I've never had a problem with the beans taking on the odors of other things stored in the freezer. Ideally, I only buy what I will use up in 7-10 days, but Zecuppa, for example, requires that you purchase at least 5 Lbs at a time.

There is a lot of evidence from roasters that it's OK to freeze sealed, unopened bags of coffee you don't expect to use for a while. Just don't open a bag and put it back in the freezer - the atmospheric moisture that gets in when you open it condenses on the beans and starts the decline. Just store unfrozen beans in a cool dark spot in an airtight container. As for the fridge? Never! I agree, mostly.
