fridge can make them become soggy and old when you take them out and leave them sitting somewhere and they defros and get wet. so put them in a bread pantry. or some place closed in place that is dry and clean.

    i dont know the best way, but the worst way is in your freezer.
    i learned in science that when you take the coffee beans out of the freezer, they begin to defrost, which takes away the coffee bean's flavor, leaving your coffee bland.

    hope i helped!
